Some pics of old emaxx before the diamond plate.... I made a chassis from plastic expanded PVC material, very light and stiff but cracked after some running. Pretty funny stuff... I liked it but it wasn't tough enough. :028:

Looks good.

Now you know how i felt! :p

glassdoctor 02.05.2007 09:57 PM

Video! :)
 
Here's an old video from the first test of my 777 conversion. All I had then was a Hacker controller and a Feigao 8L... and a Hacker C50 emaxx motor.

Ran it on 9 cells... then jumped to 12 later before getting soem lipos for it, and a different motor and layout too. I have no idea how fast it was but as you can see I couldn't get it up to speed.. maybe hit 20 in the street?

The rest is history.

I hope to shoot some fresh video sometime but right now it's 0*

I have a killer plan to do a huge x games style jump at a local parking lot this week but we'll see....

Looks very nice. Still waiting for the video, lol.

glassdoctor 02.05.2007 10:25 PM

finally got the vid... it was very slick... snow on top of ice, lol. So I just ran it WOT for kicks, spraying snow. It's all white so the contrast can be bad... if it's all white, you can turn the monitor brightness down to see better.

Man I want some high speed video now. :lol:

Nice video. It looks so much fun driving in snow. I have seen a picture CHC gave me of a 1/8 buggy with paddles but can't seem to find the tires anywhere. They would work awesome in snow.

Fresh pics.. nothing special but I swapped out motors in my stuff to make them play nice with the escs.

In other words, I separated the Neu from the Mamba, LOL...

And now both buggies are alive, only got pics of the 8ight which now has the Hacker C50 12L "thing":

Lookin' good! BTW, nice avatar! LOL!

glassdoctor 02.08.2007 01:39 AM

new avatar ;) this is the car I wanted back in the day... I had the original Ultima and i thought the Optima was sweet but I never got one.

OK... I got some video... uploaded a 1 minute sneak peak at youtube.

I didn't have anyone to run the camera... ;( but still got some shots. More later tonight if I can get back at it.

what do you think? I plugged the forums here too :)

Lookin' awesome!! :004:

Longer video will be live in a few minutes. It's almost 5 minutes long... 12MB.

The raw footage was only 7 minutes... it was kinda cold so I didn't waste any time, LOL

No damage to the truck but I did lose a body clip and a nut on a steering arm. I'll take that...

There.... that's all I got for now. But I hope to get more and better video soon.
