You are gonna FREAK out when you drive this! :yes:

Can you imagine how quiet it's going to be?

TruckBasher 11.09.2008 08:12 PM

I cant wait to FREAK out....but I have to be patient, still need to wait for a couple of parts including the MMM.


Not sure how quite it is but rolling it on the floor, you can hardly hear the diff gears rolling.

A few things I need to look at is the springs, this thing is still too light (no batts loaded yet) and I think green spring is still stiff enough for the front suspention even if I put the batts in. Another thing is the E-Revo chassis is longer than the Slayer and the HARDCORR body needs to be trimmed on the front for the wheel to fit nicely...they are monior stuff I guess

:surprised: WOW, I'm sorry I missed this killer build.. :yes:

Great job sir.. I hope your missing parts come in soon.. Really looking forward to watching the progress unfold from here.. Subscribed!!!:intello:

TruckBasher 11.10.2008 08:34 PM

Thanks Shaun..but this is nothing compared to your conversions... Xterminator 5000 :lol: so who won the naming competition

Yeah I hope so too but earliest would be 3rd week of Nov for the decals and MMM are still MIA :no: Nooooooo

Maybe I'll just try my 16025 if this got completed and MMM is still missing....

Have a good one....

Jeff, how long does it take for you to receive stuff from Castle?

Anyway, can't wait to see it running.

TruckBasher 11.11.2008 01:19 AM

Lito this is the first time I send something to CC. I send it to Oct 26 and no word where it is. I just mailed CC support to check if they have received the items. The shipping contains 2 MMM, hopefully it already arrive at CC.

When it rains it pours....luckily for me they are good news. I was contacted by the vendor that my custom decals were finished and ready for pickup. After I got them, dropped by LHS to pickup some paints and when I got home the 2 MMMs are waiting for me...:party:

I just finished my MMM mount (nothing special) and I got to put on all the internal decals on the body so its ready for painting.

Pics to come....

Can't wait! You probably are more anxious than I am, though.

BL_RV0 11.22.2008 01:03 AM

Lookin' good!

Thanks

Anyway, here is the ESC mount. I know its a bit close to the motor but I plan to put some high density foam before mounting the esc to reduce vibration. Motor wires will definitely be short, in fact I just need to solder 6.5 plugs and she is ready to connect to MMM...

:party: :party: :party:

Servo is on its way but need a couple of softer springs, they are yet to be ordered :oops:

Body painting just finished although it didnt turned out the way I want it to be but for bashing it should be enough.. (no photo yet cause its still drying :whip: )

sikeston34m 11.22.2008 10:39 AM

Drool!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

TruckBasher 11.23.2008 09:46 AM

Just finished the body...not the best thing in the world but it should serve its purpose :whistle: I didnt realize doing those internal decals where tougher than I thought it would be... :lol:

I bought this body when I started the project and I just realized that this is a body for SLASH not SLAYER :oh:, so I might need to trim here and there to make it fit well with the E-Revo mounts , front and rear bumpers....

SnoopMaxx 11.23.2008 11:40 AM

That is absolutely bjutifull :love::love:

TruckBasher 11.24.2008 04:58 AM

Next the Servo should arrive as well as the softer springs...:whistle:
after that....Testing begins :yipi:

MetalMan 11.24.2008 11:31 AM

Here's another body idea for you later on - the SC8 body has a longer wheelbase than the regular Slash/Slayer body. This could be a good option for the E-Revo's longer wheelbase.

The body looks great! Nice short wires, too!
