MAN, this should be fun. (OHO'S Cross RC 8x8x4)

[Oh How Original]

Let there be light!!

May not sound much to some people but to someone like me who isn't usually interested in LEDs and doesn't understand control boards and all that stuff, I feel quite proud

Thanks, I think so too lol.

Would love to hear more feedback from the seasoned scaler guys though, as it's my first one and quite a beast for a first timer lol.

That's look great, keep the work up.

[Oh How Original]

Thanks Alex

Hoping to get some more done today.

I'm a rather happy bunny today.

Finally finished the cab for now, I do plan on some little bits and bobs but for the most part, that's finished.

I've also made some very good progress last night and today on the bed, so that's almost complete for the moment too.

Also got all the electrics put in, only a temporary measure as you can see, just wanted it moving under it's own steam, don't think I've ever had such a big grin on my face for a maiden voyage as this one, even just 10 minutes in the garden was VERY rewarding indeed.

I can now totally understand why you scaler guys spend so much time and money on your rigs, in the right conditions they can look fantastic.

It's not over yet, but it's getting there, and I'm already extremely happy with how this rig has come out so far.

love it

 

scalers might not be fast but they have their own charm 

[Bicko]

That's superb looking OHO, awesome job so far dude!

[Oh How Original]

Thanks lads

I absolutely love it lol.

[ibo]

Thats awsome,well done ,gunna cut my card up so Iam not tempted.

[Oh How Original]

Cheers bud

And they are very tempting aren't they lol, I know how long I was drooling over one before I finally decided to just go for it.

[Beige]

Nicely done!

 

The scalers are great, I always get interested people and kids when driving them around. Far more than the fast models.

Yeah even just out on the street for 10 minutes with it before for some beauty shots, I had practically everyone looking from their cars going past and also people walking where looking and smiling lol.

I guess it's also the scale of it, people are more used to my quiet ones being 1:14 and 1:10 scale so although strictly speaking this is 1:12 it's still quite the size.

It's just such a shame my SCX10 D90 fits on the back but looks so out of scale lol.

Need a 1/12 Landy

[Oh How Original]

I've put the bed on it tonight, I've also added some of the little extras under the bed and made a custom box for the ESC, LED board etc.... To live in, now it all actually fits, it didn't before... May make a custom battery box too.
I'm 99% sure I'm going to run this without the sides and the back... I just prefer it somehow, it also leaves scope for more potential things to be on the back and also be actually visible to people without having to look into the bed.
What will go on there? I'm not yet sure.
I may end up just buying a tarp for it and putting some fake 'shapes' under the tarp, you'll never see the items but it should look to scale.
Also potentially thinking about some spotlights on the roof as well and maybe on the bed at the rear (one big one that rotates 360) but I'm still unsure yet, I have an idea in mind that should work, but don't know.
Time will tell... I actually just ordered the new system today as well.
Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster 35T motor and Holmes Hobbies BR-XL ESC, motor may seem a little fast when the current one is a 60T but I want the option of a little bit of wheelspeed, especially if I decide to run on 4s. (which I might have to try just for giggles)
(ignore the wire, the LEDs need to be plugged in again)

Yeah I'll be sticking another shelf up soon, this one is pretty secure but simply isn't big enough lol.

Last night when I carrier it downstairs and back up, I put the SCX10 on the back and my transmitter too, the weight wasn't far off a stock Baja IMO.

I've not lifted a Baja for quite a while but I'd say this was at least 75% of the weight.

What a shame that can't be made RC!

Wonder what RC chassis the body would fit on?

Not got a clue, it doesn't say the dimensions.

In that case please can I have height and width also?

Certainly.........It's that high by this wide.

I thought so, just the right measurements

[Oh How Original]

Well I was planning on taking her to the woods today for a bit of a play but it's majorly overgrown and absolutely covered in dog crap.

So perhaps not, will have to revert to some other plan... I will be taking it out in the very near future though, might go and do a bit of hunting tonight to see if I can't find somewhere decent.

Took her outside for some photos, make sure I'd re-wired the LEDs right and also test out the new battery holder thingy, eventually it'll be made to look the shape of a toolbox, but with a tarp over the top of it.

Also thinking about a strip of 4 decently bright LEDs on the roof.

Also scrubbed some kerbs and the side of the house today as well, so it's starting to get a few chips and marks and things, which I was hoping for.

So overall, I'm still really really happy with this kit.
