They weren't heavy, and I'm still prototyping.

Whew!!! I finnaly got everything finished today. I went down to the Rat Shack to pick up some 10k ohm resistors and a 3 position switch to mod my MX-3 for a 3 position 3rd channel to run my dig/freewheel/drive on the R2D tranny. See the red switch. It was a little scary at first but I got it done.(Thanks Jay!!) I got a 3 position switch that stays put so I can run it hands off in whatever mode I want. Also the TP945 I had in there burn up so I found a Hitec 645 in my shed outside and luckly it still worked so in it went. The tranny shifts very smoothly under load.
I had the wireing looking great but I had a glitch, a bad one. After I tore it all apart looking for it I found that the servo extension on the quark was shorting out. So I didn't bother to put everything back as nice as it was, who cares its not a tuber, the body will hide the mess. I also split up an 8 cell 2/3 a pack for the front axle. I drove it a little tonight, it works great. I'll get some video this week.

Looks good Jeff, but really where's all the custom stuff? Or is this just a temporary rig until your next custom creation is finished? I just can't see you running something with out a tube chassis.

what is the blue on the drive shafts.

That is the rubber boot that comes with the drive shafts. It protects them from grit, reducing wear.

Gee Sven........ I custom wire a pack, hot wire a radio, build a comp worthy truck in 5 hours............sorry I didn't have time to whip out something spectacular. I just wanted a dependable rig to whip some arse in next years point series.

I know, mine came that way, it must have been a defective unit.

Well, be it long as the wife don't be caring, then who cares right?





































Oh wait, she's got her own truck.

No problems so far, but I haven't thrashed on it yet, and that 6 oz outrunner is begging to eat.:lol:

I shot a few short clips and threw together a small video. I'm going down to the ATL to a comp this weekend to try it out on some good rocks. I give you the cottonmouth.

So how come you guys are running 8 cells? I would think less would be better...:?:

Are you going to get the strait axel set on your rig? I have mine on order, they are not necessary I guess but they sure are a nice option to having rear knuckles and turnbuckles.

Cause I'm running an outrunner and I like wheelspeed. Also more volts = more torque.

Yeah, whenever TCS gets them back in stock."thumbsup"
