|  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: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/  My Ghetto' paint booth: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/  Spick-n'-Span: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/  oooooooooooooooH: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/  HERBIE!!!!!! http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/  Last edited by pabloj; 03-11-2007 at 10:55 PM. |

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. Last edited by TerribleOne; 03-12-2007 at 02:22 PM. |

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. |

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? |

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!!!!  |
