Well the 4X4 R/C scene is warming up.
There's a few of us trying to get an RC RockCrawl Comp going....Yeah it's largely driven by the owner of the MudCow - but there's actually a range of pretty hardcore r/c's out there....
My poor old cloddy is now in peices as I strip out the old chassis - I've started cutting up the Ally sections that will become the new chassis....
Also snapped an axle in the Rock Garden I've made in my backyard (much to my wife's delight ;) )....
BTW Lexx I told you that I've now got an ESC didn't I? Well I've also now got on order a very rare 8tooth pinion which will greatly step the speed down from the stock 13T pinion.....This is great fun - but man a few hours extra in the day would be nice :D
8T!!!!!!!!!! Sheezzz Wooders if I new about the MUD COW etc last year I might have tried to get a better deal out of ya!!!! [img]graemlins/headspin.gif[/img] I've got my eyes on an E-MAXX at the moment, and what type of mods I can do to that. Good to hear you got yourself an ESC, world of difference mate.
Deane, nice vechile!!!! I've got a pair of Serpent VETEQ 4wd 1/8th cars and i just don't use them enough compaired to the off road r/c's. All my buggies are Kyosho (MP6 and 2 Inferno's) so good choice in manufacturer Deane, are you looking at racing or just a car park hoon? And welcome to the world of "Flame Out" with nitro. [img]graemlins/ukliam2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/ukliam2.gif[/img] So at the next Kyosho Cup can we look forward to an AUSJEEP 1/8th racing team? :D

Parking lot innitially.
Who knows, i got it for 400 bucks brand spanking new! these sell in hobby shops for 675!
anyway will be building it this week.
cant wait
The RC jeep willy's electric is a real fun.
If you get a bunch of them to race its a real hoot. And they dont squeel like the petrol ones so back yard events arnt a pain to all. [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
Get a jeep willy's rc car!
and they dont cost the world..even if they are modified [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
Haven't attached the ESC yet - but I went with a Novak SuperRooster....Jezz I've now spent 7xtimes the original purchase cost in mods :eek:
BTW the plan with the old manual Speed controller servo is to relocate it directly on the rear axle for steering and relocate the servo used for both front & back, to directly on the front - should give me MUCH more turning power.
LOL I think the only thing left from the original cloddy is the axles, wheels & tyres [img]tongue.gif[/img]
