After talking to Finks (who's on his way down south towards Dark Tari country) I decided to try Clint's MT chassis articulation mod...came out pretty good. I haven't had this much fun with an MT since I tri celled one.

some outdoor shots

misc specs:
Xmod antenna
tri cell
black pearl paint with detailing
yellow motor with red gearing

Nice job man.

It would be awesome if you could get some close up internal pics.

I love that hummer body and the chassis and batt mod looks nicely done.

I cant stand to sit here anylonger lookin at these zzmt's all tricked out i have to go pick up one for myself tomorrow.

Fuck man. I really need to do this.
Nice job Hiroto.

I've never bought x-mods anything. I'll be damned if I'm going start now. So if you fookers see me in "Lookin' To Score" for some xmod parts - you know why.

Here's one that my daughter did. The only thing she didn't do was cut the chassis, but everything else she did herself. Not bad for an 11 yr old. The only problem with hers is that reverse doesn't work. I tried swapping out motors and checked her wiring/soldering job and everything looks ok, but still no reverse......

Great job as usual

Tell me, how are you securing that third cell? I would've taped them up in a cross "+" but I'm only seeing one black ring on your daughter's rig.
I'm really diggin' the Raceline skidpan

smooth

I like the added detail, minimal but big difference

Damn, now you can produce 2X as much. Must be great to have your daughter interested in modding!

Really like how clean yours looks.

Some more progress.....some good ole KC's and carefully painted HUMMER on the rear bumper (that took about an hour)

I also flipped the wheels which gave me a few extra degrees of pivot without touching the shell. Looks kind of weird, but it works........

Nice idea with the PCB extensions and the front stabilizier clip.

Your daughter did excellent work btw.

I just might have to pick up some H2's. They look real nice in this scale.

Nice work, Hiroto... definitely cool that you're sharin' the hobby with your daughter. Looks like she's a chip off the ol' Bit.

Great work as always hiroto, The extra detail makes it look so much better. I might join in and cut up my MT to give it a try too.
