Default Hustlin'

I had pretty much given up on my super, I had tried a few different things and had never been very happy with the results. I figured I would give it one last chance but as long as I was going to give it a chance it should be the best I could get, so......here's my new Hustler
Specs:
Hustler Chassis and links 17" wheel base
Traxxis big bore shocks
Clod axles
55t eagle racing motors, I will probably go brushless if I like it enough
Narrowed Big Joes on narrowed HPi wheels, I have 40 series Mashers on Proline beadlocks but I have to get the adapters first. The big joes are suprizingly good though.
Mamba Max esc
Hitec 5998 tg servos
behind the axle front steering
JR XS3 Radio
RC4wd knuckles




My two comp rigs, this thing is so low, my bug is pretty low but it makes it look tall.

It snowed yesterday so I don't have any action shots yet and all have done is living room crawling. It did climb the whole set of stairs from the basement, about 13. My other rigs haven't even come close.

It really does look great. I love the look of tubers. I have only built one TLT kit but I lost interest in 2.2's and ended up selling it in hopes of building a super. Now with 3 kids, wife, and very little time it is going to be rough but as soon as I snag a set of axles the build will be on!!

MAN that CF is awesome! I love CF on RC's!

Looks good. How do you like the all droop set up? What set up's did you run before?

You put your carbon fiber sticker on the roof panel crooked:-P

I had a rock bull II, not good at all and then I had a k2-3s laying around that was actually way better than my rockbull but still not amazing. I like the droop set up so far but I don't have anything but indoor crawling to go off of right now. The thing I like the most is when its articulating you are getting more clearance instead of less.
I thought I was picky, but yeah, the stickers are not quite straight.

I'm working on getting some outside shots, hopefully it warms up enough to melt some snow today.
