Anybody here into RC?
#1
I've had this for a while now... not running at the moment, can't figure out how to sync the controller up with the speedcontrol, but it's a blast to use.

I admit i've cruised the RC boards. Love the scale ones that look exact. Some you can't tell they aren't full size in the pics.
Nice rig

Yeah.. scale rigs are amazing. Some of those guys hand make that stuff to.. very impressive stuff. Thanks! I'm hoping to get it running soon here.. I miss it :( lol

I's no where even close to what you can make yourself but for a while I had fun modifying the crap out of those off the shelf NewBrights. You could trim and move stuff around until you had a solid cheap rock crawler

Considering the left one was stock, you could extrude quite a bit out of them


You could cut enough on these to 90degree the axles and regear, etc

but I liked keeping the body stock so:


Last I worked on it I was long arming it and redoing the springs but I never finished it. It was a fun project with limits that kept me from spending more than $50. All home built.
