He paid with some LEDs but I have donated alot of material and building for free. But I can't donate wheels. I already gave 4 stock wheels to it.

Yes it is he has done a sick job on it I never would have been able to pull it off.

Lol I am going to put on the RS off road tires. I have a set of new ones still in the package so those will be replacing the worn ones. The rears are practically brand new lol. Way down the line if i can find 2 sets of aoshamia for a good price and they would fit i would do that but right now I will stick with the RS ones. I like them cause the material and the look of them other wise I would have asked about the swampers lol.

As of right now it will chillz with the RS off road tires. From the looks of it I don't think the Super Swampers would fit lol.

I was about to mention that the project would look even better with a set of Aoshima Super Swampers or even a set of IROKS (if they would even fit) complemented with a nice set of Atomic or GPM wheels. I forgot to include that in my post, but I would strongly consider it somewhere down the line if I were you.

hmm now that you mention it lol and i picture it in my mind...XXX could aoshima swampers fit? or would it be to hard for them to fit or for the motors to turn them all?

TheB1GDude · #45 01-14-2010, 04:07 PM

Looking at the gap between the wheels you could easily get Aoshima swampers on it, my only concern would be the front wheel steering, you might see some rubbing then....

Did I miss it... or is there no body

I assumed you would have something sweet to mount on it but unless I skipped that post I'm not seeing what...

There is a body, just haven't posted photos yet. We have a body but it needs to be altered an built. The body is just being started, and as I am the builder, the vision is Gearhead's so some body decisions are still being made. The base body is a revell 359 peterbilt which needs the nose flattened.

Do you think aoshamia swampers would fit on it?

There is actually more space in front then in the back. In front the swapers have about 1mm of clearance and in the rear they have -1mm of clearance. This is an easy fix and so YES we could mount swampers on her. I would need 2 sets and they need to be new un-modded sets. I can look up a price.

Here is an update:

Front bottom plate

Gearhead wanted a PCB cover, so he got a custom CF Trix cover

Here with the servo hooked up. There has been a change to this which you'll see in the next update.

Here is first glance at the project body. Notice the front end removed for a fix and upgrade, your not autorized to view that yet...LOL.

BulletsRain · #49 01-18-2010, 02:20 PM

Wow, this is awesome! I'm sure it's going to look great when it is done! Keep the updates coming Triple! Great work!

TripleXmodder(akaXXX) · #50 01-18-2010, 04:05 PM

Thanks a lot... so here's an update for you.

Here is what was censored before..not much, but it was early to post it. After some servo problems, I removed it and re-enstalled with a plug.. so since the Micro-T Losi servo is 5 wire, it is a direct hook-up, and not need to destry it by cutting the plug off. It can now be removed and go right back into a Micro-T if needed.

Coming next: New CF rear-end... Super Swampers, and onto the Body.

GearHeadV8 · #51 01-18-2010, 07:21 PM

I can't even wait to see the next update with the swampers. Oh and triple i sent you a pm.

BulletsRain · #52 01-18-2010, 07:41 PM

Swampers will look good on it for sure! That gap is going to get smaller though... I hope they fit!

I lengthed the front and rear, so the spacing will be right to fit the Swampers.

4G63punk · #54 01-18-2010, 07:49 PM

simply amazing! great stuff! i can't wait to see the finished product!

Way to think ahead! I would of made that mistake, and then had to fix it!

brettley · #56 01-18-2010, 08:44 PM

wow, this thing looks mad! i cant wait to see this thing finished! I do have one question though, how are you powering all of this? wouldn't something burn out since you have twice as much the ground contact and everything else?

cycygrace · #57 01-18-2010, 08:44 PM

cannot wait to see it workin you making the shell for it or you gonna have someone else do it?

It has a lith pack, and no there won't be any problem.

I will start the body, and GearheadV8 will be making some design and style disisions.

GearHeadV8 · #59 01-18-2010, 09:00 PM

Any updates on the best yet man?

TripleXmodder(akaXXX) · #60 01-21-2010, 11:01 PM

Got 8 Swampers... I got to tell you these ebay urethane Swampers are great. I like them alot. Here is a comparison of the Swampers and Xmod tires.

What do you guys think ... with or without Beadlock.
