SSR Scratch Build

Post by Omygosh3629 »

Hey,

I was at wallyworld awhile back and saw this SSR and another to be mentioned after this build is done. They both have full interiors, Big Rims, Cast metal bodies. Im gonna paint this one up beacuse im not too fond of the Red/White scheme. Specs are:

Custom made pan chassis
Custom Rear axle
ZZMT Green motor
Single cell battery
ZZSE electronics
ZZSE front end

Here are the pics:

You can polish a terd all you want, but in the end all you get is a shiny terd.

It looks very cool.

I'm wondering about using CA to hold the motor in place. I think you may want to think of a way of bolting it in with a metal strap.

well this project took a sudden right turn,
theres nothing left on the chassis but the rear axle.
I CA'd the Dash onto the body itself, the interior is gone, the only thing left is the part that locates the body on the chassis, but im prob gonna can that also.

And the steering gearbox is bigger than i thought, and the board is bigger than a ZZMT, so i might end up using a ZZMT board, but prob not, the battery is going to have to be cut open and re soldered into side by side.

Pics later, this went from looking like a quickie to a long term one.
