XXL LST finally...super slow build!!

[Desert Rc]

I was just there yesterday, I was bashing my SCTs around. I like the redesigned track much better then it used to be. On the other hand, This build is just a heavy basher....hopefully its torque-monster.

nice...I like the flat black paint scheme

[MikeW]

OMG please tell me what paint you used

It looks awesome!

[Desert Rc]

ULTRA-Flat camo black paint/KRYLON/ made for glass metal and plastics....no primer needed. I did scuff the heck out of it to make a solid foundation since its on the outside. I want to do another one I have some better plans. Clrome painted on the inside.

Only way to do flat paint on a RC body is on the outside. Kinda sucks, but its what we have....

Petition Proline to use non glossy lexan...

I do agree, the flat black combo looks killer! The body is a tad short tho...

[Desert Rc]

I kinda like the shorter body since the bumper sticks out a bit. I have to say in person it looks pretty decent IMO and I am more then a little particular.

ran this thing tonight for the first time really hard tonight....low low temps on the esc and esp the motor. Tightened down the slipper good and the wheelies were silly back sliding fun. I have to same sure would be nice to have a wheelie bar or just a muggy wing so I dont have to go and flip the biotch every few minutes. But holy heck was that a friggin blast. I have to say one of the most adrenaline pumping fun running rigs I have ever built. Thanks Castle for a excellent motor once again.

Hey what's the name of that body? Looks great on the truck and the flat black/chrome is sweet too!

[Desert Rc]

proline boulder hauler or something

[Desert Rc]

Well that was fun, it snowed for a few days then yesterday it just rained alot. Now its like a big slushy outside. I ran for a bit with the 6s on my xxl and it was a monster. even in the snow it was popping wheelies. After about 10min it stopped and sounded like I lost a pinion...but upon further investigation I melted the slipper. I thought it was kind weird until i picked up the rig and I realized it had to weigh 30-35 lbs. Im not exaggerating. I about shat myself when I picked it up out of shockThis was not snow it was like a block of ice thru-out the rig and packed into its massive wheels.

It was def fun though, it was spitting like 20 ft roosters of slush!!!

Here is the after math...wish I had someone to take some action shots.
