|  The Hummer plays trials rig at night.....(56K warning)
Well... since the backyard crawling area was too small to actually go crawling on with the other trucks, I turned it into a trials course. It still needs work, course/track and Hummer but all in all, it a ton of fun to go around all the bumps, logs, bridges and rocks.               |

Kickass! Looks great! I'm just sitting here waiting for my steering arm to come in from Hong Kong, and then I'm going to make a trials type course. Unfortunatly the arm wont be here in time for the Green River comp  |

looks good. Is it just me or did you throw dirt/mud on the body? Not sure how it'd get mud on the windows like that. Looks like it could use some cut BFGs from the Pre-Runner kits. |

The mud on the inside was from the other night. It was raining and the track/course was quite sloppy. I soon found out that the chassis needs some mud/water protection to keep the crap from loading up on the inside of the tub chassis. I can't seem to find a cover for it although I know Tamiya has offered it as I've seen it before. Just can't locate one and it's not in my manual either. From the other night:   | |

None. It had the MSC but I pulled it and dropped in a Super Rooster and Integy 55-turn for now. I plan to get a cheaper forward/reverse ESC for it as I really can't see trashing the SR in this rig. This thing will get abused just like my other trucks  I just need to track down a decent/cheap ESC to put into it. Anyone have any good options I should consider? Looking to spend less than $50, needs to be 4-7 cell rated, 16'ish mod motor limit and forward/reverse capable...water proof would be nice but not needed. Ideas? | |

One that covers the whole chassis. I have seen them on the Hummer/S-10 Tamiya trucks before but am having a hell of a time tracking down a part number. | |

I have a RV15, and yes it is water proof. But I am not impressed with the ammount of juice it sends for reverse. Doesn't seem to have that much power in reverse. Im running 3000's, 55t in a stampede thats locked. Geared as low as I can with pinion and spur. Jeff |

Looks like a lot of fun. I've been thinking of doing something similar when the ground thaws.

| stock treads???
thats a crazy track and truck.....but are you gonna trim the treads?? i trimed mine on an f150 and it works alot better... i also drilled holes in the arm closer to the diff (for the shock to go) and put on longer ballends. it rasies the truck almost 1/2 an inch... just my 2 cents...good luck with it Chaos |
