Project "Rock"

[shortcourse5117]

Way back four years ago I got my first R/C which was a Ruckus with the plan to make and keep it a budget basher. Well four years later all I've broken was one driveshaft, gears, and an receiver wire. Needless to say I'm eager to upgrade it, so it's becoming an overkill project to bring out its full potential. Now even though it was a budget project I do have a couple upgrades done to the truck.
#1 ECX metal gears
#2 Duratrax Six Pack MT tires (got free in big squid R/C contest)
#3 Hobbyking waterproof brushless combo 4500kv
It's named "Rock" because I jumped it off a rock wall into a rock and it took it like a rock lol.

Closer look at combo. I also ordered a 1966 f100 body, and an RPM gear cover! Should be in by the end of the week.

How are the tires? Do they balloon at speed? Do you have a pic of it not sitting on the stand?

 

[shortcourse5117]

Great! Awesome traction in the loose stuff and no traction rolling on road. Yes, you looking for action shots or just sitting still?

 

[MonkeyFist]

Just sitting still would be great.

Here is one



This one will probably help the most



Yes I know the esc fell off in the one pic lol, and new gear cover and body for "Rock" came in!!!

Gear cover on, and body painted

I love the F100!! Is that just a 1/10 body?

@Evergreen247 100x better than stock. Better grip on concrete, dirt, snow, grass everything. Thanks! @SGT.GAINZ . Yes sir Pro-line monster truck body. Only problem is you have to chop up the fenders quite a bit so the tires don't rub. Even with the body posts raised all the way.
