Think it looks cool and should make an interesting build. Odd wheels for now until I can order a set of 4 or 2 more of the ssd ones. With ever I can get cheaper. Forgive my ignorance, but what is this beauty, is it a crawler? Is it a MT? Whatever it is, it's sexy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a sort of crazy mix of both. Thinking it's a mega truck. A truck that's had a massive lift kit. I want to see if is possible to make this in to a good rock crawler. Way to much power. But that's half the fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex97 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Painted this, sadly I only had CoreRC paint and it's fair to say tamiya is far superior IMO. Colour is neon blue. I'm still waiting for magnetic body mounts so it's slightly jacked up however I've gone for more form fit and function over scale look. I know the tires are too big and slightly too wide, I've got some thin hexs I want to try to hopefully fix the track width issue. I've ordered some lights and a RX switch. But most importantly it's RWD so I'm already winning! Edited July 24, 2021 by Alex97 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DEL 69 Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 Got it painted, should have been better as there was a bit of a reaction with the paint. But good enough. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Redback Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 Body masked ready for paint however cant paint until mounts 100% ready to go. Got the body mounts blocked out ready, no custom holes needed mounts with existing hardware and holes. Upgraded from xt60 to 6mm Bullets on the 4s drone packs and Mamba just fits. The tolances are super tight couple of mm space before it hit the servo saver. Reduced from 90t spur to an RW outlaw spur fits right on. Cant wait to get the paint down 😎 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post billyb_imp Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 Got the roof rack (or expedition rack as Traxxas like to call it), on, along with spare wheel mount, wheels with blue bead locks and one or two other odds & sods. I only have this car because Margaret (my wife) wanted one to run around with whilst I have the defender, especially whilst we are away in the caravan like we are at the moment. Margarets favourite cars are blue, hence the blue car, blue bead locks etc. Hopefully she won’t notice the availability of the blue aluminium upgrades. Next to go on will be the inner fenders, then it’s out to find a trail for Margaret 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post billyb_imp Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 After yesterday’s external upgrades, today we have the internal fenders done, hopefully will help with keeping the inside a bit cleaner or maybe not. That’s enough upgrades on this for now, it’s ready to go out in to the wild. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hell horn. Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 Built up my ugc chassis and a spare gearbox I had up again. Very nice. But now I need a set if axles. Any one got a free set lol. This is as far as this build is getting any time soon. Gearbox is belt driven on this. Could be good. Might be a pile of crap. Who knows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex97 Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Final one of the weekend, the masking at the end worked out ok. Just need to do a few more coats of black and then it's ready to be trimmed. Blue lines are on the overflim. Paint is tamiya PS32 Edited July 25, 2021 by Alex97 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird as I didn't see anything. The 3rd time I was closer when it jolted again so I went over and never expected to see this.

Dang hows the chassis look? i tried some white paper to see if it did anything as the shell is backed with white but didn't seem to do much. i think it might be the way traxxas paints the shells. or it was just me. but a whole can did nothing.
