1717 in a Desert Boy Chassis, It can be done !

[Bondonutz]

Finially finished the entire assembly, Had insomnia last night and was balanceing tires at 4am. I haven't ben feeling the greatest the last couple days so I may not test until Monday or Tuesday ?

I installed the ESC(pulled red wire) , 1200mah 2s ThunderPower RX battery and RX on battery tray, lots of room for electronics there.

Mounted and balanced PL Trenchers on 23mm 40series 1/2" offset Dyed PL Velocitys




The XL body doesn't fit to bad, Think the next thing I may consider makeing will be a roll cage for the cab and tie into the F&R shock towers ? A roll over w/this Heavy assed MoFo will destroy some Polycarbonate.
Time to look for some 1/4" 7075 solid rod and fire up my aluminum welder.

Very nice build there Bondo! That thing's gonna kick butt!

What's that rotor I see in picture #1?

Nice job fitting the motor in. Do you think it's possible to squeeze the 1717 into an E Revo? I'm thinking about taking a look at that when my order comes in.
