Looks awesome Haastnooit! What is your weight sitting at?

-Kyle ~ XLR

 

[Haastnooit]

Thanks Kyle "thumbsup" Weight as in the pictures is 1565 grams, it is still without motors and other electronics (ESC's/bec/RX).

 

[Haastnooit]

I think she is going to come in a bit heavy to "nowaday standards" :roll: If I add the motors (+388g), electronics (+60g or more), lipo (+76g) and some panels she will be just over 2100g (4.6 lbs).




[edit] I don't know so I ask the question to all of you: From what weight down a rig is considered to be lightweight ?

 

[XLR]

I don't think there is a set standard for weight classes but here is what I think the current standards should be"thumbsup":

Featherweight: 3.5-3.99 pounds
Lightweight: 4-4.49 pounds
Welterweight: 4.5-4.99 pounds
Middleweight: 5-5.49 pounds
Light Heavyweight: 5.5-5.99 pounds
Heavyweight: 6+ pounds

 

[Haastnooit]

Mmmmh ... I think you just nailed it with that list :mrgreen: It should be the official ... I like it "thumbsup" So I guess there will be dieting after finishing the build and driving "heavy" for a while ...

 

[Tomy]

Wow, Ronald! Your build is coming along nicely.

 

[Haastnooit]

Thanks Tomy ... but it looks like I am stalling now :mrgreen: It always takes me some time to build up some confidence when trying something new like decasing and shrinking my electronics .... guess next update will be bodypanels ;-)

 

[Haastnooit]

So me trying to decase is no problem, but shrinking and soldering everything together nice and tight was not a good plan ... I almost blew it all :roll: While I work on my panels someone else is going to take care of my electrical issue's :twisted:

Next update will be a finished rig "thumbsup"

 

[BuckImod]

Can't wait to see it all finished up! You've got a really clean looking build going on here!"thumbsup" Nice Job!

 

[Haastnooit]

Thanks ... but don't expect too much, I am going to use spraycans on the panels "thumbsup"

 

[Haastnooit]

Dang ..... waiting sucks :twisted: My bodypanels are ready but my electonics haven't even made it to Battman yet .... and they have to be shipped back as well ...

I think I will get some pics of the bodypanels and show them already ... :mrgreen:

 

[Haastnooit]

Sneakpeak of the bodypanels ....

For sidepanels I am going to use the CF panels of the SA3.5 chassis kit. I am quite pleased with the result, I think it looks nice and clean.

 

[Airmicro]

One Phat carbon dream! Super nice.

 

[DRCrawlGood]

Love the panels! "thumbsup" One of the nicest builds to date.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

What a great looking rig! Those body panels are nice, the pattern really sets it off.

 

[BuckImod]

Just leave it as is on the shelf, Ronald.

This thing is too beautiful to take out on the rocks.

 

[Haastnooit]

Thanks everyone "thumbsup" Yes I agree Tomi, it would look nice on the shelf ... crawlers are pure Tech-art nowadays .... However it might look even better on the rocks :twisted: For sure first big hits and scratches will hurt a bit, but eventually build character :mrgreen:

Scratches only hurt for a second. Great character builders, though!! Btw truck looks great. I added a few pics to my thread also, with some character bulding scratches!!!"thumbsup""thumbsup"
