Default Scatterbrains 2011 Turbo Tech Super Bully build

2011 brings in a new era of super class, i needed to step up my game (ok just wanted to build a new rig )
Chassis is from Turbo Tech by Turbofest, Links, skid, sideplates, and SS 4mm grub screws were included. The fit and finish and quality is fantastic, It assembled well and is very well thought out. I highly recommend this chassis on those reasons alone.
SPECS:
Turbo Tech Customs chassis kit
Turbo Tech Customs steering kit (not pictured)
65:1 super bullies gearboxes with standard tubes and knuckles
MThead rear bully dual servo plate
BROOD 45t motors
2 futaba s9157 servos (rear steering)
Hitec TH7980 servo (front steering)
Futaba 4pk
Castle dual BEC unit
Castle BEC
Tekin FXR esc x2
Custom built sedona trencher 8"tall tires
Svens bully weight setup (won at nats 2010) thanks Sven

On to the pics
Axles


Rubber before the cut


First cuts






Final tire 8" static height


This is how the chassis shows up


Great finish and awesome engraving!


Links finished


Chassis ready to go


Semi roller time


Rear axle


front axle


Mock up with body and tires


GC


Love the way this looks!!!


Stay tuned Updates to follow..............

Jeremy and SB; I'm pretty sure that's the upper link mounts off a XLD axle. http://store.rc4wd.com/Bully-XLD-Com...les_p_461.html

Really.....I wonder if he made those or if RC4WD has changed their design. Those are different from mine...

Pretty sure he got xld's from a local member and then decided he wanted to go full width...he got tubes and xvd's and just used the xld upper mount...notice that the upper links are offset to one side rather than straddling the upper link mount

Pretty soon there will need to be super super class, those tires are huge, is the wheel base 18"? That thing look cool, the tires especially. I would love to see an RC crawler class bigger than supers, super are the coolest.
