☆ Homeless Hobbies "Dumpster Diver" TTC LUX build ☆

[AxialJeepster]

thanks to all!! and railripper, YEP those are your pitbulls hahaha"thumbsup":mrgreen:

I didnt want to unbolt mine when I had some right there LOL... thanks for that!

and this thing is VERY straight Dustin, I thnk it may be one of the best as far as evrything being mirrored, its real good, AND its solid too.

you should not EVER have any problems with the chassis bending, twisting or anything.:mrgreen:


turned out good guys thanks for all the kind words!

NOW, lets ship this back and keep this thread going!

monday it will go back to Dustin for further bad assification"thumbsup"

bad assification"thumbsup"

Word of the day folks! :ror:

 

[dont slow down]

Holy crap! That thing looks like a tank! You will definitely need the beefy drivetrain upgrade for this pig. It really looks great, everything looks very even and straight. I really like the exo front fenders, not too much but enough to be noticeable. Nice job! I'll have to come check this thing out when Dustin is finished with it.

Working out that drivetrain as I type! Your welcome anytime.. Just give me a shout and head over! I'm start to mark spots for my scale course here this weekend and hopefully get started on it within the next week or so.. Things have been CRAZY since I got here!:mrgreen:

 

[dont slow down]

I bet, moving is so hecktic. We are finally settled in after 6 months. Haha. Would love to get that course started, maybe if it stopped raining!

 

[Super]

Got a weight on that thing? What a tank!"thumbsup""thumbsup" Awesome job!

The base mattzilla chassis weighed in @ 1lb 1oz before anything was added, Sooooo I'm kinda thinking we're pushin 3+ LBS:shock:... but only Ryan can answer that at the moment.

 

[AxialJeepster]

yeah I havent weighed it yet but im thinking its 4+ as it sits with body. when done it will be one of those 8-10 pounders, the chassis are very heavy out the box, but super stout and easy to weld/build to"thumbsup"

not any scx chassis thats for sure:ror: its a BEAST...

its ok tho, my jeep weighs in at 10 pounds and I can hop it over rocks all day, recently it flew of a 10 foot drop straight down onto solid rock, not the soft kind, SOLID kind:mrgreen: and landed right on the front bumper ds corner and all it did was break a couple links from the force. crazy tuff!
(I was taking a picture while it was on an edge and hit the reverse trigger)

this should be no different! TUFF as nails

I like the way a heavier truck feels. I've got a Toyota I just built and there is no tube work. Hard body, No interior, Spare tire and a decent front bumper. 8lbs

Nice work, keep it up."thumbsup"

Bin O axles patiently awaiting greatness...
I'm sticking with the pitbull tires unless the rig is too heavy for them..

Motor picking fun! I'm throwing in this 27 turn epic with shiny new brushes!

and after much thought and not wanting to rip a used fxr out of one of my other rigs I have decided to give this rc4wd mayhen esc a try..

I have 7 more of these lol so when this one takes a chit from being run on 3s I can just throw another in! Has a 5v built in BEC so I kinda have some power headed to the cheapo 645 servo.. I could stack this sucker with 500 bucks in electrics but this is a HOMELESS build! Not a sponsored build! :shock:

​

 

[AxialJeepster]

no way man cant go wrong with cheapo as long as its 3s and has a drag brake I dont care.. this thing is gonna rock!!

ok people this thing is on its way back to its HOME destination to be finished, usps priority insured mail. stay tuned for updates!!

and man that body fits tight in there, if you push up on the bottom of the grill as you work the back of the body up also, it comes out without to much issue but be carefull as this ol YOTA cab has seen better days LOL"thumbsup"

sending you tracking now buddy!

Got this beauty bright and early this morning! I opened up the box, did a quick weigh in (3.09lbs) and jumped in the shower... well I came out side to find the truck on vacation...... WTF Ryan? what did you do to this thing.. It's claiming to be Jimmy Buffet's cousin...........

Post up on how that esc works I've been looking at them for a wile but I didn't know if they where worth buying. Looks good digging the flat bed.

hah, dude your funny:lmao:

thats just great, love the pic, looks like the ass end is missing tho. didnt fall off in shipping did it?? I was worried about that since its just mig welded steel, shoulda put fragile stickers all over it.. dooh.

hey, also wanted to say i re-inforced all the cracks in the body and fixed a few with shoo goo, stuff is super strong and you cant see it, mostly inside anyway but you should be ok now taking that body on and off. you see how tight it is. maybe should made it looser but it works"thumbsup"

 

[AxialJeepster]

oh I like the red"thumbsup"

Thanks man! I'll report back the esc asap.. I'm going to be running 3s on it so I'm sure we'll know whether or not it's any good fairly quick!
