DTP's S-Dub ver2.1 (new pics on page 4)
 

Here it is! Not quite done yet but very close. Still gotta glue on rock rings, mount elec., make drive shafts, & tune the susp.

I had this Power Wagon for my Maxx crawler sitting around, so as little form of flattery, I put it on this. Too bad it had to lose mostly all it's fenders, cuz it looked good w/them.

I decided to go w/ a 60/40 set-up, w/the skid slightly slanted forward.

Here it is, enjoy :mrgreen:

Holy freakin' sweet batman! nice work, it looks great. Is that front servo mount a battery tray also?:mrgreen:

Thanks, it sure is. Got the idea from 4RunnerRick, thanks Rick!

sweet rig are those links included with th chassis and does it come with link mouts and sevo mount??

You beat me to it!!! I am building almost the same damn thing!!:flipoff: I have the body, the TLT kit, sliders , ESC, link material, wheels and tires. I hope to get benders chassis next week along with the trans and motor. Then assemble it. I guess I have to paint mine a different color . :lol: Looks good!!

Sweet rig. what rims are those. who makes them. Also are those blue aluminum knuckles or plastic. thanks

Very nice front servo mount as well. Great job.

Man that is really kick A$$. Any interest in sellin me one of thoes battery trays/servo mounts.

Thanks all, this really is a sweet chassis, all credit should go to Bender. :flipoff:

hansom- I got just the chassis from him. Made the links & servo/link mount myself, although he does sell them.

jedrattle- :mrgreen: I had this body for my maxx that I harly use now that I have my Stick, so I just threw it on.

Xtreme RC- rims are HPI Spikes, yes AL knuckles from GPM.

95MoYj- Hope it kicks a$$ too. As for selling the servo mount, I don't want to sound like I don't want to help, but I also don't want to ruffle any feathers cuz I don't have a blue star at the moment. I have a few ideas that I think PPL might like, but nothing will happen untill after January. Maybe, I can help you make it yourself. I'll try to draw it & send you a pic or something. :mrgreen:

Man that would be sweet. No prob on the whole not wanting to ruffle any feathers I understand. I have this huge rock outside that i think i can get up if i only had the battery mounted on the front axle. Great build buy the way.

shaggin in da waggin
 

Looks good man!

i guess i gotta get one now too!!!LOL
whats up with the SPIKES?(hpi)
NAH JK!!! LOOKS perfect!

Took it out on the rocks today.

All I can say is....................

Nice work DTP!!

I like the battery placement, your rig must climb great with that set-up.

Aw man, this thing is FAWKIN awsome. I origanally thought that it was too narrow @ 9 1/2" but it really helped having a narrower track. Chrome Dome was 10 1/2"-11" w/Ofna rims & really stable, but I think this is just as stable & fit narrow passages & side hills pretty well. To say I was surprised is an understatement.

More pics.......

Nice work DTP, I always like the bling myself too, especially when it is as functional as yours!! Those rocks your on look like chopped up peices of cement... Am I correct? Looks familiar to what I have close to home.

PS: I might have to try that battery mount, looks nice, props to 4rnrRick :)

Yeah, Rick. I don't know why either, it works like a champ! Nice, small 8-cell pack, low & on the front axle like that. No axle twist at all.

NLUV- Thanks. It's actually coral rocks.
