Thumbs up Sweet Micro Hybrid!

Looks Pretty Kewl! How much runtime do you have on it, tell us what you think of it? BTW, way to stay on the front lines.

Default I hate RC pics

I can never see any pics when people link there. I think it is b/c I don't have a membership but I've tried a few times and they rejected my registration!?!? wth?!

Ya, F-them. Use other sites to host pics I say.

im fairly impressed with the zilla in stock form but i wanted something different...its going to ba a scale look'er i have a 1/10th hummer body that fits absolutly perfect...i ver 5mm of tire out each side :-P

my main concern right now is the uni's they are soft plastic...there are a few places that sell them in the states but considering i got the 3rd zilla in aust parts availibility is not that great yet...tried it on some small rocks today...tis not to bad for its size and tires..
the rims are the same size as the pajero and hummer's so i might try and suss some of them out for more of a scale look..
as for run time its about 20 minutes or so out of a 1100.

when more time allows i will be making a less primitave front servo mount..and rear steering will be on the cards...i have my TQ3 with proportional steering front and rear. (2 wheels)


so till i get some stronger axles shes a no go for now..whell 3 wheel drive :-P

What??? I am not even going to begin to try and decipher what that is supposed to mean.

Anyway, its like a mini-maxx crawler. IFS clearance with 4 link suspension. Props for doing something different and taking on the challenge.

I'd see if you can get some deep offset wheels of some kind, like some touring car wheels and slap some taller rubber on. Maybe you could get some touring car wheels and rally tires. I'd be like mini-moabs on 40's

god nothing rubs me the wrong way more than some newb spitin crap about how his "super modified, custom do dad" will dominate over all other rock crawlers.

you know its not the car, its the driver. You could line an enzo aganist a pento but put my grandmother at the wheel of the enzo and a pro racer (or for that matter anyone) at then wheel of the pento and i can easily predict the winner of that match.

Same applies in rock crawling. I mean as long as the vehicles are close in performance then it all comes down to who can find the better line and who knows their vehicle better.

so guys please for all our sakes, unless you've actually crawled with the guy, dont go around talkin bout how you rig will walk all over any body.

rock crawling is alittle more abou the car i think because if it have no clearence and some tiny tires a 10 turn motor with a pro
and a modified clod with not that great but ok racer
the clod is probaly going to win

Cool MooseMaxx, dude, you get a "2 THUMBS UP" for the mod on this zilla... I have 2, and never thought about linkin them... Awsome, little long, and from experience w/ the zilla, i have to agree, needs to be wider, which is why i modded my zilla to look like this: http://www.one18th.com/forums/attach...achmentid=8411 http://www.one18th.com/forums/attach...achmentid=8412 http://www.one18th.com/forums/attach...achmentid=8409

but overall, Moose, Nice Zilla...ehehhe,
OH, and mine accepts any wheel, from stock maxx, to 26mm..... although the stock maxx, ehhhhh.... LMAO

Keep up good Modding.
