Rock Crawler
So I recently picked up a Death Metal Garage Thug. I received the truck yesterday and have been scrambling to get it ready for Sundays end of the season crawl. Here's some of my progress over the last 24hours and the build sheet.
Starting point:
Stripped down:
Some of the parts going:
The stages of my inner fender build:
The donor:
Some after shots:
Not picture - I also picked up a set of hardend steel trans gears from my LHS.
Things left:
1) pickup a 2-56 tap and clean out all the body mounting holes
2) secure the RX/BEC and clean up wiring
3) mount body panels
3.5) figure out how to secure the hood
4) program MMP
5) enjoy
Build (I'll update this later).
o Death Metal Garage "THUG" chassis
o Castle Mamba Max Pro
o Castle BEC @ 6v
o Savox 1230MG servo
o Tekin ROC 412 3100Kv (thinking of dropping to something in the low 2000Kv range)
o Robinson 10T pinion (less than ideal, but it's just to freaking fast otherwise)
o Axial 56T spur w/ slipper completely cranked down
o Axial Hardend Steel transmission gear set
o Axial universals
o Axial hardend gears
o MIP driveshafts
