I'll be the bad guy here. So you going to raffle of a rig for $35-40 (:shock:) that you playing with now? Doesn't seem right daddy-0. This build has gone way past the date it was supposed to be done and raffled. And to sell tickets for a rig that is getting scratched and used seems kinda crazy. $35-40 a ticket????:shock:

Sorry if that rubs you the wrong way. Thats how it is though."thumbsup"

Just curious as to how you came up with $35-40 for the tickets? This is why I'm saying something about the rig getting out on the rocks. If you sold 50 tickets here and 50 on say Scale4X4 were talking about a $4K rig!:shock: For that kind of $ you would expect a flawless rig yea?

As for the GRU that keeps breaking whats up? You knew what did it the first time yea? What did you change this time? I ran the same setup in the Dezfan RRR rig with a puller motor and never hurt it.

This build IS for me, in many ways that are different than you suggest. Yes, I get to build it and I get to test it. I don't get any of the parts and I don't get any of the money. I've put my own money and time into this too.

I do videos. I like to do them. I will use them to promote this rig and this raffle so that interest grows and possibly nets more ticket sales. I had always intended to use the videos as marketing. I run the rig for a few minutes to get some footage and post it up. That was the intent of this teaser video and to show that its nearing completion and is running.



I don't know what to say either. You make it sound like I have had it running all this time and have been "playing with it". I haven't. The price of the tickets has always been up in the air. I suggested some range early on, $25-$30 I think, and when I realized how involved, how many cool and great products and ideas were included that range has creeped up. But its still not unreasonable to think someone could own this for $30, is it?




I'm not sure you understand how a raffle works. The total raised could and hopefully will be well in excess of the actual value of the item being raffled. Its not like selling the item. If this raises $2k that doesn't mean it has to be something of that value. If it raises $4k, and I hope it does, that doesn't mean the rig has to be worth that much either.
More accurately the ticket cost should be a reasonable amount for the chance to win a rig valued at $900+ (in this case for your $30-$40 ticket purchase).

For $30-$40 you will get a fantastic rig that in parts alone is worth $900, not counting any of the custom work.

Lets do the math (in rough numbers):
Chassis-100
axles-100
transfer case-60
HPI gru-20
GD600 gru-15
motor-20
steering servo-35
wheels-40
tires-50
ESC-120
spektrum radio-100
body (two pajero shells+associated headlights, etc)-95
winch-30
custom lighting-75




It broke twice. First time was user error as I accidentally whacked a bunch of teeth off with a drill bit doing something else on it. This second time, today, was a surprise.




I don't agree that its in bad taste. I wanted the video so that people would get excited about it again now that I am focused on it once more.

My goal is to raise as much money as possible for the charity in doing this build. I was and still am very amazed and humbled by the tremendous generosity of many vendors and countless individuals on this and other sites, including non-rc sites, without whom this wouldn't exist.

You right. I hope it raises 10x's what it's worth for the cause it's going to"thumbsup" That said, good luck with it as I'm sure someone will be very happy with it.

I appoligize for making it seem like I was attacking you. I don't know you other than on the board. Good luck with the rest of the build"thumbsup"
