Default baloo version 2.0

well it just dawned on me that I haven't posted up the updates to baloo since he was first built. take note to the avatar picture.

baloo now sports a hitec 5645, quark 33/park 400 combo w/ 14/87 gearing, and is now powered by an 8cell ib 1400 pack for that little extra punch. I also have a dig system that needs a little tweaking so I'll post that later, anways here are the pics enjoy.

What bug body is that? Is that one of those sand scorcher repros? Looks good. I'm also curious to know if you have any problems running that servo with the Quark. Both my 645 and my 5645 seemed to be lacking when hooked up to either my Mamba-25 or my Quark 33.

nope, no cvd's here. just took the dremel to the axle housings, steering knuckles, and stub axles.
