Carpmart Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Progress today (As in yesterday now)? I suspect too much Christmas 'spirit' to find the time to focus on building eh? I'm loving the look of this, so genuinely interested in progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the whole afternoon set aside to get started but the grandkids came over so that went out the window, as much as I love RC I'd rather have a fun filled afternoon with them anyday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 So today should be the day then? I am also eagerly awaiting progress. This rig will probably sway me over a new Losi 8ight. I take it those eye watering stickers are for an interesting effect on the shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombercountynick Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Cookie I think its a chassis protector? After seeing those savage sam videos I can't wait to see how this turns out. Must say I wasn't a fan of the looks when the first shots came out but with the right shell/wheels it looks like an awesome rig!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Ahhhh I see. Yeah Teknos choice of shell to show it off with wasnt very inspired. WANT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 They are indeed chassis protectors by Mattox thought for the sake of a few quid I'd try and look after it, well for a while ! The design on them I may incorporate in the shell somehow but not sure yet I'll see how I go on fitting them to the chassis first if it looks like a pigs ear then there be gone lol Sadly I doubt I'll get chance today to start it as I wanted to do a few vids the main one being a time lapse build vid, which is something I haven't done before so it coukd go either way ! Thing is I'm in no hurry to build it as I don't intend to beat it over a wet muddy field much and at the minute there's just nowhere dry enough to go, the skatepark I use is closed for the winter for maintence there is another couple close by but sadly they get packed when the kids are off scoolso there a no go for a while.

mydoddy69 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Well that's a bonus I must have missed that, I still wouldn't say it's waterproof maybe splashproof at best by the look of how the wires come out of it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Nice tight turning circle there for it's size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Running well, and fast. Very wide - gives stability, but may limit cross-country jaunts. From what I've seen of your videos, they're all in open fields, so no problems there. Looks very light, plenty of power - was that 3 or 4S? More? What is it's all-in weight? Al.

Haven't weighed it to be honest but it feels very light, it's running 4s which is plenty for this little thing he is going to jump up a couple of teeth on the pinion and I'll get mine built then we will head down to Brooklands to get some speed runs in should be fun ! We are trying to keep these for the skateparks to be honest instead of the field but you never know come the summer they may see the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
