First pics of Leeroy. I will get alot better pic's soon. I'm running the rear axle backwards. A little trick I learned from Dezfan. this allows the tires to hit the rocks before the Motor a little easier. Also when doing this you gain roughly a 1/2in longer backbone. Which in return over time should give more flex. Just an added bouns. this is the chassis that will be sold.

Here is a pic of the hardware that comes with the kit. I know it's blurry, but my cheap camera wasn't working right. I'll get all new Pic's and replace these. I have to ask to use the 30D.

Can't use 4WS in the 2.2 class.

Leeroy is looking good and very familiar, maybe we should call this PIMP CANE the Dezfan edition!


Here are a few shots of my BTA setup, feel free to use it if you wish!

I'm just doing the washer lockouts...Just did it too. Seems like it may put extra stress on the C's...Well we will see if it holds up or not.

More that likely, but you never know what lurks in the "shadows"!

Well I mounted my Red Rocks and tested to see what kinda flex I was going to get. I was amazed of my findings. I know a few of you remember seeing a Pimp Cane Super being held up and twisted by hand in slow motion. Well I gave it a shot also. It's a crappy Vid but you can still see it. I also took some Flex shots and set it up on it's side with motors up.



each one of the white squares is an inch.
