Step-by-step building the X-Ray (E) 808 Buggy!..

[TDC57]

Good news!.. These bad boys go together like the one’s I'm using on my GR3 & G3 / the ones Mike sells in his hybrid diff’s kits.. (no worries)..






Well here are the diffs all completed and turning smooth… time for a refill and the next step…





Here is a part that I hate doing, but since I'm killing brain cells tonight I thought I might as well continue down that process. I’ve decided to seal all of the carbon fiber edges. (Good times) NOT!.. I'm just using my trusty cotton swabs, some CA glue and rubber gloves. I'm using the cotton swabs to ensure that I apply the correct amount and obtain the proper coverage throughout all of the edges..

Is that a Fender Cyber Twin or something similar hiding under the desk?

I didn’t know you where a buddy guy??, I knew that you have several of the badest boys on the planet, but I thought they are all GorillaMaxx’s..

By the way Shaun just to clarify I do not have the G-Maxx. I have 4 Maxx's of different versions and all metal construction. 1) Unlimited Engineering Lightning SuperMaxx, 2) RCM FLM ext Maxx, 3) Hardcore/Integy E-Maxx, and 4) is a Dynamite/Integy E-Maxx. All four of them have the 2 speed aluminum tranny with metal gears installed, stainless or titanium drivetrain, and I am installing all High Voltage electronics for the power plants. I now have the Quark 125B, Schulze 18/97, MGM 160/24, and the MMM for ESC's. I have the Plettenberg Big Max and I am working on acquring a few Neu & Lenear motors to finish the collection. Once we get resettled in Korea (August/September) I will begin the process of installing the electronics and figuring out how to work the ESC's so that we can get all four of them race ready. The electronics are all new to me so I am in no real hurry to burn any of them up. Once I figure everything out we will have some real fun. I have not posted anything up the way that you have, because I have taken a lot of time (& money) to put these together and picked up pieces here and there to build them. It would have taken over a year of posting to compose what you have done in just a couple of weeks with your builds. Once I have tehm all where I want them I will tear them completely down and rebuild them with care and loctite making sure not to miss tightening one screw, setscrew, pin, or nut. No mistakes no regrets. We all tend to get in too much of a rush with this hobby and it ends up costing us big time. just wanted to clarify what I have been building. Sorry for the confusion TDC. I am learning a lot seeing your builds on here. Thank you.

Good evening Jerry,
As always it’s a true pleasure reading your posts.. WWoooowww you have some serious builds going on.. I was totally mistaken.. (My bad).. I do understand your point of view and I’m really looking forward to seeing your builds when they are ready!!.. I think everyone else is too… are you involving your kids in the process?? They might like the fact of learning with DAD!! (just a thought)

Thank you again for all of the kind words and great encouragements you provide on this site for me and many others. I also like your comments you left on another thread I read earlier today quote “you get what you pay for in this hobby” truer words where never spoken my friend..

As always Jerry thanks again for your time and best of luck in your upcoming life change to you and your family, I wish you nothing but the greatest time and safest of travel to / in Korea..

Have a great one..

Unfortunately the kids have been living in California for about 7 years so my tiem with them has been very limited for teh most part. Their mother has played games with the system for a very long time keeping me from getting the tiem with the kids that I should have had. It was the decision of everyone that aftger losing their mother that spending a little time with their Grandparents until this big move was in the best interest of our kids. It helps them mourn and ease their way into this move. So the kids have seen the R/C collection when it was in its first stages, but they have no idea what has become of it. Yes I hope to get them involed in build projects very soon. I want them to learn from whatever I can share with them until the tiem comes for them to become adults and the leave home on their own. I will also share my woodworking hobby with them as well. I have a lot of shop equipment and nothing is beyond me. I also do all of my own automobile work on our cars, so they will also learn from that. All of this plus a love that we have all been deprived of for a long time.

Thanks for your supportive comentary as always Shaun. These kids have been through a lot of negitivity and it is time for them to have some fun in life, but also realize that there are responsibilities that they have to live up to.

Back to the 808 now. Is it finished yet? When will you have the final pics and videos up on here? We all look forward to seeing them

Hay macr0w,
Yes that is a Fender cyber twin good eye’s, here’s the babies that go with it.





1. A 2004 American made custom body starburst Fender strat (70 &80 rock) with Custom Shop Special Pickups
2. a custom shop classic Fender Telecaster (old rock) with Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker & a vintage stack
3. a 1974 Ibanez hollow body (for jazz and blues) with Gibson 57 classic & classic + pickups
4. a fret light FG -451 Pro Guitar I bought for my son who doesn’t play it! rrrrrrrrrr
5. a 1990 Abilene (my first guitar)..

I’ve been playing guitar for over ten years it’s a blast, I like to play BBKing, LedZ, ACDC, JimmyH, GG/dolls, chuck berry, (IE) the oldies / classics.. JimmyH (star spangle banner & (CB) Johnny –be –good) are the funniest song to play after a few (drinks).. BBK and Bo diddley songs are great to ply / improvise off of when the blues set in.. A man has to have it’s outlets.. I assume you play yourself??

Have a great one

Shaun.
