Maxximum Attack, here ya' go.


detail of the chssis

I wish they had evo's here so that I could buy one if I had the money. I just love how the H2 looks. It really seems to be rea and I am diggin the rooftack. But I agree about painting the chassis chrome or black. They just dont seem to be in line with the body. But nevertheless great work and succes with the roof.

I'm assuming that the body is just resting on the chassis. But I was hoping it'd fit and be alot lower, low enough to hide the bottom of the chassis. Then it would look correct. So, not even with modds like cutting the driveshaft and cutting the rear clip to make them shorter would work?

No, i don't think it would work. configuration of the rear pivot part would not allow the easy chop. But if you are going for the rally look try 1/24 scale models, they look very good.

Are those stock wheels and tires or did you get those elsewhere? I like how clean the chassis looks I will have to post my Overland as a comparison just got finished painting the body for it and I think those wheels and tires would look good on it!

the rims are stock H2 and the tires are from the lift kt. the original rims of the lift kit are pretty cool, riveted deep dish.
you might be able to use tires on OL rims
SWG, did you notice your post count

some updated pics. ever since the striped rear dog bone (will post pic if needed) I went for a different look.

Reversed upgrade black truck rims.


These two pics are showing the difference in amount of forced flash used.
more for the pic above and less for the one bellow

this set up makes truck a lot more stable at speed runs.

got dog bones chewed up


BTW, lego tires work nice with them rims above.

Aww yeah, I remember this thread... RS should pay you commission, Ynad, because I think your the one that sold me on the Evo trucks, and I haven't been disappointed.

So ya stripped your dogbones huh? I was wondering how long before you'd have problems with that hot motor. I distorted the outdrive on my diff within 30 seconds of putting a stage 2 motor in it. I'm thinking this was due to the 2wd, and having tons of bite the carpet. It also seems it had something to do with the pins on the dogbones being too short, so it spun inside the outdrive. This guy at TinyRC put metal pins in his dog bones, and I was gonna look into that so I wouldn't have a problem again.

(look about 2/3 of the way down the page) That should fix your stripped dogbone too.

Had any other probs with that motor? Stock FETs holding up? You running the stock gear still? I'm running the Stage 2 with a 10-tooth pinion, and the 25-tooth idler, and its getting pretty hot.


I checked out that vid, and it coming out all tiny, like an inch and a half wide, is that right?

Getting way off track, haven't heard Accept in a while. That was cool. Ever heard their album Restless and Wild? That was like the ballsy shit that led me into my speed metal years. Loved that album.

commision from RS
Thanks for the link, i was just thinking about placing some metal sticks.
i'd say C cups are next. so as part of my idea for the fix metal stix wraped in heat srink to soften the impact. I'm gonna go for stage 2 instead of SO 3.
FETS are fine (plastic cover melted a bit) and gears are stock.
as for the vid, i tried to fit it into our gallery will post link to a better version.
ACCEPT RULES! my teenage years i spend as metalhead.

Now That's PIMP ! Whup Dat Trick, Whup Dat Trick !

DT, you're da' man
i like the way you put it. short and simple
