Looks good!

[gearguy70]

thanks!, it was a pain in the butt to get al together but it was worht it, spent the whole day fitting those links.

[rocketrob40]

looks neat!
definately a candidate for RC of the Month, you should post a shot there

[gearguy70]

Thanks, I may for next month's comp. my lhs is getting 55t motors for $18 so as soon as they are in stock I'm getting one, I installed a fan, relocated de receiver and steering servo to the back, so now the back becomes the front. that way most of the weight is up front and not out back to flip it over.

Looks good man. My WK is stretched too, Im currently in the process of locking the axles.

[gearguy70]

I used hot glue to lock mine, cheap and removable

[gearguy70]

ah, the wonders of CAD programs, there is a laser cutter at college, just designed this bad boy,


now I just need to get some aluminum sheet.

[igotbannedfromtrx]

jeep bulid?

[gearguy70]

not really, just something to replace the stock frame. I'm going to have a body on top of the frame, but I guess you're right, it's a jeep build as the body will be a rubicon for a Savage

[gearguy70]

well, found out that the laser cutter on campus doesn't cut metal, so, I "tummy tucked" the WK chassis, relocates the battery mount point as well as the tranny and upper links mounts with 2 custom plates, redid the front links, added some suppoert to the steering links and I installed some T-maxx shafts that finally came in the mail yesterday. PICS!!!!!!!!!!




yes, it is a PS2 fan







ENJOY!

[Rob #28]

Looks good. But does it perform better? That's what matters.

[gearguy70]

actually it does better than before, and it has a lot better articulation, I just need to get a 55t or 45t motor for it. beside I just like to run it around, I'm not into competition just yet.

[gearguy70]

well got myself a body for it, and painted the new side plates black. painted the body and I am now waiting on lights to arrive to finish this puppy, I'll get pics later

[gearguy70]
