well same chassis now for two years... i think i'm learning how to drive it!
here's a little proof of how well the BMV2 really works! this is over all so far this year...

scuzzy51 · 05-10-2008, 06:22 PM

picked up a new lid for montana! got it all painted up and ready to go!

Tanis · 05-10-2008, 06:29 PM

That looks much better Dustin

scuzzy51 · 05-10-2008, 06:31 PM

what was wrong with the 5 dollar duratrax body?

Nova's Ark · 05-10-2008, 10:11 PM

It looks very nice. Do you have any body off shots? It obvious you have changed some things since you first built it.

You don't really need me to go into detail do you.....

Looking to forward to testing my new truck against your tried and true BlueMeanie soon.

scuzzy51 · 05-11-2008, 03:31 PM

another new chassis? oh ya the GC-2 right... screw that link and shock stuff! its way to heavy!

Tanis · 05-11-2008, 03:56 PM

Ya, it is kinda heavy isn't it

......you should see what this GC2 will do, it's just stupid

and I have been able to take several oz's out of the wheels with no compromises as well

Is that your scaler in your avatar? Nice!!

scuzzy51 · 05-11-2008, 04:08 PM

maybe when i can afford to build another car, i'll build one with links..

or maybe i might come across a good deal on one.. but its gonna be hard to pull me away from this thing..

Tanis · 05-11-2008, 04:13 PM

How's that saying go.....If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That truck works great for you, you can make it do just what you want....I wouldn't change.

scuzzy51 · 05-12-2008, 05:55 PM

there's always room for improvement!

scuzzy51 · 06-06-2008, 10:04 PM

finally got my DX3R! and WOW what a difference compared to my old club! so much lighter, and so much smoother! i also picked up a set of panthers. i'll have to say that there as good as people say they are! no side hilling issues like people said! they hook up awesome on wet rock! cant wait to try them at broken dam this weekend! but anyways i put them on a set of axial beadlocks i had sitting on my bench.. but i had to get rid of the green first! alright on to the pics..

oh and the drag brake on the Tekin FXR is by far the best i've ever seen! this alot steeper then it looks and it stoped dead in its track everytime i let off!

Tanis · 06-06-2008, 10:18 PM

Awwww crap, we're all screwed now, Dustin has a good radio:-P

my quark does that. set to outrunner mode and 0% drag brake. trigger neutral is 100% stopped no matter what. i tried a bmv2, a year or more ago, didnt like it much but i think a dampened torsion setup like some ive seen here on RCC would probably work pretty well.

scuzzy51 · 06-06-2008, 10:37 PM

well mine works pretty well... got me an invite to nationals...

rbgerrish · 06-06-2008, 11:30 PM

BMV's take some getting used to, but I cant say I've seen anything work better when piloted by a familiar driver. Great work so far Scuzzy, and nice new Transmitter!

special agent · 11-19-2008, 01:49 PM

looking good with the new lid...got any new topless pics

dieselfuel · 11-19-2008, 08:11 PM

i love the simplicity of torsion rigs. i've thought of doing something similar for my berg.

scuzzy51 · 11-20-2008, 11:08 AM

actually this car is completely torn apart now! still have the chassis and axles but everything else went into my to comp car.. thank you axial!!!
