Lets try one just for you. in this thread we will post what we think needs to be done to a rig in order. You then and tell us how ignorant we are and how you would do it cheaper and better. Hows that?


I will do my Mog.
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/1-9-scale-rigs/359408-neils-unimog-redux.html

What I put in it and did to it…

- New SCX10 Chassis
- Rocksolo 2 piece cage brazed to be a one piece
- SCX10 Axles from my Taco, Aluminum Chubs and Knuckles, Toobs and overdrive in the front. Stock Rear
- SCX10 Tranny from my Taco, all Robinson's with 48P spur
- HH 30T Torquemaster
- FXR with 4S mod
- Futaba R2104GF Receiver
- Underdrive gears for the rear
- Highland Crawlers front and rear Lockers
- Hands Brothers CMS kit
- 1.9 RC4WD Pro 10 Wheels with spare
- 1.9 RC4WD IRoks with spare
- RC4WD Billet Wheel Hubs
- New Tamiya Body set
- Custom 4 link rear on a Dinky Truss
- Custom 3 link front with a pan hard bar
- Pro-Line Power Stroke shocks
- 3Racing winch with Heyok controller
- Hitec HS7655TH
- CCBec 10A
- Integy Disk Rotors Front
- Team3Six Fire Extinguisher and Air Tank
- HiLift jack from TSS
- Welder and compressor
- All home made links - threaded rod with Delrin sleeves.
- Brazed Shock hoops
- Brazed Which Mount with mini stinger.

Came our very nice and ran great. Not a $2K rig at all. few are. but even those take a stupendous amount of planning and building but will outlast your entire truck.

So let me get this straight...you want me to be like you guys and tell you youre stupid or wrong in your decisions on how YOU wanted to build YOUR truck...How about this..Shove your truck up your ass sideways and pull the trigger to full throttle."thumbsup"
 
But if you want my honest opinion again...You did nothing but the same run of the mill bolt ons or chose to omit other things you've done to it...don't see any tech in it really..fabrication is a dime a dozen...Wheres the tech in the build???..I see a lot of parts but nothing to really change performance other than that..Nice thread..I didn't prescribe to it when I looked at it the first time and still wont...So now everyone can call me troll because I dissed a mans build.
First time for everything I suppose.

Id run my truck beside yours any day of the week and with a 2s battery.:flipoff:

The 'scale stuff' helps make it more realistic. IMO

It does and is needed for most competition events for points...Does nothing performance wise..not saying he was saying it did but just pointed it out..Nothing wrong with scale looks..ill be adding some to mine in time.
 
I will say i know winches and pull pals and tow ropes/shackles all play a part in things so they can be useful and fully aware of that.
 
The no tech bolt-ons that you piss and moan about on other peoples builds are highlighted in red for easy identification.

Very good...now maybe some will see im not who they say I am..I buy parts too but couple that to other things ive done with tech to go with it that I know helps my truck perform better than just parts bolts on..You can see im not opposed to buying parts though huh?...never said don't replace nothing that the stock truck is perfect like it is now have I?..Nice try though.

Im thinking the sad part is most don't know how or why a part improves performance other than someone told them it does..Like I said, a bunch of followers on here who know nothing except how to spend money.
..Big difference in knowing an answer than knowing an answer and understanding it.

:roll: arrogant ass. :roll:
 
You've got more bought stuff on your rig than I have.

Hypocrite, or as I like to say, Hippoclit.

How can you make a blanket statement like that?
You don't know these people well enough to back it up.

You really are a dick, aren't you.

They don't know me either mark..maybe read the shit I have to and see where this attitude comes from..or maybe you want to be like they are??
 
Did you know everything I write up I invented it and no one else has done it before????..at least that's what some are saying.

Did you know any build thread I do says its better than anyone elses truck on here????..well they seem to read them like that

All this over my not wanting to use a 3s bettery and saying it breaks stock parts easier..

You've seen what I wrote in my threads..have you thought the same things they are saying about me????

Gimme a break man...this is a bandwagon of people who don't like my threads so they troll me...So much fun:roll:
