That "asian guy" happen's to have one of the most sickest truck's money can buy. I don't think a didigtal scale up to let's say 20 lb's is going to be a big problem.

When you stack some books, 3 stacks to app the same height as your 5lbs balance, you can weight on every tire individualy. Would give you the total weight if you add it up, and a nice info on your weight bias as well.

Nice Maxx!

VERY nice indeed there Papa! You definitely have and hour or two invested in your project. I like how the crowdpleazer body extends down to the bottom of the chassis to hide the batts. Mine doesn't do that.
I've got to get me one of those back door refrigerators too, that's nice.
Btw, what is the projected top speed?
Thanks.

Papa 12.18.2005 04:58 PM

8.1lbs base truck
30.3356oz 2@2s2p scorpion 6400Mah
8.125oz body

Nicest truck I have seen Papa, really amazing.

Keep it up. How much was UE extension?

Papa 12.18.2005 05:05 PM

Extension = $60.00 +sh

Sylvester 12.18.2005 06:58 PM

Your truck isnt that heavy, papa, which controller are you gonna be using again? The 9918?

Papa 12.18.2005 07:02 PM

Yes the 9918. Considering thats a ready to run weight, with cells and all. I am good with it.

My Dad used to compliment me. "For as fat as you are you sure don't sweat much.":p

Sylvester 12.18.2005 07:16 PM

That is a good weight for RTR, that is a funny compliment lol:p

NOW! I REALIZE HOW EVERYONE'S CAR IS SO LIGHT! its cuz of lipos. When poeple said 8lbs, 10lbs, im thinkign HOWS THAT POSSIBLE? Mines a stock revo- and thiers is maxx. Well i had nimh, and i bet they all had lipos!

Nick 12.18.2005 07:57 PM

Mine is 11lbs and thats with cells... easy to get under 9lbs if you have the money without Lipos.

rchippie 12.18.2005 07:58 PM

Chris that is a very very nice looking truck . It was nice to talk to you yesterday.:D

Electric Dave 12.18.2005 08:34 PM

Really nice truck. Love all the latest UE goodies...not a fan of the huge body but to each his own. So how does it run/Handle? What weights of Diff oil are you using?

Papa 12.18.2005 08:52 PM

Thanks...

The diffs have 10k in the front and 7K in the rear 50 wt shock oil all around. I am not sure if I like the body either. It was the longest and deepest I could find. I was trying to cover the sides and line up the wheel wells with the arms. I acheived both of those goals. However..... I am not sure if I like the look. As is usually the case I like it alot better with its clothes off.:L:

I have not run it yet. I still have to do the wiring, a mess load of soldering and sorting. We got so much snow on the ground that my sence of urgency is minimal at this point.

Sylvester 12.18.2005 08:55 PM

The body looks alright, but i think you could find somthing better, maybe you could just stick with it for now and once it breaks than you can get a new one:p The body does cover everything up well though.....
