I may have to steal some ideas....

Might have to steel an idea or two for my first full build.

I'm just gonna try and steal the whole rig.;-)

Thanks people!

The Hybrid is 'resting' while Hera gets finished and th XR10 get's to play. She'll get a revamp/ round 2 build once those projects finish.

Did You keep track of Time and Cost for you to build this Rig? It looks great. "thumbsup"

Nope, but to replicate would be...expensive! Probably $1200+, but I'm too lazy to add it all up.

where did you get the Octura teflon skid tube??

We get it right from Octura I think, but I'm not sure. I'll look into it.

well i just scaned threw all 23 pages of this thread, and i can say this is one of the best ifs trucl/builds i have looked at. loven the fact that it will throw the mud plus crawl on the rocks then drive away. "thumbsup"

Thanks!!

Awsome build!

what scale is that traxxas slash?

Slash is 1/9 scale or therabouts.

Awesome shots!

Well I am brand new here...

But I have owned a few RC's only one crawler though. And this kind of build is exactly why I wanted to get back into the hobby recently. Way to go with a great build and down the road don't be surprised if you see something similar posted in the forum under my name ;-)

Thanks for the inspiration...lol

:shock: now thats one sick all purpose rig!!!
break anything new yet?

 

[rbgerrish]

Hi folks,

I've just gone through the Hybrid and fixed a couple things. I cleaned and painted everything, and installed a new shift servo to replace the failed traxxas one. I put in the new MIP Super Heavy Duty CVD's for the slash 4x4, and used the 6mm outputs to mate to the Revo spool in the front. I cant imagine these breaking, they are huge! I rebuilt the rear axle with stronger straight axles and a new housing, as well as new Aluminum lockouts. It's got a new Futaba 4ch 613FF tiny receiver, and new mud guard and windshield.

Some pics from the rebuild:

lights still work...Amazing!

All buttoned up and ready to go!

Thanks for looking!
