Looks REALLY good tambo!! How does it go with that 1940 in it?

Hey Basketti,

I used to race On-road, so I'm used to a bit of speed, but this truck is really wicked!

I can be coasting at about 20mph, and go WoT and it wheelies till I take my finger off the throttle...or I need to steer :)

In the dry on bitumen, if you just give it full throttle on take off, it will just spin out of control everytime. It has way more power and torque than it can handle. 4 Wheel powerslides are there anytime you want them ( on bitumen ).

This is running on Lipos. If you run it on the normal stickpacks, its still a wild ride..but a bit more controllable.

This is my first RC I have used Lipos, and I can honestly say...I will never go back now. :)

COOL! Sounds real good! yeah lipos seem to be the way to go if you have the money! How much did it cost you all up?

very nice and clean Tambo, great work!

Sylvester · 01.07.2006, 10:11 AM

Nice, Did mike build that for you, or did you build it from scratch yourself, VERY NICE!!

MetalMan · 01.07.2006, 10:35 AM

I looked, but didn't see any stock parts, but maybe you have some stock gears in the transmission. Looks great!

the truck looks great. what kind of runtime do u get with the lipos in it. how much does it weigh?

Serum · 01.07.2006, 11:03 AM

one sweet and sexy truck for sure!!

I love the used parts!!

Papa · 11:32 AM

Very Nice! Same power set up I am finishing up. 1940/6. I have the 9918. Which heat sink is that? It fits nicely. What is "bitumen"? Talk to me about runtimes?

The motor mount.

Tambo, please please please change it, the blue aluminium looks so ugly compared to the silver aluminium! Other than that, that is one fantastic looking truck.
