The "Housewitzser LST2" is born...

[nitrostarter]

Wow! That thing looks great!! Nice job!!

[Big House]

Here is the bottom skid plate and battery box mount. I can truly say...if it is nothing it is stiff.

Very nice indeed. Reminds me of Mistercrash's build, but I like yours a bit more with the center diff. Keep us updated!

I love it! Custom builds are my favorite. I hope you get some trigger time in soon.

I have the wheels and body shell is on order and en-route. I still have to get the radio and the Monster Max. These are the wheels on order.

A roller. I finally got the wheels and 23mm adapters in and put in the truck. The extra wide wheels add to the stance and the size of the beast. I am gearing up for it initial run...almost to clean to run....naaa I don't build them to just look at them.

While my Mayhem ST is in pieces awaiting the 2.0 carbon redo, I took its MMM and finally put power to the beast that is the Housewitzser. The Castle 1717 that powers the X0-1 is just plain incredible. It tosses my carbon fiber behemoth around like a limp rag doll. Definitely one of my most rewarding builds to date.

Have you weighed it yet to see how much it comes in at?

I weighed the beast and I am more than surprised at the weight. Full size 1/8th scale monster...less than 11lbs without the batteries. Beast!!!!

Thats not much more than my X1 truggy. My X1 comes in at 10lbs without batteries. With two 3S 5000mah batteries it weighs 10.8lbs.

Looking at a stock model, the carbon conversion cut a pound or 2 off its weight.

Over-sized and overpowered, there is nothing bad I can say about the Housewitzser but no more wheelies ever...with full packs this thing pops skyward with ease. The cure...decrease the power, not going to happen so the next best option....a wheelie bar. And while I am sure there are some nice viable options to be purchased, I prescribe to the simple philosophy..."why buy when you can build." So I did. Taking a few parts from a parts car, a little dremel and some scrap carbon fiber plate...a few hours later a fully functioning, great looking wheelie bar.

Nice!
