So far I love how this body is fitting the .5

chassis and BL stuff to follow.

Interesting... Lightweight corr truck, relative to 1/8 buggy conversions out there. Will be watching this thread.

What body?

Proline Hardcore.

You are correct sir!!!

Challenge.
 

It looks like a nice challenge. Now lets see how fast you can make it run? I used to watch the road racers a few years back, but have never worked on or driven one. I started in the monster truck side just a couple of years ago, and have done nothing but Maxx builds so far. Once I get all of our Maxx trucks up and running I hope to either try the XRAY 808, Baja 5b, XTM/MMT, or go for a road racer car for something a little different. So teach me something with this build so I can figure out what direction to go. Good luck itsme.

Thanks guys,

raising the bar!!

This is only mock up and that loop on the axle is not staying.

No you didn't... But because you did, you beat me to it.

LOLOL!! I was raising the bar for myself, doing it like a truggy would be easy. I am hoping i can make that tlt axle last behind a brushless motor.

Well, at least there will be some differences between ours. For example, mine uses an upgraded MT2 front end, MT2 chassis cut out at the front as a Slash-like skidplate/chassis brace, raised chassis like the Slash, beefed up Wheely King rear axle, etc. Your build will be interesting to watch, no doubt!

Is the center drive from a tower terror? Looks very similar if it is not...

I really like this idea, cant wait to see the finished results. The tlt axle should be fine, but you may want to invest in some straight axle adapters, and the one piece axles.

And this looks like a great idea: http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=600

Thanks linc, the CD is actually the .5's one turned on its side. Im going to run mikes motor mount vertical and hopefully run two 3s packs in parallel. I need to order some carbon and make some templates going so I can get this build done sooner..

Thinking about aslo brazing a cage together.

Great job, should look really nice! Glad you went with an actual axle in the rear.

thanks man! just ordered some carbon so the rear portion should be done soon..

After a shitty day like today working on this helped, that and playing with the hollow points..
