at this scale you could totally get away with springs
even rubber tubing glued in place or heat shrink.

when i wuz a pup i made a balsa boat that was powered by a 130 motor.
the motor and prop shaft were joined with rubber tubing, it never slipped or came apart

Betty, you just gave me a bad idea. It has to deal with xmod elecs and foam.

And the PimP said, "Let there be light!"

I just finished getting 6 LEDs wired up under this liberty body. Now for some putty, paint, bitpimp decals and she is done

Of course these lights stay on all the time as well.

And here is one to show how much articulation im getting with the body(She climbed that all on her own)

Enjoy,

Any suggestions

I think it was a good move painting the rims same color as the trim. I too don't always like my rims to stand out too much out of the color combos. Plus i am not a big fan of white rims, but if you liked them, then you gotta do what's best for your interests. Personally a dark color rim on a bad ass crawler is mean!

Well, i finished her all up for the contest (im sure ill change things later on but time was an issue) SHe runs great and i must say its the most fun ive ever had with an se

I put the aluminum skid plate, painted the trim, wheels, roof rack/lights and put a few bitpimp decals on the hood and skid plate to finish it off.

Enjoy,

I'd really like to see video of this thing being put to the test.
Any chance of that?
