Ok then, took the monster for a test drive on the concrete out back and she's showing promise. Got a few things to fine tune but sofar so good!





Specs:

Gen 1 LXX booster pcb - 57Mhz
TOMY chassis
Daul cell 200mAh Nimh
8.25:1 Gears (green ones)
EM3.8 Vanquish motor
Mosfet modded - single stack


Here's some video (Divx format) of the monster in action. Note: she's a booster so you will notice a distinct difference in speed at times.


Enjoy pimps:

yes dude, some people over the age of 25 still listen to good music and yeah I've now mowed the lawn in the video with my new lawn mower, very nice!

Very cool man.... Looks like a 4X4 should.. Where did you get those fatty rears?

Nice work again.

i like where you've cut the shell, should look great with paint! any ideas on colour? and you forgot the all important butt shot!

thanks fellas....

I got the rear tyres from a $2 like shop, the car it came on cost like $4 and I thought stuff it! it's worth it!

the color is gonna be like blue pearl with a candy topcoat, just don't know what colour yet, arghh......

anyways, I went the cabo inspire'd chop....

He's probably using yellow masking tape.
Fine job so far ph2t.

nah man, it's the masking tape. It's a green "rubbery" type of tape that I swiped from my ex employer, they make trucks and this tape was used for masking on the truck cabs... bloody great tape!

since those shots above I've coated it 4 times with the blue pearl. I then added some funny pearl/clear colour that I think has now made it go to shit.... I dunno yet, I've got to do the detailing first and then some clear coats. After that I'll stand in judgement...

That looks awesome! It sort of reminds me of those misfit frankenstein toys in "Toy Story" that the kid next door had living under his bed.

How does the wheel-glued-on-the-outside-of-another-wheel work? I have this set of HUGE dragster-style wheels from a Muscle Machine car that fit perfectly over the top of raw Bit wheels. Gonna have to give it a go.

Nice work!

thanks man, the wheel-glued-on-the-outside-of-another-wheel thing works well. I've got three steering springs in the assembly, you need it to keep those badass front wheels in check.....

ph2t.

OK pimps. All that's left is some finer detailing and a clear coat. Once that's done it's all happening!
