|  2010 Dorkstar Hybrid
Since building my 2.2" Dorkstar Jeep for Montana 2009, I've discovered a couple things. The first is that the Summit Tranny is the Truth, the Light and the Way. It's provided me with the Go-fastitude I desire from a brushless speed truck and the slow crawling ability of a standard crawler. It'll never break or strip a spur, and although it's fairly large, I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of room for its benefits. Here's the Jeep for those who missed it: Dorkstar Jeep 2.2 Second is that as much as I liked my Jeep, it doesn't look right with the light-weight lexan chevy body on it. It was designed for the Jeep, but that body is simply too heavy to compete with... Using what I've learned from "Go-fast scale," I want to create a truly fast yet capable Hybrid that will satisfy both my Go-fast side and my Scale Crawler side... Think King of the Hammers... Enjoy the ride! Thanks, -Ryan Last edited by rbgerrish; 01-03-2010 at 05:24 PM. |

It's going to need Juice! Enter Maxamps waterproof 4200 11.1v Lipo. Runtime!  The wheels and tires are RC4wd 2.2" RoxLox and J Concepts Tense Beadlocks. Sexy...  I'm going to attempt to keep this rig relatively light, which means sacrificing a few things. I'm going plastic wheels and light on the tubing and interior... Stay tuned, things are going to get interesting tomorrow!  Ryan Last edited by rbgerrish; 12-21-2009 at 12:50 PM. |
