Took a grey C10 and threw a mess of Mofo and HR parts at it to make the Bad Ideas Express.
HR links, long-travel single-drop shocks (No seals but somewhere I read you're supposed to put grease in them? Any help there?), driveshafts, skid plate, brass knuckles, brass diff covers front and back.
Mofo 600mAh 2s, 4100 BAM brushless with the 24 tooth pinion and 32 tooth spur, bombproof Mod.5 trans gears and aluminium housing, 2:12 worm gears, V2 CVDs up front with the pin retaining sleeve, monster truck tires, fancy hub nuts, 12g servo pushing brass steering links, and a steel cross rod and aluminium rear long-arm body hinge bracing the stock chassis rails.
Originally mounted the transmission backwards and moved the battery but I got maybe 90 seconds before it unthreaded the spur gear nut and spat it out.
Now we have the transmission assembled forward, stock battery tray, ESC tray butchered for space so only the front body mount tubes remain, the single pin flat body mount at its highest setting with holes drilled through to put the S-curve posts in even higher, a brass plate bent and hammered to attach the stock body hinges to the tall aluminium one, the front bumper mount flipped, and the front shocks bolted to the bumper mount holes while the rear shocks are bolted one hole in from the tail on the steel crossrod.
Stock V1 radio and Lizard Pro ESC are on a chunk of plastic clamshell packaging making a riser plate that holds them just under the front windshield.
So we went from 1:5 at the motor mount to 3:4, and from 1:16 at the axles to 1:6, driven by a 4100 Kv brushless on 2s.
It can't crawl anymore, the motor but it's SCREAMING fast. Gyroscopic procession of the monster truck tires is a serious steering concern now.
It's absolutely stupid and uncontrollable and I love it.
