| Aloha, bulldog made some progress:   ..lil kitten is not the new driver, just snoopy...     ...inside the "Black Box" under the FXR is a PunkRC Dig, it's boxed because i like neat tidy electronic installation and wireing without any "Havoc". What should i say, "German efficiency"  Hot wire arrives today, so i did some programming tonight. ...as you can see, servo's still missing, installation isn't easy, but get some ideas for an solution already. ...to be continued...

| That thing is just SUPER clean! The steering is a nice setup, its amazing how much clearance the bully's give once you get the link above the knuckles. One thing i noticed was your battery placement. Remember the front of the Havoc will flex inward when it articulates so make sure they have room to move. |

| small problem with your steering. panthers have very soft sidewalls that like to hook on things that get too cloose(i have been through a couple), in this case, the bolt and drag link. you need to get that tucked down inside the beadlock a bit farther. you may think that it is far enought away, but when the truck gets bound up, the tire will fold over onto that bolt |

Biggest problem is the FXR BEC, with 3s Lipos theres nothing left to come out of the BEC, so i'll have to install an CC-BEC. Greetings from Germany Frank Last edited by Dr.Frank; 06-21-2009 at 11:53 AM. | ||

| Hello, it's me again... Have done some practice yesterday evening and a friend of mine took this nice picture of my Rockstar Bully baby:  ...we are planning a little qualification run for the German Super Crawl 2010 in autumn this year and need some public relation pictures.
