Being named the Wraith I expected to see Charlie Sheen behind the wheel- guess it's the undead post-apocalyptic version... I don't think smoking is the problem so much as the rotted-away nose.

More evidence that the driver is in fact Charlie Sheen.

Nice ride Bro :D

Hehe, most of the scaler guys choose muscle bound wrestlers or GI types to "drive" their trucks, I had to be bit different. I named my driver Bob Zombie and went with the theme a little further with custom made beadlock wheels with "Double Tap" on the rings (quote from Zombieland) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDJedaxA2eU

I was batteling a bump steer issue with all 3 axles, the #1-#2 were horrible where-as the 3rd wasn't bad at all. I reconfigured the linkages for #1 & #3 and the bump steer is nearly non existant now via bench testing. The 2nd axle I fabricated a entirely new mount due the old one rubbing the shock a little, this mount far exceeds the first design anyway. I'm now going to be putting everything back together for a test later today or during the week when time allows.

A big thanks to James/Lincpimp, his help made figuring out these issues a bit easier. :great:

I made spacers to drop the servo down 15mm, made abig difference.

Went for more of a Road Warrior vibe, was worried about the lexan windows getting knocked out so used this plastic garden border mesh.(8"x20' roll $6.00 @ Lowes)

Bought 20' of the mesh and used up a whole 6"? You'll find more uses for it now that you have it I'm sure, haha.

Lookin good! I like the fuel tanks.

For those whom are following my thread I greatly appreciate your interest, I do have the 6x6 100% complete and have done a limited control test here at home but Sunday at a scheduled meet I hope to get some good still pic's and video of it at "work".
Please stay posted for the first actual real world test.

Thanks for looking

awsome
 

will be nice to see it in action awsome build!!

Dude! That's just too cool!! It sucks to see Bob Zombie getting a tow but that works phenomenally!!

Thought about stiffer springs in the rear maybe?

Hehe, Thanks Corey.
Ol Bob is pissed because he thinks he's getting repo'd.

Thinking about springs also but really wanna drive it befor I decide to do next.

Went for a scale run this AM and had a blast, A real nice spot with a great mix of everything from trails, gravel, sand, mud, creek, steep banks etc except rocks and all completely shaded. I was so into wanting to drive and test I completely forgot about the camera and HD recorder in the car, DOH. Luckily DontSlowDown/Chris had his Iphone and snapped a few pics, Thanks Buddy !

Great Job Bondo!

Reminds me a Lizard Lick Towing.

"But.......But...........I PAID my Bill! You ain't taking my ride!"

LOL :lol:

Come on!! No video!!!


Next time we better have some footage! Sounds like a cool spot to have some fun at!!

Glad you got the steering figured out. I like that canted servo mount, really thinking "outside the box" there. Not like you have been "inside a box" in a while, at least since your last "lifestyle change". Lay off the estrogen, and maybe you can remember the camera next time you go scale wheelin'!!

@ Sikes; Thanks Bro, glad u like.

@ Corey; you'll live till next time. I was pretty dissapointed myself sorry.

@ James; The servo/steering compliment is appreciated, I appreciate the help w/that.
The rest of your comment; Go EAD. :na:

Just charged one of the 3s packs from Sunday, I ran 1.25hrs with a 3200mah 3s 30C pack and the Hyperion charger said it still had 43% charge. Happy w/that !
