if i had skill i would build one man. i love it so much that my words cannot explain!

overtki11 06.22.2006 08:28 PM

AwwW shucks man...now you gone and made me blush!!.....:007:

HAHA...do you have a tube bender?...coz thats was like the hardest part.....getting them two square rods to bend exactly at the same point and at the same degree.......you could use a bench vise and bend both at the same time....but then...i dun have a bench vise:035: hence the sorry use of the tube bender...:020:

toby 06.22.2006 08:30 PM

don;t have either!

crazyjr 06.22.2006 08:46 PM

Very nice work, even if it doesn't do what you want. you'll have a heck of a shelf queen

overtki11 06.22.2006 08:52 PM

haha...i guess you're right....cept that i dun have enuf shelf space for bashers let alone queens....:024:

and if i do leave it on the shelf, there'll be a higher chance that i'll tear it apart again...and try sumthin else...sad but none of my projects stay in one piece for long, not coz i wreck 'em buy coz i get bored very quickly....:027:

I am absolutely totally impressed! And trust me, I rarely ever say that! I fab stuff for RC cars and more frequently for full size drag cars so I totally appreciate your enginuity and craftsmanship. AND I absolutely LOVE the paint scheme. Absolutely COOL!

The only recommendations I can make from the 1:1 scale racecars (probably way too late now) is that you will have enhanced stability with a frontal track that equals or exceeds the rear track when drag racing. Also, a very slight offset or the rear axle(s) to the right side of the truck will help sometimes offset torque steer on launch.

Once again.....AWESOME IMPRESSIVE AND WICKED COOL! Great Job!

thank you for the very kind words!...

thanks for the tips...who knows?...perhaps a version III will materialise?.. :eek:

overtki11 06.26.2006 05:11 AM

well, sad to say, yesterday's "Draggular II" speed run was cancelled due to bad weather...rained all day!:mad:1

but it did get to stretch its "legs" a little in a covered carpark....

the hauler drives very unlike a hauler....quite nimble for sumthin so long...turns well too. much to my surprise actually...LOL.

the shocks work well due to the rigidity of the chassis....

all in all, i am quite satisfied with the end result.

i will get a speed run recorded on vid soon so stay tuned folks!!:027: ....

coolhandcountry 06.26.2006 07:49 AM

It is always nice for it to handle better than expected. I looking forward to a video of it. Hey you may have started a new trend and don't know it yet.

haha....me...trend setter!??? .....:005:

but i guess it would be a real kick in the pants if "Draggular" does indeed start a new "class" of RC......racing 3 speeders!!!...nice ring to it eh?...haha.

hmmm. actually, one of my buddies here in singapore says he's gonna do one up for himself.....maybe...just maybe....

Sylvester 07.03.2006 09:22 PM

Sweet! I love the backround, but even more the truck! Its absolutely beautiful! Im speechless.

overtki11 07.04.2006 09:42 AM

thanks dudes.....:027:

here's a short vid.....hope it works...

performance was not up to expectation as this was the 3rd or 4th run on a crappy neglected pack......

Sylvester 07.04.2006 10:20 AM

Very fast! If you put a nice matched pack in there you will be up on your lid very soon! :)

Incredible!!!! Thank you for sharing the construction and completion with us.
I have loved following this build up to the point I statrt to sweat and shake
when I didn't see any posts from you. I think the brushless buggy project has
been replaced.

Thank you!

overtki11 07.05.2006 07:47 PM

sweat and shake??!! :002: :027: :027: :027:

i figure some of you already know that i did do "another" submission by now:005:

but never did i expect 2 and half pages!!!!!

my wife was blown away by the fact that an international magazine would go and feature one of my projects.......so the constant "aren't you spending a lil' toooo much $@#%$ time with your RCs??!!!" will stop...for a while at least....:027: :027:
