Jebster's Sherp

[jebster]

I'm always on the lookout for unique rigs. I saw some videos featuring an rc Sherp and I knew I had to get one. I put in an order with rccustoms and many months later I got unit #29.
I made some updates right away. Added a roll cage with lights. It came with dual esc and a stick radio which I'm not a fan of so I switched over to a sabertooth escape and pistol radio.
It is fun to drive. Not the most capable rig but mud and water are no issue. Took it out for a quick spin on the snow earlier: https://youtu.be/ZH8alfLH7Hk

Now I'm putting together a trailer. It is 3d printed and will have a shape to compliment the Sherp.

Here are a few pics.

That's pretty cool, who makes it and how much?

Pretty wild looking man. Sweet looking trailer too!!!
Most definitely unique.

Nice, the trailer turned out excellent. Try not to jackknife it

It is from customrc. I think he is on Facebook. And definitely not cheap but I guess you pay for uniqueness.

I actually have that same jack knife concern. To address that the hitch plate on the trailer I going to be held in place by magnets. My plan is that if I push it too far it will detach to prevent damage. Once I get it fabricated I'll post up some pics.

Now you won't need that salt spreader rig..
Just power right thru!
Definitely different

I like things that are different. But with the sleet and ice I'm getting I may have to use the salt spreader tomorrow.

Get everything finished up (minus the hub caps) and I'm happy with the outcome. In the pics you can see how I use magnets to create a separation point if I jackknife or just get too crazy. The trailer is completely sealed so is should float.

I'll try to get a video of it in action on the ice tomorrow since my driveway is completely coated.

Short drive around the basement.

Thanks. I love the challenge of trying to build something different. Now it will spend most of its life on a shelf with some occasional runs!

I’m so intrigued by the Sherp, might just have to add one
