haha - I figured I'd post the thing running before I posted the hack job. You probably wouldn't have believed it if I posted the other way around.

I gotta move somewhere....nicer, lol.
We got about 4" of snow last night, still falling. Sigh.

Can't believe you don't have room somewhere for 1/5 up in MT. I guess the weather is the factor. The track is on the private property of PhatDad RC owner. He has special get togethers where he opens it up to the public every so often. He's been doing this for about three years now. Wish we had something like that available all the time.


Here are the pics. I used rear towers and shocks on the front end. Traxxas slash 4X4 mounting posts secured to the wing mounts. Drive shafts are TeknoRC V4 - off hand cant remember which kit they are out of. Center braces are REVO links. Wheels/Tires are HPI Terra Pins from a Savage.






The whole thing weighs in at around 15 pounds with battery, tires and 5T body.

room isn't a factor for sure. Probably just population density. It's pretty hard to get enough people together in the state that have extra dollars and are willing to spend it on RC.
Probably 10 hobby shops in the whole state that sell RC car stuff.....
