Great lookin rig! Looking forward to seeing it in person one day

What I can't figure out is why Pinch says 14" wb sucks and you say it's great?

...must be the Bender chassis ;)

Thanks Gimbal, I think it's the perfect size. The body fits perfect from front to rear protecting the battery and Esc and climbs just like a TLT. Of course the chassis helps out some

but the builder has to have some sick skills also

So is the Old School class dead in Utah? I heard rumors...

If so I say f'm! I'm still working on mine. Grizz sez he'll finish one too.

Griz me and Sparky. Sounds like a class to me. A LOT of class

Limited to 14 inches? Or was it 14 1/2?

DirkDigler · 12-14-2005, 04:04 PM

We'll see. There really are not set rules yet, as there is no official class......yet
I stretched mine to 14.75 last night.

Sparky J · 12-28-2005, 11:24 PM

Well I"ve been playing around with some different gearing options for the pede and have changed over to 64 Pitch. I was kinda schetchy on the strenth but have not had one single gear strip out as of yet. As of now I'm sold on the 120t spur and 16t pinion. I did have to shave the max yokes down a little to clear but overall em very happy with it. Also I changed out the springs too the red traxis to soften it a little more cause it's so lite.

Maybe you should wear traxxas red springs on your feet cause you are light in your loafers as well.

YEP, got mt txt in the mail today, sold my clod Unlmtd, so now, the build is on! Bender is sending me a chassis and I already have the pede trans and maxx shafts, now to make links, steering arms, electronics and oh yeah, figure out which disco'd body to run.

who makes that 120t spur gear and how much and do you have to do any mods to get it to fit

I'm perdy shur it was a Duratrax spur and a Robinson Racing pinion. I did have to shave the yoke down a bit and the cross pin that holds it on. So far so good, have'nt stripped it out yet.
