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

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

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 12-10-2005, 07:50 PM

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

hansom · 12-10-2005, 08:30 PM

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

jedrattle · 12-10-2005, 09:41 PM

You beat me to it!!! I am building almost the same damn thing!!

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 .

Looks good!!

Xtreme RC · 12-10-2005, 09:50 PM

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.

95MoYj · 12-10-2005, 09:51 PM

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

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 12-10-2005, 10:14 PM

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

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

jedrattle-

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.

95MoYj · 12-11-2005, 12:22 AM

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.

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-11-2005, 12:24 AM

Looks good man!

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

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

.........WOW

Pics coming soon

Nice work DTP!!

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

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 12-11-2005, 11:11 PM

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.

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 12-11-2005, 11:15 PM

More pics.......

MILLER TIME!!

Enjoy

Your welcome, I'm glad I could inspire someone - I'm actually surprised more people haven't used the idea..

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

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 12-12-2005, 08:04 PM

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.
