Default another update

Well just like I said I will turn her into 4 steer once I get my TQ3. Here she is:

modded tq3


4 wheel steer


I also shaved the portion on the axle for more steering clearance


Once I gained more steering, I noticed the tires are rubbing against the shocks and lower links at full lock. I don't wanna spend $30 for wideners (still waiting for my ofna wheels anyway). So I moved the lower links and shocks towards the center.


That solved the problem and I'm happy for now. Now for some more poser shots w/ my new project.

Looks really good. Did you shave the cups on the stub axles or just the plastic on the axles?

looks sweet dude I dont know which body I like better though, the white one looks real good in that last shot, but I am a huge fan of couriers.

How long does the 1900 battery last with the Lathe? I've been thinking of running that set up too. That looks great!!

Just the plastic on the axles.

It came with the TLT when I bought it in ebay. I believe its Proline F-150 for rustler. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDW78&P=0

They last a while. I think it's the life longetivity of NICad bat is what worrying me. I'm gonna change to NIMH as soon as I get my charger.

Default first day out!

It's nice outside and took her out. pics are taken from camera phone.






sorry bout the finger...


it's a blast. the wheels keeps on getting wedge in between rocks. The motor has a lot of torque that I thought I'm going to break the yokes. SW2 performed very well. I need to put some weights in the tires. That will be the next mod.

Yeah, I'm surprised myself how clear the pics are. It's taken from motorola E815 at high resolution.
