Thanks crunky I take pride in my builds, I also take them slow and enjoy the build. Quote:
Thanks EeePee In the past I have built most of my rigs in stock form, then later started to mod them. But on this build, I wanted to do as many tweaks that I could find while I built it. I have always liked to have a well documented build thread for all of my rc cars and trucks. And a very methodical procedure in doing so. Also taking many pictures along the way. Quote:
Thanks Vipxj The reason why I haven't put the grill on yet is because I haven't decided if I want to paint black or leave it stock silver. After today I decided on leaving it stock silver for a classic look. | |||

That location looks pretty cool. Did they just dump excess concrete over the rocks there?

Is this the regular silver can that's overheating the TEU?

its loading the motor up by trying to go over obstacles or full throttle for long periods of time. that causes tge teu esc to overheat Last edited by iwantoffroad; 12-27-2008 at 07:40 PM. |
