Isn't this thing dead yet?

Looks good J, are you gonna weight the rear wheels at all to even out the weight distribution front to back?

JohnRobHolmes · 03-28-2008, 05:52 PM

Dont know how I missed this. Good looking build you got here! 85t motors, that is some slow molassas.

Was running 85's in the Raptor's due to there gearing. Now that i'm running Clod's there built 45's or 55's...they were actually the motor's Dirk Digler just sold Tanis in his Super...I got the motor's(so not sure of turn) and had them worked on by 4season's...turned, badass brushe's, etc.

With some dremel work you can get full steering out of the
Raptor 2 dogbones. That chassis is cool looking

I was way past the point of making dogbones work, I was drilling out Raptor2 shaft's so I could insert clod CVD's. I just to much to get done with 2.2 and Super before warcrc series final on April 5th and Nat's on April 12th. I have to simplify the build for now.

Thanks, I'm very proud of the chassis plate's look's

Re-did the rear setup again...lol.

I seem to be happy with this setup.

Ok, back to the 2.2. Dremel should be charged.

Great looking rig Jason.

Cant wait to see it run at the TCS comp.

4stAir · 04-03-2008, 03:17 PM

jason you are coming to ecc...
cool i will have to make sure i get a chance to shoot the breeze with ya. cant wait to it kick my ass.

H3RESQ · 04-07-2008, 03:56 AM

It's getting there....Got the Dual Mamba Max's in. Along with the BEC and reciever...etc.

Gotta get a couple little thing's tomorrow so I can get the wiring cleaned up. I also need to get the front steering finished up and paint the body and It should be ready for a test run.

Here's pic's so far...

H3RESQ · 04-07-2008, 09:55 PM

Got all the wiring done. Painted body. got the rear steering finished. Just waiting for a servo horn for the front and she's ready.

4stAir · 04-09-2008, 10:39 PM

looks damn good man...

Tanis · 04-09-2008, 10:49 PM

I like how it finally turned out H3, looks sleek and stealthy.....is it dead yet?

H3RESQ · 04-11-2008, 09:02 AM

She's a runner. I drove her here at Fish's for a few minute's. Drive's just like my last one.

It should perform well.........but will I?

Yes body is comp legal.....if you read the 08 rule's it's legal.

I would guess I've still got 70% too, so it would have been legal last year when I ran the same body cut the same way.

Stick King · 04-26-2008, 04:34 AM

Nice rig H3! Real nice! Didn't you have this down Tenn? I saw something like this down there but i could of been mistaken....i did peep quite a few rigs that day. That chassis looks killer. Makes me want to build another super just to run one

Will they be reasonably priced? No I won't ask for any release date. Don & Brock have had enough stress. LOL

Nice build. I think you need to look up what "murdered out" means though. Still, Sweet rig!
