mini SILVER BULLET...10% of my junk :D

[Booger Weldz]

heres the original(warning the thread is over 100 pages long and a bunch of boobs and beer induced bullshit):

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9009731#post9009731

took a bit more than 8 months to go from bonestock, to full blown, 'street legal' crawler...

i plan to replicate it in 2 months, in 1/10th scale

[Booger Weldz]

i currently have a 'built' axial scorpion with rooster craw,er, 65 turn integy, inboarded links and small mods to make it work better...

also have a bone stock RTR scorpion...

one of these will get to be the drivetrain for the mini SILVER BULLET..probably the RTR so i dont have fook up the very capable RC crawler the other one is.......

[Booger Weldz]

little tube bender, some 1/4'' fuel/brake line from kragen...


...sliders and a front bumper??

[Booger Weldz]

extra cab tundra/tacoma body mounted on axial chassis with homemade bumper for mockup

[Booger Weldz]

front/mid frame rail section, rear will be a tubedout/back halfed truggy version of the original

[Booger Weldz]

i dont know wtf im doing(never had an RC car/truck, except the old rc10 in junior high), so if you know RC crawlers, speak up!!!!!

[Booger Weldz]

body mounted and black 8 hole beadlocks to match the original............

[THEBASHER]

wait until u do rear steer ....so much fun and cheap to do with the right controler ....sweet:flipoff2:

[sloppy12]

rear steer is pretty fun for playing around..

[lilbuddy]

where did you end up getting the body from. I read ion your thread that someone said radio shack. I dont think the radio shack in chico has that stuff. maybe a hobby store???

[Grind]

That's awesome, Boog. Good work, I wish I could do some actual tube work and bumpers to my rig but can't weld and bend that stuff.

I'm converting mine to a droop only comp rig, got rid of my Krawler tires, got some Losi Rock Claws, and put in a special order for some 'custom' comp wheels. ;)

Can't wait to update every body on the revamped Grind rig.


I might have to look your way if I want to convert mine to a truggy & add some tube.
Keep up on the tube work, it's awesome.:D

thats the parma tundra extra cab part # 10156...i paid $24.99...then i just bought the extra cab tacoma body with the funky paint job for $40 from a guy on scale4x4rc.org...i doubt it will fit my current tube work, i think i might be redoing it...guess the first bumper was practise ...im doing a new frame anyhow(too heavy).........

i acutally need to braze the tube or get some .023 wire for my mig and tunr down the settings....i have to grind everything cause the welds are pretty big even as little tacks..............can you elaborate on the droop setup, or post a thread as you do it with pics??

thanks for the compliments!

ive got the linkage and stuff for rear steer off the other truck, but no servo or free channel, maybe i can set them up in sync on the same channel??

sloppy? same sloppy on scale4x4?? :D

I'll keep everyone posted in my rig thread.
I'll show pics of what I'm doin.

yeah but some other tard got just sloppy over here.. who knows I might be that tard and forgot the pass word... :shaking:

you can use Y harness and add a servo to run off of a 2 channel radio but upgrading to 3 channel radio is the better way to go.. full time 4WS kinda sucks..

[THEBASHER]

paul ..get a traxxas TQ3 transmitter(ebay for $25 or so)and a radio shack center-off mini toggle switch,item no. 275-664 for $5 then give me a call ill tell u what to do.......

[Booger Weldz]

heres the third scorpion in the family...fatdog tube chassis, dna front dig, rooster crawler, 4 links front and rear(no more wishbone upper links)...

got one thats all yours if your are interested paul. will this one be built in 1/10 of the time to keep with the theme?

[Grind]

I've seen that tuber somewhere Booger, you get it from eBay or somethin?

[Booger Weldz]

yeah, but im back working on the taco to get some fix it ticket issues taken care of:D

you have a transmitter you wanna sell chris?

[Booger Weldz]

i bought it from a guy here from oklahoma/tx? testykalz is his hilarious screen name

[Booger Weldz]

i thought i read something is up with traxxas receivers and rooster crawlers? the new setup has intermitent loss of power, jerky motions?


the gold bodied one i have just barely twitches a bit at small inputs in steering and throttle, but the new 'buggy' seemingly looses all power and has terets???

[mobil1syn]

pm me you addy

[Booger Weldz]

pm me you addy

done, thanks a lot chris!!!

