Ok....it's well known around these parts that I suck with the stick radio, so I decided to do something about that:



...and all I've got to say is....the PunkRC Dig Switch is AWESOME! Here's a short video that I shot in my backyard course:

Next, I will be working on getting more steering out of this thing.

Nope....those Molands use two sets (a total of 4 tires) of Maxx sized Badlands and two sets (a total of 4 tires) Moab sidewalls.

Thanks for the compliments!

No problem.

BTW, I've switched to a set of Chisels with Crwlr1 foams inside them. I'll be testing this setup out this week...

Made a few changes:
(new body....yes, looks just like the old one; new tires and foams)



(Slippage)



It has been performing quite well. It climbs vertical ledges like a champ! I still haven't decided on the tires. The Panthers perform well, but just dont provide the height that is needed with these Clod diffs.

Anyway, here is a short video:

looking good. The only thing that would make it a little nicer would be a set of miniclod axles.

Well, those Panthers just arent giving the diff clearance that this truck needs, so here is my new setup (well, the rear is finished anyway):
(RC4WD X-Locks with some chopped up Crwlr1 6" foams)


Oh, and I added a pinstripe!

It's too bad the Clods suffer from that huge gear that kills ground clearance.
Welcome back to the comp scene....glad to see I inspired you guys.
