Wisconsin rigs

With all the snow and the scalers tucked away for winter, it was only a matter of time before "snowcat fever" hit again. I got the new Kyosho SR last year and modded the hell out of it, basically gutting the drivetrain and bumping it up from dual 380 motors to a single 540 sized brushless system. WAAAAY more fun! But I never really liked the SR body compared to the older versions that are almost impossible to find. After some digging around the web, I found Team Blue Groove makes a repro DX body. No decals or plastic detail pieces, but I can work around that. I should be able to use some SR body details like rails and mirrors, along with a pile of other scaler goodies. This might be a good rig to use the flashing police lightbar and an assortment of led's and buckets I've collected. Kind of a "snow scaler" I guess. This body is on it's way. The painted one is just their demo picture.

With a Castle 5700kV motor on 3S, it's pretty fast! The skidsteer style steering system makes it a little touchy to handle, but flinging snow and cruising across drifts never gets old :mrgreen:.

Getting further on the GF truck....

Any other pert's and deet's you'd care to share on this ride?
(batts, motor, gearing, etc..... )

Are them 2.2s, or just really tall 1.9s?

I got myself a new RC4WD Warn winch comin for the new rig..

 

[corporatelemon]

Mine drifts after letting go of the wireless controller. Emailed rc4wd and they said that happens Because of the small gears and motor!!! Yet my bulldog winch didn't? Oh well I still like it

 

[Super]

Drifts when there is tension on it or drifts in general? I'm gonna try and use it without the controller. We'll see how that works out.

 

[corporatelemon]

When there is tension on a slope but then some times it doesn't!?!

'Dawg style TF2 2nd try

Ok, so here we go again :mrgreen:. A fresh body to work with after pounding the piss out of the first one. The body came with new windows, lenses, bumper, dash, grill and detail parts (not pictured). A nice rollbar, some scale goodness and more parts coming. 1.55 Pitbull Growlers, Big Boss fender flares and hopefully HD diff gears. Here's a few pics to start with:

Ok, here is the kids new lid.









And here is my panel truck with something else I'm working on.

 

[TrailDawg362]

I KNEW you were up to something! The kid's rig looks good in green and and his "cheater tires" really give a mean look "thumbsup".

The panel truck looks awesome as always, and the trailer is a great touch. Dammit Super, stop raising the bar! :lmao:
