yet another new use for yet another old shell

[2FastSS4U]

Probably MT because it uses a transmission and since most truggies have a center diff, right?

thanks dude.

[overtki11]

pulled a "all nighter" last night since i had the time..?! haha.

tried to mill out parts that was not needed...



and after all that work...i only lightened it by 50g!!! :mad:1 :mad:1

[overtki11]

it was then that i realised that it was the front and rear bulks that weighed my tuggy down!

so i tried lightening other parts...

somehow this pic reminds me of starwars...hmmm.....

[overtki11]

it was then i had to accept it...... this is not working out....so if i can't lighten it further...i have to increase the horsepower somewhat...so since i aint gonna spend good money on a good BL system and lipos...i'm just gonna accept the fact that this tuggy will be a slow critter..hahahaha...

anywez, here's a build up...again....













whats missing from the pics is the rear and front bulk braces.....i've done the rear so i'm just left with the front one to sort out...

[suicideneil]

If you removed much more material there would only be the front & rear bulks joined by the tranny in the middle! Does give it a funky new look with the speed holes- cooling shouldnt be a problem anyway...

[overtki11]

haha
actually, i have some other ideas that are only now brewing in my head for the chassis..but i'd just like to get this up and running to see how she goes....


well, this shood be it for now...

made these today...

front brace






here's the back one.... shood work...i hope...:035:

That thing looks really, really good. Looks like there is plenty of room for batteries on each side, and then the receiver up front. Nice job.

Anything Overtki11 makes is always a work of genius/art. That looks like a HvMaxx esc there, but I only see 2 motors wires....

thanks!

yes, batts fit in there quite nicely...

but if i'm gonna proceed to use the intended shell then the rx will prolly sit ontop of the shift servo.

whoa dude! way too kind dude!:013: but thank you!:005: :005:

thats the super duty esc....for brushed motors....looks the same as the HV cos they use the same casing. but its got the sensor wires slot sealed with a rubber thingee, just like a handphone! haha
