[Mr. Burpsalot]

Ahhh, Looks very familiar! I'm curious to see what you will be running for a
motor/esc combo. And was wondering what your thoughts are on battery placement.

 

[KRAWLR4life]

OK, so I'm waaaay to busy to show you the build up of this rail step by step... sorry :x

But heres wheres she's at for now... Waiting for Motor/ESC and reciever...

Specs so far...

New Era Rustler RR Aluminum A-Arms
STRC RR Aluminum hub carriers (Stipped the blue anodize)
MIP STAMPEDE/RUSTLER Shinny CVD's

Waiting on other parts!

I mounted the seats about an inch from the floor, this gave me clerance for the steering servo in the front and esc, reciever and battery in the middle and back. Its about the right hight anyway to be the right height

More pics coming soon!

Wow, awesome. It would be so cool if you could make the tranny look like a subaru EJ engine!

 

[darkstar]

Nice John!

Those aluminum panels looks damn good. I need to make a wing for mine, I had one on my last one and they are needed to complete the look IMO.

So did you get one and will you be doing a build thread?

 

[THE411]

Yeah i did order one, it arrived today, but unfortunately i am away for work until christmas. So i will be ordering all the parts i need while im away, ready to go when i get home. I think i might do a build thread for it. I should do a couple of others too as i just finsihed my traxxas backslash conversion and am currently doin an AX10 build while im away.
