RC Bashers

wow what did you hit? lol not a easy task to pull stuff once its dried since its so rubbery...these metal? epoxy might do it but hard to say hit anything asking alot for em to stay on I would think...

i would make sure you clean it with some sort of mineral spirits or acetone, and then roughen it with a little sandpaper, not a lot, just enough to give the surface some to have the glue stick to, then try again.

I'd use some elastic string or a hair thing, drill a couple of holes in the mirrors and then tie it through some holes in the body. Then tie knots on the inside so that the mirror will move when its hit, but always bounces back into place afterwards. That or do the same thing but useing screws.

HD, creative idea...

I clipped a lawn chair turning pretty fast.. took the mirror right off. It's plastic but there is some residue from some other epoxy or something left over on it.. I figured the GOOP would just hold onto that well but it didn't...

or you could just sell the whole rig to me and be done with it, lol.

What are you doing waving your hands in the air like you're some kind of jedi??! your mind tricks won't work on me.. ;)

What wheels did you end up with? Glanced over the posts but didnt see a name...want new ones for mine since the hex area on these is kinda not good

Keep telling yourself that grasshopper, darkside the join soon will you.

owned lol

love all the smileys!!!

show off, lmao

THESE

I think they are similar to Losi MRC beadlocks.. pretty decent quality.

those look nice man.

I got around to flipping my servos to the right way they are supposed to be for this junfac kit... and adding my alum steering hubs... Just a couple random pics

the wiring I did under the hood for the lights..


hot racing hubs... pretty nice. Everything fit perfect just like stock except I had the thread locker the step screws.


got an rc bashers sticker on the frame





On the wheels, if I had to buy them over again I would get these: http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_i ... cts_id=546
not cheap but very pretty. hopefully I will be able to hit a trail tomorrow now that things are drying out here... finally. Oh yeah, I got my 4pl radio and like it a lot. Having access to 1st gear is nice. 3rd is too fast with this 3800kv motor and soft suspension.. I might try and hunt down a 17.5t sensored... I want to sell of a few things before I do that though.. old clod stuff and that 10.5t motor I am not going to use apparently.

rig turned out nice! the lights add just that special touch.

you`ll have to hook up me up with them decals you put on there.

man i like this truck. Keep up the good work

nice job man, cant wait to see some pics of it out ont he trail!

Thanks guys... I like how it turned out a lot. I really need to go drive it now and see where the weak points are.

Bill - the emblems I got here: http://www.rpphobby.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=emblem

You have to paint then sand them.. if I were to do it over I would have done two coats of color then sand and run a clear coat over the final product.. but for my first go at it it worked alright.

HD - I found a bungee net exactly how I want it.. http://www.freewebs.com/2001aim/apps/we ... how/484001
I think your bungee cords look higher quality though.. I am wondering how he did the connections.. hmm

either way, that net aint sh!t compared to what you can do yourself for less money. I've made spider web style, straight square knotted...I can teach you grasshopper

There's one I did on a Maisto I started out with under the crawling thread.
Attaching them is as easy as some glue. Be it shoogoo or Super. There is also another method I've seen, but I dont trust it really. I'll find out more once my bungees come in. It's basically squeezing some rings on the ends of the cords so that the hook itself wont slide past the end.

thanks for the linky buddy!! i`ll have to order them up here soon.

Bill - np man.

HD - ok... I measured the bungee that works on the rollover bar at the top and bottom and it's 4 inches. should I go with a 4x4 or 5x5 config?


On radio boxes... what do you guys think?

leaning towards the ofna..

Might hit radio shack to they have those project boxes alot of guys use on the honchos now..

ok cool.. thanks for the tip. I'll check out the shack.

I would do a 4x5 or 5x6 configuration because the bed is longer than it is wide. But keep it on the bed rails only. Dont go up on the bar or anything. You could even go about a 1/2 or so above the bottom of the bed. There are tie down mounts in the bottom of all 1:1 trucks, so that would look realistic.

yeah - I need to get some tie down mounts... I was thinking I could use some black body mount posts maybe. cut off the post at the bottom or something...



my rx glitched on my last night when switching into 4ws mode... only lasted a second but I was wondering, I can drop a capacitor (novac glitch buster) in my bind plug, right? or I have a y-harness on one of my servos to help the cable reach, I can put it in the unused spot on that right? I might up the BEC on my mmp to 6.5 or something also.. those r2104gf's are rated up to 8.4 or something.. should be safe.
