I hope to still finish the Grand hood. However I need to shoot some promotional video for a manufacturer with the truck and needed to get something on there quickly.

Harley0706 · 04-12-2012, 09:02 PM

Skins are on! I'm very pleased with the look.

Harley0706 · 07-30-2012, 07:20 AM

Any of you guys that have an RCC screen name, jump over to this thread and vote on the TTC rigs. This rig is #7, vote for your top 12 though.

Impressive build!! super clean design/execution.

Is this the servo you are using or only for mock-up? I need to replace the as-2 in my sons rtr. I'm RC stupid, but some reading pointed me to the hs-7995tg. Then I spotted this. At $32 it seems like an "affordable" option for a truck that just gets bashed around the yard/trails. Thanks

Sorry I missed this post. That servo was only a place holder. I use the Futaba BLS157 servos, over 500oz/in of power, but they run about $200.

Harley0706 · 09-24-2012, 12:00 PM

I've been working on getting the rig prepared for the TTC even in Lucia, WA next weekend. I had to go through and waterproof everything first and also get a winch installed.

I am out of room under the hood for a winch but I already had where it was going to get placed in mind.

Knocked out a quick mount.

Harley0706 · 09-24-2012, 12:00 PM

I was going to use the Hayok winch controller but got instant smoke out of it. So I went with a Mamba 25 I had laying around, already waterproof which is a plus!

Getting the line to the front will be handled by some 3/16" brake line. I will weld on some tabs for mounting tomorrow.

I will also have a fairlead up front front to keep the line from fraying on the edge of the brake line. I may still try and get a flare tool before I leave but thats low on the priority list.

I built a bracket up front already, I just have to braze on a gusset to secure the tube.

frdtrkguy · 09-24-2012, 09:04 PM

Looks good! I wonder what happened to the winch controller? Ive had nothing but good luck out of the Heyok controllers.

It's hard to say, HeyOK did contact me and said that I may have had an earlier version. He is sending me a replacement, which he did NOT have to do. Great service from him. I'll use his controller on the Doodlebug project

woodyoakes · 09-25-2012, 09:59 AM

That's badassss!! I want one!

I'm building the bigger brother to that one!!

I've been keeping an eye on your build. Looks like you'll have a great looking rig in the end. I'm ready to see all the KOH '13 build threads fire up!

Harley0706 · 10-08-2012, 10:20 AM

The TTC up in Oregon was a blast! A bunch of pics started rolling in, enjoy.

These shots are from Scale4x4Aliance (Pointman).

Truck Pull - Full pull both times. The last one was a little more eventful

Harley0706 · 10-08-2012, 10:21 AM

A couple more from Pointman

Mud Pit - Fried my BEC about 3/4 way through and shut down the system.

Catching some air on the obstacle course! I finished this course with seconds to spare. I was the first one to complete it.

Harley0706 · 10-08-2012, 10:21 AM

These shots came from Frenchblue.

Frame twister I believe.
