Re: Buxom Melons: Now Class 2

How is the 10t pinion treating you? Get that low end you were looking for?

What did you end up putting in the project box? Clearly not the esc since its on top of it lol.

So far so good with the 10t... it's got more low end control but I was surprised by how much top end I lost with just 1 tooth smaller pinion. I'll leave it there for a while and see how she comps.

I just put the rx and bec in the box. "thumbsup"

You need lights and a winch! Plenty of room in that box for it. I know I've stuffed a receiver, bec, light controller and winch controller in mine!

Re: Buxom Melons: Now Class 2

I am having bad luck with lights man... I need to just buy a set and give up on trying to make my own... I'm sure by now I've spent more on lights then it would have cost me just to buy the Axial NVS.

Winch, yes Sir!

I'm starting to think Melons needs a transfer case!

Re: Buxom Melons: Now Class 2

I dropped the seats about an inch by replacing the Wraith interior/floor with some diamond plate tin I found.
The seats are still too high for Sam Fisher.
I need to cut down the center council part, I was thinking of using the fuzzy side of velcro for carpet. :mrgreen:

This will work for our upcoming TTC though, I think an Ewok and a Speeder Bike Stormtrooper witll be the current drivers.

Re: Buxom Melons: Now Class 2

The TTC is this Saturday and Buxom Melons is about ready.
I think I'm going to remove Melons windows all together and put in nets.
I don't think I'll have time to build a servo winch before Saturday... The HeyOk controller showed up yesterday and I have the spool but can't find servo mounting tabs I just got. :roll:

Other than that, Melons is ready to go. :twisted:

Re: Buxom Melons: Now Class 2

Very nice bug!

Thanks!

I need to Dremel out the new front axle housing for the Beef Tubes so I can get her back on the road!

I riped the truss from the housing during our TTC... guessing it started when I rolled down the hill climb (which Melons got 2nd in... Timmy got first) and the tug of war... which I got 2nd in and Timmy got first. :x

I'm also thinking of starting a new body... and have a silly surprise for my Wild Willy debut. :mrgreen:
