Deathsycthe02's Rigs (Condensed)

[Deathsycthe02]

Hey guys, so new to the site, finally decided to join. Figured i would throw a couple of pictures up of my current rigs which i guess are "complete" but their never complete so i guess this will be a build/picture thread of my experiences and build with my scalers, Condensing my rigs into one build page, hopefully it doesn't get confusing!!

So first my Chevy scx 10
Started its life as a run down beaten honcho i got used.

Decided to get a Chevy body for it, sense ive have a Toyota for my daily driver. flexed out on my buddys dingo(Unimog above) i made him buy after having so much fun with mine

Here it is as it sits

Chevy Clod-buster body
3racing light unit and light bar
3racing winch
honcho front bumper/dingo rear with rpm mud flaps
ax10 shocks
Rc4wd XR4 receiver/remote
Integrity 35t motor
Rooster Crawler ESC
super swamper boggers, stock axial rims
hitec servo with metal arm
All aluminum links
weight rims, truck weights 7.5 pounds
probably more but im forgetting if your curious about something ask!

so my second truck, my girlfriend like driving my but always ended up crashing and braking it. so to solve the problem i put one together threw trades and extra parts over time and ended up with this. i told her if she breaks it she just has to pay for parts so she will take it easy, but it hasn't really worked ha.

Hummer radio shack body
rc4wd 45t motor
upgraded axial shocks
aluminum steering links
dual cry esc
stock axial receiver/remote 2.4
axial light unit
hitec servo metal steering arm

and my current build...... right now its just a roller
traded a slash 2wd roller for this scx 10 roller, so all the 2wd slash stuff is in it now(motor,esc,receiver)

so far ive add the jeep body, reconfigured the electronics add the wraith waterproof box, i like my stuff stock and clean looking thats why none of my rigs have the servos mount on the frame, i like the stock battery trays. when i got the truck the frame was painted orange:roll: so i repainted it black, then the wheel base was extended to 14+ so i shrunk it which also involve in cutting down the mip drive shafts and re welding them(the guy before me extended them) so i did that. and i also got all the stuff to put the battery tray back in the front 8)
......so i have the motor and the tranny, their just not installed, im waiting on a bunch of parts for all my rigs, the trannys mount holes where stripped out by previous owner so one i get all my parts this rig should be ready to crawl and test out. i want to lower it also sits to high.
Jeep scx 10
Traxxas 12t 550
Traxxas XL5
Traxxas Am receiver/remote(might upgrade to FM will see)
MIP drive-lines
Aluminum links
ax 10 shocks
custom electronics config
hitec servo metal steering arm
all metal gears in the tranny

hey man! you made it! trucks are looking good! im stoked to see how the jeep is going to end up!

and i have a question.. did you just use the controller for the winch or did you connect it to a 3rd channel? your transmitter is set up for one though right?
im thinking about getting one but i run my summit transmitter and am trying to figure out if it will work with my hi/low switch..
i just sold a few of my summit parts and im trying to decide what my truck needs..

thanks man, its defiantly going to be my bashing rig, and im hoping to get some good wheel speed out of it...

and for the controller question
you have to use the controller for the winch, thats were the power connection is, also a lead to go to your receiver as well as a switch to operate the winch with. im not sure if your summit transmitter has 3 positions switches, but yes the RC 4wd xr4 remote/receiver i have, have 2x 3position switches, so its a 4channel remote. The switch can be in 3 positions. so my winch is hooked up to my remote so i can operate it wireless. if you want me to make a demo video i can.

thanks man, i think i understand... if i decide id like a video ill ask... did you see the pics of my new armor?

... i think you will like it over here... theres a lot more action on this forum, and waaaayyyy more action in the classifieds..

Well did some Body Work to my Hilux and got it painted! I relocated the mirrors, removed the wing window and removed the lower bolt holes. Cant wait to get it together tomorrow!!

 

[Deathsycthe02]

Well Got the Body all mounted up and pretty much together still working on the interior. Ended up taking the 1.9 boggers off the chevy and mounting the on the toyota. I really like the 1.9 boggers under the hilux body, and the chevy would look really awesome with some 2.2 swampers or iroks. Probably going to ended up swapping the 1.9 boggers back to the chevy. Swap The 1.5 tsl swampers on the Hilux off the hummer and the hummer will get some 1.9 flat irons.!!!!!??????????!?!?!?!?!?! Also need to get a proline bed box for the hilux!
