MRC E-Thunder King Re-juvination

[triggeraa]

The rig without dual lipos came in at 9lbs - 3ozs. With dual lipost and minor missing parts it will come in right at 11 pounds.

That rig looks pretty cool. It will be interesting to hear how it handles and what kind of speeds you get with the duel VXL3 and teh lipos. Great looking truck and something a little bit different for a change.

Small update while I wait for new lipos, Kyosho aluminum shocks and steel gears. I added aluminum body posts, heat sinks for the motors and vxl fans to both escs. Need to paint the JConcepts Illuzions MGT lid. Also replacing remaining phillips head screws with hexes. Having some "Twin VXL" decals made.

A few more.

Looks nice man. Gonna be a crazy 2 wheel drive setup. Should be fun to drive. Make sure you get some video of that thing.

Added the dual 11.1v 3S 20c-30c 5000mah lipos. They fit perfect. I also made a dual battery harness/connector using the pics and drawings provided by UNSLOW and Suicideneil. Thanks fellas. I should get my tranny gears late this week as well as my new shocks. The complete rig with lid came in at 11lbs and 6ozs. Once I have everything shaken out and runs smooth I will lighten the rig by a couple of pounds and see how fast she can go. I plan on using one battery (12ozs), one steering servo (2ozs), smaller wheels and high speed tires or 1/8 foams. Vids coming soon.

A couple pics more.

killer killer killer, dude i wanted one of those so bad when they came out, glad to see you brought it back to life, that should be a class of truck 1/8 stadium

Almost complete. Added kyosho threaded aluminum shocks. Installed steel tranny/diff gears. Here are some pics of the MRC TK with the XTM Mammoth body I received when I purchased the roller. I have yet to paint the JConcepts body. The rig is ready to roll. Been raining all day here. I will report results as soon as I have some. I am starting a second MRC Thunder King project. This second project will be a high speed racer. Low to the ground and using all lightweight RPM arms and suspension components. All ready got all the parts.

A couple more for the road.

Is there a word that comes after WOW. If there isn't one, they should add this truck to a dictionary and make it mean more than a WOW.

[suicideneil]

Wowzers!

Yep, if you cross breed a Rustler and Emaxx, this is the result.....

It really did turn out well, should make for an incredible basher with show-truck looks.

Update: After replacing a broken bulkhead, I decided to lighten up the MRC by replacing the aluminum arms with RPM plastics. I also replaced the castor and knuckles with plastic. I also switched to a lighter wheel and tire (road rages) combo. In all I save about 470 grams. I have 2 new controllers on the way to allow me to run on dual 4S with the velineon motors and some new energy 4100mah 4S lipos. My setup is down to 10.5lbs (4762g).

Very nice. Man I hope you belted those tires! You may also want a front wing...
