[ScaleDustin]

OK FOLKS WE ARE @ ROLLER STATUS!

​

 

[ScaleDustin]

Just kidding guys! The powder coat guys gave me the run around today so I figured.. what the hell... I'll paint this bum next time I have it apart!

Thumbs up to Rockdrifter "thumbsup" for giving me a SUPER deal on the above mini buggy chassis.. Stay tuned for a rework of that bad boy!

On to the good stuff!

Let me know what you guys think!

These 3 pics are dedicated to Lue @ Mattzilla RC Works who happens to believe that if your R/C truck can't at least fit a full set of 2.2 tires and wheels then you should kill it with fire and throw it in the trash...lol

Lue can keep building what lue builds! Those pits look perfect on there. Maybe drop the ride height by a 1/4"? LOVE the dark red!8)"thumbsup"8)

I'm currently looking for a set of used 90mm shocks.. It would definitely make the truck look way more scale if it was lower. I have 40 sets of shocks laying around here but not 1 used set that is less than 100mm lol I'm serious about keeping this thing trashy..;-)

 

[AxialJeepster]

well just run the big bores with internal springs and half droop"thumbsup"

those are some of the smoothest shocks made and have good trasvel.. man that baby has some flex..or "Articulation" for those who care.


looking really good!!

something about those 2.2 wheels just make me go YUK.. they look killer on the rc4wd crawler they come on rtr, but not on a scaler i guess.. those tires tho, love them!

 

[dont slow down]

I've got a set of 90mm shock shafts for the Ultimate scale shocks. You could swap them out of a longer set.

OK so I pulled her apart this morn and gave her a coat of high temp flat black and baked it on @ 450 for 3 hours....:evil: It worked for my shotgun!

Turned out good!

I want to add some sort of interior to the rig eventually so I dont want to pile my electronics up into the cab.

After tinkering for awhile I came up with this.. simple solution to mount my esc and rx.. I'll be mounting the battery up right over the MZ plate.

Started getting some links together to change the drive angles.. I was getting alot of binding so I figure'd I'l lengthen the WB a tad and give the axles some tilt and see if that helps... I threw some plastic 4 link trusses on , shaved the old plastic mounts and bolted in some CVD's also,

This is where I'm leaving it for the night.. The rear is a bit stretched i believe.. but I like it.

Oh and check this... I'm ordering shirts for a few guys "homeless hobbies" is sponsoring and they sent me one as a proof.. whatcha think?

I'm trying to come up with a clever funny about the shirt picture, but I'll settle for "thumbsup"!!!!!!!!! The chassis looks good baked and the links look beefy! Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing with the "X" in the picture?

Those are BWD Delrin uppers from my XR10... Gave me just the angle I needed and look sweet doing it!

 

[ScaleDustin]

My stance on the issue has officially changed. Full droop ax10 shocks.

I like it!

[Hoosierdady]

nice GIF, love it. Oh and the trucks pretty sweet too.

 

[dont slow down]

Looks great man! You order those shirts from a local company? I got a buddy that works as a graphic designer for a company here in CW but don't know the name of it.

Hey thanks bud! I ordered them from a website called ooshirts.com I'm not as impressed with them as I hoped I would be.. But they are super inexpensive when you buy 20.. so I cant complain.

I've been meaning to get with you about this course I'm procrastinating about.. but this month has been slow in sales and I've been busting my a33 every which way to try and hold down the fort...

I just need to get this dumpster **** buttoned up and we'll gtg and do some scale'n"thumbsup"

 

[dont slow down]
