Harley, when you get that brushless combination in the truck can you post up your ESC setup please. I'm having a hard time getting my combo to to where I feel it should be. Most people i've showed the combo to agree it should be much much better with the ESC being at fault.

No problem, will do.

Hey Harley, how did you make that rear light bar? Looks sick!! Is it possible to buy one like that somewhere?

Amazing build for sure!

Thanks,
Mike

It's just made from sheet metal and brazed to the chassis. It's not something that is a standalone piece.

What did you use tocut out the holes? Looks too perfect to be hand cut....

Its all hand cut. Drilled two holes per light (forming the outside radii) then cut between them with a dremel and filed to fit.

Josh, I just got to say this. I think this should be your inspiration to a wrap for this truck.
Maybe something with DC Even.

Starting to do some work on this to see how I like it.

:mrgreen: We'll see how it moves this pig.

Even though I know the traction won't be nearly as good as the Ripsaws, I'm thinking about picking these up for the scale looks...

Not a big fan, the Ultra4 guys are usually using BFG Crawlers or the new Goodyear MTR's. That is the look I am going for most.

I just bought these.... I too am going for the similar look... Shannon Campbell's KOH buggy is the look I'm building towards.

I looked up some light requirements in the rules and regs for that race. I just couldn't figure out the rear lights and what they're used for"thumbsup"

Can't wait to see your finished product, truly a cool build!

I wonder why swampers aren't used more? I love my Iroks bias ply's on my 1:1, way more sticky on the rocks than my crawlers. Also a lot stonger sidewalls. I'm guessing because of the speeds they are going.

What DWGEditor software are you using? Did you find it as a free download or is it part of SolidWorks? I'm not too familiar with them obviously.