[Booger Weldz]

having soo much fun driving this thing, im kinda neglecting the frame and tube wrok...

bought a hobbico high torque servo with titanium gears...WOW! this thing can steer the truck off rocks like full hydro...also picked up a set of MIP driveshafts, theyre metal instead of plastic and definitely a step up from the stockers...

[Booger Weldz]

taking dimensions off my sons fat dog chassis and bending tube...maybe ill have a home brew tuber, or maybe ill have an ugly jungle gym type center piece for the dining room table??

the performance of these things is too fun to try and make a scaler(less capable and wide bodied), im now going for a tube chassis rig...wish me luck

Talk about beef, check out the Punisher driveshafts I have on mine.

They're huge when you finally see them in person, heavy as hell. Solid stainless steel!!:D:D

[Booger Weldz]

:shaking:


i think im buying the $149.95 axial axles and tranny setup at ckrc to build the scale rig with a square rail frame and toyota body...ive got a spare receiver to drive both rigs off the new spectrum 3channel i just picked up

nice!

the MIPS are good stuff...ive stripped off the set screw flats on my outputs for the tranny...looking at a set of cdw(?) chromo's to replace them

[sloppy12]

you wont regret the cdw outputs there sweet. plus you can run max shafts much easier.. mip's are nice but maxx shafts are 4 bucks and I have never had one fail yet..

[Booger Weldz]

youre gonna think im retarded, but arent you the guy im suppose to be sending $40 for the extra cab toyota body...im loosing my mind...you had it for sale on rc crawler or scale4x4??? im sorry for being a retard:D

the cdw outputs are like $40 arent they? i think the guy who does the parts is on here with a 1:1 toyota??

yep thats me.. I have not got anything in the mail yet..

and yeah I think CDW outputs are in the 40 dollar range, I didnt really pay attention to the price there a must have upgrade if you start throwin any kinda HP at the trans.. I sheared my rear output right off my stock trans without much effort.. the longer rear shaft let you run a bigger spur and maxx shafts is a huge + in my book..

any yeah I do think yotachump is a member here as well..

[Booger Weldz]

can you PM me your address on here...ill have it in the mail imediately..sorry i cant get on scale4x4 from time to time???

cool, ill have $40 in the mail toady(for real:D)...

[Booger Weldz]

chad and i got bored and redid our crawlers....they even have working LED head and taillights now:D

[Grind]

Sweet man, let's see the lights workin!

[Booger Weldz]

broken knuckle last night in a beer driven king of the mountain RC truck destrction derby:D

blurry LED head abd taillight pics(im hungover and have the shakes:D)

[Grind]

Those LED's are pretty sweet, where's the amber lights!?:flipoff2:
Did you go to the same dude I went to for the LED's?

Yeah, I also broke a drivers side knuckle with my sweet servo in a beer drinking crawling frenzy behind my waterfall, luckily I had those knuckles that come on the rear axle with those little shit links to hold them straight (made for the rear steer conversion), so I could go back out and play. Haven't broken one sense. I really don't have much of a problem running plastic knuckles/C's. I want to get the aluminum clockable C's though so I can adjust my steering camber which would improve my dig I believe.

I got some new parts in, I left my battery charger for my camera up in Bako, so I can't take any pics yet, but I should have it soon. I'll have to wait on the comp conversion for now. Nice pics Booger! hope you feel better today, and I finally recovered from my absinthe sickness just last night.

100% agreed...never go into the 'blow', but the licorice death has made many a morning miserable:D

[Grind]

Jager is horrible too.

Check out a picture I posted on my rigs thread, I got a picture from Mayhem Eng. on my new wheels that were made.:smokin:

[NluvwithXLR8ing]

im driving the tacoma on 40's...its getting about 15-16:flipoff2:

bakerfield is only about 3 hours away, i drove there 5 days a week everyday for about 4 months when i was doing the stairway handrail in the hospital anex

[Grind]

I'm in my Los Angeles home currently. And how do you get that MPG when I run 33's on my Jeep and almost stock :L Heeps fail.:laughing:

Actually its a water run-off just outside of a parking lot. For whatever reason Manteca decided to landscape it with rocks at the bottom, ended up being a great place to crawl. Its man made, but there are plenty of challenging lines.

I will be there wed night. Its somewhat lit at night so seeing isnt a problem in the dark.
