ROCKEDUP RICKY · 12-06-2008, 05:05 PM

Here's what I got.
AKRCC ZEUS SUPER CHASSIS
2 60turn motors
1 Mamba esc
2 Jr 8711 servos
Castle bec
2 clod axle all metal inside and out
specktrum radio/rev
narrowed proline wheels with desertcat tires

I'm running a 16.25 wheelbase and a track width of 13.75 and my GC is 4.25.

I made some trays out of lexan for the electronics and put velcro on to hold them in place

There was alot of articulation so I limited the shocks with some fuel line. A 1/2 inch of pink tubing in the front and 3/4 of a inch of the yellow in the rear. The pink is softer than the yellow.

Here's a little video

You know I've been thinking about that.
I'm thinking about droping the rear steering and putting front and rear dig. It would be more like driving my berg.
I don't like stick radio, I have enough trouble with the stick I got now ,without adding two more.

And don't want to spend 500 on a 4 ch pistol radio , right now anyway

.
I thinking I would get more out of f/r dig than just rear steer. Thats what I'm thinking any way.:neutral:

Ripperfi · 12-07-2008, 11:27 AM

Nice job on the rims and tires. Nice video. Looks great.

yes, the dig would make more sense, i think the 4PK is a very nice radio, I just bought 1 myself as a birthday gift to me,lol, but im using it now and it amazes me on how much stuff u can do with this radio just by adding 1 channel!

ADDICT · 12-08-2008, 04:08 AM

I have a tire fedish and I'm always cutting up tires. Your right panthers and moabs. Thats why I call them desertcat, they work great for me. I didn't buy them I made them.

THANKS BOSS, he likes that song as much as I do. My sons friends think I'm a cool Dad cause I like they're music too. Around here most people think there is only 1 kind of music.

Well the XL Moabs are from an old set. And it takes me 6 panthers to go a round them. 10 tires to make a set.

I was just out in the garage and found a set of regular moabs, they have a stiffer side wall. So I going to make me a new set. Just got to order me some panthers.

And in case you were wondering it takes 3 licks to get to the center of a toosie pop
