Built these 3 before I went to the 1st F1 at Indianapolis in 2000 - going back a bit!! (Just photographed now - Jugg's changed a little bit since - 2x Traxxas 550 motors power it now through an EVX - from the E-Maxx) Al. I like the look of that there Jugg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Like the Jugg. Notice there's three of them on eBay at the moment although I won't be bidding. Have the TXT-2 "Psycho" and the Clodbuster Bigfoot" as it is so no more Tamiya monster trucks at the moment. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Cheers guys. It's been a good servant actually - quite good in the snow, being so high up! Nowhere near as stable as the E-Maxx and E-Ram, but that's to be expected. It's an ESP stretch kit, I think. Those alloys are quite heavy and give it a bit more stability. Not a basher, obviously.

Al. Like with Psycho it handles well and is fairly stable and is fun to run around but I certainly wouln't jump it with those incredibly heavy wheels. Have the mental image of doing a big jump and landing and watching all four wheels go flying off in different directions. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 1 good thing .... the mirrors are not Tamiya originals! Got fed up of it falling over and having to repair them. It's got the black rubber ones you can find on Ebay - one of the best mods ever on the Jugg!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It's me and the details again, but there again, how many 'Monster Trucks' have mirrors on? Always liked the Psycho approach - still have a 'spare' shell I had sidelined for that purpose, BF #19? Having to go a bit easy for now ... anyway, enough of me! Al.

johninderby Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have thought of getting another set of Clod tyres and stock TXT wheels for actually running and keep the alloys for shelf duty but that will have to wait for a liitle while. Already spent my £5.00 rc budget for this month. Be glad when the house sale is completed and I'm in the new place end of the month and I'll have a few quid to spare for new projects then.

XV Pilot Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Here's one of my M-05 Fiat 500: A Speed Passion 13.5t brushless motor gives plenty of performance without shredding the tyres after a single run, and the 3Racing alloy steering upgrades keep everything precise and slop-free.

Daveyb84 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 is the shell black to blue fade? liking the wheels a lot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 It is indeed - black faded to metallic blue. The wheels are by Ride if I remember correctly - I bought them a while ago and kept them until the right project came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
