Anyone into R/C?

Good stuff! Also, welcome to TW!

 

Does anyone have any experience with BP Custom Chassis? Thinking of turning my Wraith into more of a truck.

Friend had one. Sold it and built a truck and a custom cage for his wraith instead

Well after the axial announcement last week I figured I would take a trip to Walmart and see if they still had the Polaris body....I lucked out....Now to send the servo to hitec and figure out the best way to mount this body......


Also with the Zia scale Nationals approaching, I decided to fully assembled the parts I've been collecting.....
I need to learn to drive it now .... Hard bodies are different than lexan when weight transfers. Also the chassis is a bit different and the shocks need a bit of tuning to get it responding as I expect....also I need to get some time behind the wheel.....

 

I dont have a fancy scale crawler but I'm down to get out and get my ecx temper crawling around.

Going up north today to play in the snow! Going to try to get some rc time in

 

where you located @Egnaro ?

there's a few of us that go out pretty regularly. but we tend to stick to the East side.

 

All of you az guys should check out the Zia scale Nationals. It's in New Mexico. Should be a fun event and national events bring big sponsors and fun all around

 

I'm in gilbert.

No idea where @Egnaro is

 

Hell yeah.. super close. I'll keep you posted next time we head out then. We usually go out on the 88 towards tortilla flats. "Mini Moab" and "Badlands".

 

Im way out on goldfield rd. I go to mini moab all the time.

 

Perfect! If you havent yet.. check out Badlands. It's a little ways past mini.. on the right.

 

That looks like a lot of fun. I'll need to get going on some mods on my Temper. A body at the minimum, right now it looks like a VW bug on 44s

 

I pre ordered a proline metric body. Need to order some knight customs goodies for it. At least the light buckets and grill. Maybe make some bumpers. Finally a 2nd gen body!!

 

I commented on the Instagram post saying it's cool.. and I'll get one.. but the engine model is way off.. haha. Knight customs needs to revisit that. Not even close.

 

I can't do it. I like the 3d printed parts I have but not interested in it at the prices they want. I'd rather have a fully printed body or hard body at 600 fully outfitted I could be well on my way to a vs410

 

Yeah i don’t understand the V8 engine bay..? And $124 for a 3d print rear bumper is ridiculous.

 

lol. they replied back saying, "you dont like LS swaps?"

which I would be fine with.. if it was an LS. lol Looks like a 12v/24v Cummins.

and yeah the prices for some of these 3D printed parts are ridiculous. really makes me want to get back into 3D printing...

I'll probably pick up the body as my Tamiya Bruiser Hilux hardbody is about toast.. then make my own accessories and armor like I did on the Hilux.

 

Thats funny. I thought it was a 1uz or whatever the tundra 4.7 V8 was.

 

I think you're right actually. I just saw the valve cover and intake location and it looked like a Cummins to me. but.. it really does look like a 1uz!
