Project:- Patriot Hummer
Well as everyone is starting to give sneak peaks of there entries for the XMS Independence Day themed July COTM I figured I would let you all in what my entry is going to be....
I'm not going with a model body conversion instead just using a H2 Hummer I picked up in a trade with someone (Sorry I've forgotten who) its been converted to an SUT which I'm tidying up a little.... Here are few pictures of my progress so far: Possible electronics: Oh and just to be clear this is nothing like how it looks now just wanted to give you all something to think about.....

Big, I could steal your paint scheme from that little pic right there, but I don't do comps. But that looks like it's gonna be an awesome truck when revealed!

OK guys the chassis is done:
HPI AM 2 Channel Hobby Grade Receiver powered by stock XMODs battery tray, custom ProPulse oversized tires: 9g Micro Servo for drive, with custom motor mounts: 9g Micro Servo for steering, this is held down with hot glue and double-sided tape so I would like to improve on this prior to entering the competition: Custom L-Arm hooks the drive servo to the tie rod to provide steering: Another shot of the ESC and custom motor mount: Couple of full chassis shots: Body is almost ready but I'm not up for revealing it just yet

Have you had a chance to drive it yet? Feeling a pair of the ProPulse tires I have laying out around here they may not be a bad alternative when it comes to crawling tires. Certainly gives you plenty of ground clearance as well as a somewhat sticky material. Good idea!
Can't wait to see the body. Any teaser shots? Cheers, Kyle.

More photos:
Did front and rear bumpsteer mod to straighten the oversize tires a little. Tided up my cable ties and color coordinated them. Trying to tidy up the hot glue by smoothing it out a little. Oh and I just wanted to add that this was a budget build It may not be the cleanest Xmod you've ever seen but the whole thing was done from basically spare parts, total cost came to about $25..... Oh and oh and oh... I'm not quite ready to reveal but I'll give you this to keep you all interested: Enjoy
