| My Gmade R1 RedCat
I have really enjoyed watching and learning from all of your builds and figured I would repay with some pics of mine. Its by no means a comp rig but very fun to run around the yard. axles - RS10 chassis - Gmade R1 tires - Panther Cougers Links- Top RedCat, Bottom Axial Bent servo - Tower Pro MG946R w/ aluminum horn motors - 390 RedCats knuckles Ax10 Venom alum rear lockout Me body - axial xc-1 until I decide on a body to pick up radio - flysky 2.4ghz Battery 8.4 3800 mah (heavy!) By the end of the week it will be on 3s lipo with an Outcry esc and still need to paint the R1 panels. Last edited by Kcsport; 02-22-2011 at 06:04 PM. |

Yea I really like the look of the R1 chassis. The wheelbase is about an inch over but longer shocks and some derlin I will set it up better. Thanks!

How come you have the lighter electronic components on the lower tray and the heavier battery on the upper tray?

The 8.4 stick pack I was using was to long to fit in the lower tray. Believe me I would have if it would fit. But I just got my Outcry esc and will be running lipos.

Did you use stock lower links as the upper links or the stock upper links?

Great looking rig! how do the shocks work now that they are more vertical? did you have to change the springs? The R1 always seems a bit of a packaging challenge when installing the components to achieve a lower CG; since it was not originally meant to be a MOA, I think that is why the battery is on top? |
