What about the name of the thread makes you think ramjet?
Speaking of the "motor"...
I picked up a MONOGRAM 1/8 SCALE motor off ebay to use as a base. It is an 80's crossfire injection motor and not a LS based motor but I couldn't source a LS motor in this scale. I plan to use this as a base to model a LS-ish mill and want squeeze it up front. I'll attempt to make some headers and such.

I'm sure it will be fun.
I'll have a chassis update tonight. I've almost got all the joints TIG'd but still need to do the clean up on them. I would really like to make some mock up links tonight but we'll see. I've got to go do some MTB'ing with some coworkers in the morning and should probably be rested :ror:
Really don't know why the ls in Harleys title made me think ramjet.
Both ls1 and ramjet produce about 350hp. Ramjet makes a little more tourge. Both are common crate motors in rock crawlers. Both may be considered under pwerd in these new age rock bouncers. Both can produce well over 350 HP
Specialty if money is no issue. But here we get into rat motors that put out big numbers

I was just wondering because a ramjet in not a LS motor. "thumbsup"
I have welded all the joints that I think need it at this point. To make everything as smooth as possible I added body filler to everything and then I will sand the whole chassis by hand. I will get to that tomorrow.

Harley, what program do you use for your logo/graphic work?
I use a ton of different programs. The logo on the front page I did by drawing the rock bouncer in CAD. Then converted that over to Illustrator and went over to Freq E Tags house and did the colorizing and text. He's a master at Illustrator, I can work my way through it but he is FAST.
Some of my other work is done in various Mac software packages for convenience.
Not really sure why you're so worried about what ESC to use, all you really need for an ESC in a rockbouncer is a 3 way toggle switch and a small servo to switch it.

It sure brings a smile to my face when I run "Show"... :twisted:
As far as tires go, I am liking my r35 ripsaws and r35 BFG KRAWLERS quite well. I think Ripsaws are more consistent when wheel speed is applied though."thumbsup"

The chassis is cleaned up completely. Going to throw a coat of primer on it tonight to protect it from rust. Any tabs or whatnot that need added later I will sand the areas and repaint.
Primer is drying.

Looks awesome! Did you get a weight on it yet or did I miss that?
