|  I got bored again...
So, I have had this old TCS Gopher chassis laying around for a few years, and since switching the comp rig over to Axial axles, I have this fairly bullet proof set of tlt's laying on the shelf....hmmm, what to do?! ROCK RACER!! I'll start posting pictures as I build it. Ingredients: 1 TCS Gopher Chassis w/RED powdercoat 1 pair built tlt axles w/MIP CVDS, Fat Rocks C's and RCP rear lockouts 1 Summit 2-speed tranny 1 Mamba Max 1 Mag Mayem Motor (22T i think) 1 HS-7980TH 1 HS-?? I'll figure out what to use for the shifter later...servo's? ya, I got some... wheels/Tires? Not sure yet have a few choices. Probably grooved flat irons on VP's. Traxxas Big Bores 70/30 droop/sprung w/40wt oil to start. Radio? duh, hitech. Custom links and revo rod ends. MIP Drive shafts ....more when I figure out what I am missing!! |

Ok, since it only took about an hour and a half to build, I skipped the build pictures, but if you have questions, ask!! Wound up going with a straight pede tranny I had laying around, 86t spur, 16t pinion at the moment on a 27t trinity handwound. On a 2S it's fast, and wheelies and endo's at will. On 3S, it's stupid, and I am gonna break something in a hurry. Wheels are temporary, gonna put a lighter setup with 1.9's here soon, probably rockloks or flatirons on proline titus beadlocks, we'll see. Pics:   |

Oh, keep in mind I literally pieced this together from misc scrap I had from other builds and what not. It's a fun basher, we'll see how long it stays together!! lol

Red X's man EDIT: now I see them. Always hated that chassis, good one to go beat the crap out of though. How are things going in Vegas by the way. Miss the Bay area? Last edited by rckjeep; 09-02-2010 at 12:54 PM. |
