My 3906 Mutation

[JERRY2KONE]

I must have missed this one before. Now that is how you do a custom home made vehicle. That is a pretty cool rig you built there. Taking a cheap piece of junk and turning it into a work of art is definitely a cool way to go. Nice build Redshift. That shows some real ingenuity.

Hehe it's a stealthy thread... thanks for the compliments

It is finally bulletproof after doing the 3mm upgrade on the spool and the solid pins on the input shaft and seems to be up to the level I had in mind when I started the project.

I had a 'minor' collision with the 3905 you see in the video, cost him a snapped upper a-arm and two bent shock shafts- cam was off at the time... darn!

A little update, I no longer own the MA garbage mentioned early in the thread (yeah I thought those were impressive at one time).

It runs purely on Hyperion Swift 4000 non-hardcase packs now and they must have about 3 times the punch of those 'other' packs, I am still undergeared at 22/64 and the Swift packs don't even get slightly warm like
my Evo25 FP packs.

Also I no longer use grease in the diffs and trans, I use Oil Treatment. Far less drag and doesn't pack like grease of course, and actually stays on the metal under extreme loads- I recommend it for any gear applications.

I am looking to start replacing the temporary parts with final versions and remake some damaged body pieces. Actually for what abuse it took over the winter I am astonished how little damage there is

More chase cam videos to come, cams will be mounted on BOTH trucks- gonna be a good time!

That was a well edited fun to watch video. As cool as the truck!
