Tough Truck Hybrid

[Arct1k]

Started with a bunch of slash 4x4 parts from when I upgraded mine to RPM stuff... Scanned ebay for ages looking for a summit transmission and finally scored one for $40...

Started throwing it together at the weekend and everything came together so far pretty easily. The trans mount is a piece of 1/8 CF mounted to the chassis on some delrin blocks.

I managed to hack together the front driveshaft from a couple of revo outer CVD cups and a dog bone I had lying around. The rears costing more than I'd hoped with a Mip setup.

Tires will probably the 1.9 Flatirons from my first crawler stretched onto 2.2 wheels - I tried them on a pair a SLW and it seems to look like it'll work.


Its setup to run 2X 3s Maxamps 2000mah as saddle packs either side of the transmission left over from my LCC and wouldn't sell.

Motor is a 13.5T/RS Tekin with the 14mm rotor left over from the RCDriver Rock Racer project last year.

Shocks will see how it turns out but threw on some Integy 3.5" for the front and 4" on the rear from the spares bin.

I'll figure out the front bumper once the get body/frame is sorted.

I'm rubbish as build pics so here it is now...
