Man that is freaking SWEET!!

 

[MiRatlhed]

I really hope to get the honor to stage at the gates against your Clods sometime Mike. They look awesome.

Nice work!! :worthy

 

[Budhatrain]

Thanks guys for the compliments- it's really cool!

Joe, I can 99% say I will be there for the March one- I took vacation that week and specifically am planning in being in MI during that time.

However I am a nOOb when it comes to racing- so I apologize now if I run you and Jon over... on accident:tong I literally mean like hitting you in the shin or something- running you over.

 

[BackToThePast]

Wow. That came out really nice my friend. Nice work!

 

[Drag-u-la]

Looks great!

The truck looks great, everything came together well. Thanks again for your business.

awesome is all i can say , and i agree with Will i would have a basher body cause if some thing were to happen to that work of art :willy

 

[808XD]

Nice truck

 

[Savage03]

Looks great! Have you ran it yet? If so hows the sct esc's?

 

[quick5pnt0]

Sweet build! :tmb

Hate so sound like a broken record, but KILLER truck Mike!! Everything from the chassis to the body - top notch.

Very curious to see how those dual 4pole motors work out. Have the feeling you'll be on 2 wheels a lot.

 

[Budhatrain]

yeah haven't taken it out yet. We had a good foot of snow dump on us Friday and then flash floods and lightening storms last night. I just don't want to get it wet. As soon as we see 50 outside it will be driving. I have high expectations for the sct 4poles too! $89 ea can't beat that. Soon enough though... TTR bumper and body is not gonna mix well... and I am looking for new treads but rcboys won't post another set up.... so we will see. The tires I have on there now- one has a real bad wheel wobble from drilling the wideners wrong- first set ever done by me- last year.


Oh the wheelie's thing... preventative maintenance with scottyK's wheelie/lockout bars YAY

 

[Savage03]

Deal with rcboys all the time, contact the owner and tell him what you want and he discounts if you go outside ebay :tmb

That body really tied the whole package together.



The stance on that truck is killer too. The raked out shocks look amazing.

yeah had a little problem with getting the sct sidewinders to work together yesterday. It was real glitchy, bugs and everything wasn't working right...even the servo. But I came inside and loaded up the updated firmware and things didn't immediately fall into place but after 5min everything worked and I hadn't really done anything else except turn it on and off to see if anything had changed.

Right now, it's not blazing fast speed- like I see with my 4600's on my terminator. I think gearing is going to be able to help with this. In addition I found out something might be wrong with my rear axles so looks like I need to take them apart and do an inspection to see what's up- I bought them used... so it happens. I have a new set of axles laying around that I can always swap in if I need to. Probably just a minor thing- gotta love the hobby and it gives me a chance to use some cow products YAY! Next week is vacation so early I expect to get this thing on the road. I will take vids- pending weather.

 

[Budhatrain]

spent some time to try and chase down the problem in the rear axle...ends up I didn't put the axle hex thingy in the rim- dooh! There goes an hour of my life. Steering looks ok it's almost maxed out, but with a BTA setup I will have every mm...

There is a little cog stall before takeoff... never noticed this on my other truck- I have a different lipo pack to test but it's not terrible and I am gonna try and adjust through the castlelink and esc first.

Speed was OK... I am gonna bounce up at least to a 15 or 17t pinion I might pick up 19's if the funds are available. Real excited about next weekend with the MI guys... hope they don't talk football because.... well.... maybe next year guys.

So to end it off I broke a hub right before I shut everything down... that's just the way it goes sometimes haha

 

[ZRP_Racing]

No football talk. Only smack talk.

:shk

 

[yanks017]

it will all come together

 

[highroller]

I love the terminator truck!, what shocks and wheel spacers are you running on that one?

No problem - I won't bring up Ohio State and the sweater vest's fiasco if you don't bring up the Lions. :laugh

stock traxxas jato's rears all away around- tweaked racing I think 3/4in for wideners
