Herbie
 

Well...new to the scene...I'm taking a swing at my first build. I can't seem to get parts here soon enough...everyone seems to be out of arbitrary pieces, and I'm having to scramble for parts all over. Here's my list...
Pimp Cane 12.5" Chassis
Axiom V10 65T Motors (1 week out)
Tower MG-995 Servos
2K Masher Tires
RC4wd Alum Beadlocks
Clod Axles (week and a half out)
CVD Shafts (Coming w/Axles)
Thundertech BTA Agressor Stering on both Axles
Mamba Max ESC (can't find one in stock anywhere!!!!)
TQ3
Airsoft BB's

As of now....the body is trimmed, painted, semi-decaled, and is awaiting it's final decals. W/out more parts, I'm somewhat at a stand still. I'll put tires/wheels together next. Here are some progress pictures for your Eye Candy enjoyment, I'll post more as HERBIE comes along:

So many parts...no-where to go:

i love herbie but your pics dont show, and as for the mamba, go to http://holmeshobbies.com/home.php they got emm.

Thanx for the patience guys...That's better

that looks sweet

The 25 is different than the Max...yes/no?

I tried a cheap Decal Shareware program to do the "53" badges on the sices and hood but....it sucked so...I'll have to fnd another avenue.:flipoff:

Yes, the 25 is different from the Max. The Max will handle both brushed and brushless plus it will handle the bigger motors a lot easier than the 25.

Clod in the TLT section? Looks like a nice Herbie body, I used to have one......

Body looks good. My only input would be that with clod axles and those rc4wd wheels you are going to be really wide. With the cvds even wider so you may not be legal for comps.

Just noticed you said 4ws so nevermind, I guess you dont mind about comps.

Got it. "thumbsup"

good start on the love bug.:mrgreen:

I like maple syrup

The Mamba Max will run two brushed motors very nicely.
You will need 2 Mamba Maxs or 2 Mamba 25s to run two brushless motors though.

Herbie looks good so far.

I almost painted my Bug that way. Looks cool. I thought I was a dork for thinking about it. Guess I'm not the only dork on the site."thumbsup"

Nope, because I was about to paint my last body the same way "thumbsup"

Yeah...the Herbie thing came to me from no-where but...eh, it seemed fitting. Besides...Herbie conquered all!!!
No comps for us...just a bitchin toy!!!.
Hey, on a side note...I started this thread in the 2.2 section...how come it got moved here?

probably because it is 2.2 "thumbsup"

My bad...it was in the Tech/TLT section, but now I see it's not.....cool. Update: Axles should be here next week w/the CV axles!!!!....still searching for an ESC....the Mamba Max, can only find the 25's. Axiom should have motors ready to ship here in a few days too. Then...it's nuts n' bolts time. Aseembly GALORE!!!. CAN'T WAIT!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol:

I would say because it was in the 2.2 scale section and it is not going to be scale by any means?
