Got it all back together, well sort of. I just set it on the wheels to see what it looks like. Still waiting on my two moped's and my adapters. Anyway let me know what yall think.

Kamikaze · 07-12-2006, 02:37 PM

How about this, errr mabey not

Kamikaze · 07-13-2006, 12:58 PM

Got a package today, the only thing that sucks is the rx wires are to short so now I need some extensions. Now all I need are my adapters and I will be good to go. Also I'm going to put a hood on to.

clod booster · 07-13-2006, 05:44 PM

dude, that thing looks sweet. what kind of escs are those, and how much did they cost?

copperhead crawlers? (name)

Kamikaze · 07-13-2006, 06:42 PM

that would be the MOPED V16r with a 3 amp 5 volt bec. i think i gave like $65 for both of them.

I dub the "COPPERHEAD" thanks for the idea

Badd · 07-13-2006, 06:49 PM

so man u about ready to rip some paint off it ? i means is it about ready or you still waiting on them adapters ? btw it looks good !!!!!

Kamikaze · 07-13-2006, 06:53 PM

I think I've decided to make this a shelf queen, I don't want to get it dirty,,,,,,,,,, yeah right I can't wait to try out those moabs, plus I hooked up those speed controlls and I can't get the bec to overload, plus they have a third of the reverse delay that my old ones did. I'm going out of town tonight till sunday night so mabey my adapters and my extensions will be on the door when I get back.

Kamikaze · 07-13-2006, 06:55 PM

Oh yeah, my old red frame in on ebay if anyone is interested.

clod booster · 07-13-2006, 07:51 PM

hey, where did you get those mopeds? i would kill for a set of two for 65$

Kamikaze · 07-16-2006, 10:48 PM

Well I just got back tonight, no parts in the mail:-( but while I was in Texas I stumbled on a Wal-Mart that was getting rid of 1:6 Nylint Scorpions for $49.00!!!! I got one, I started to buy all 10 of them and put them on e-bay but I had no way to get them home. I guess I need to build another tuber for my wife. I should have bought two for rear steer but oh well.

Kamikaze · 07-19-2006, 08:10 PM

Got the addapters and the extensions, just finished it up tonight, I must say that the XL's are 100 times better than the nylints or the k rocks. The just seem to conform to everything. Anyway I'm going to thrash this thing tomorrow but for now just some clean pics, probably the last time it will have paint on it.

Kamikaze · 07-19-2006, 08:12 PM

BADD and THEBIGJATT, I'm all yours if you want to get together.

Kamikaze · 07-19-2006, 08:14 PM

last ones, let me know what yall think, I just ordered a tlt-1 kit so expect a 2.2 tuber in the next few weeks.

Kamikaze · 07-19-2006, 08:17 PM

I also want to thank bender for the awsome addapters, they were almost a press fit on both the brass hex and the rim. I recomend them to anyone.

clod booster · 07-19-2006, 08:51 PM

id change the steering servo mounts, those put the forward to far. if the paint wears off well have to make another name for it.

sweet ride

Kamikaze · 07-19-2006, 08:59 PM

I just changed them back from bta and before that from mounted on the support and I like this way better. Just a personal prefrence

Kamikaze · 07-20-2006, 04:11 PM

Weighed it today, 9lbs 7oz. with 7 cell pack.

Kamikaze · 07-21-2006, 08:26 PM

Well traction is good and bad, Just had to order two new gear sets, since the 12 mm hex desided to spin instead of turning the tires. Just a good example of how much traction the moab xl's bring to the table. See you again in 2 to 3 buisness days.
