this thing looks like it should be running in the Dakar!!

Didn't care for it early but WOW the new paint, wheels and tires really makes it POP. I like it a lot NOW!!! Great build.

That Hummer is just ridiculous! Amazing work!

thank you all very much for the comments... and jason man you take some awesome pics!!!

G-crawler · 02-18-2009, 04:23 AM

He sure does!! that photo is soo nice!

rbgerrish · 02-19-2009, 10:53 PM

That is the most badazzed CC for sure. Nice work! You could put a 4:1 in it for some lower gearing, but I'm sure you know that! ;)

kingcobra · 02-20-2009, 04:49 AM

I actually like the 65 turn with the stock gearing because it gives some killer wheelspeed to help it "hop" up and over stuff when needed... my only gripe is that on inclines the rig "rolls" too freely... no gearbox drag whatsoever :( but I hear that some ESC's have a programmable dragbrake... that would solve my problem if they actually work. I'm checking into it

if need be I'll add a mechanical dragbrake of some sort.

Castle Mamba Max! Best ESC you'll ever buy

hey this was a cool build so i used it as an avatar at beat your truck. com

hope you dont mind

rhett314 · 02-20-2009, 07:55 PM

Loved this thing from the beginning, and it just keeps getting better. Absolutely awesome.

Espeefan · 02-20-2009, 10:12 PM

Very cool! I was never much of a fan of the CC01 chassis, but what you have done with this one makes me re-think things. The Hummer looks great. Super realistic and sharp. I'm more inclined to imagine it tearing across a desert then climbing on the rocks, but it looks at home in either place.

Do those Proline lights have any provisions for making them functional?

intimadationrc · 03-15-2009, 02:40 AM

can i see a few under chassis shots?

i have 4 of these and just like your setup a lot and curious about a few things.

D-ran83 · 03-15-2009, 09:22 PM

Thats the one I saw it in..

Saw Jia pic from here in there.

I might have missed it cause I scanned through the replys, but what are your thoughts about the R/C Channel rear axle and front suspension? I have been thinking about the setup for my Pajero and hopefully a couple of future Wranglers, but I was unsure of the durability and performance. They look killer under yours by the way.

Knytemare · 03-22-2009, 07:47 PM

Congrats on your rig being in RCD - definitely deserve it!

500swmag · 03-22-2009, 09:08 PM
