Here is my first RC I just bought it about two weeks ago. It now has a black body.
Here are a few specs.
Axial XR10
Tekin T45 Motors
Novak M2 Dig ESC
Spektrum controller
Pro Line Chisel tires with weights & memory foam
7.2 Onyx battery
On order for it:
Castle CC Bec
Two smaller batteries
Hardened gears
my hpi nitro monster king before i sold it , i know nitro's can't crawl but with the horizontally mounted engine and the brace off the rear links it was impressive for a nitro. only thing i did to it was spools, and the imex pullers. the body is actually for the savage next to it but it looked way better on the nitro monster king
Tossed a toyota cab at it from a model kit I had. Added some scale trail damage as well.
The toy cab was nice and all, but I'm a jeep guy, so it needed to go. I had to hack up the grill to clear the steering and it does appear to sit higher, but it works better at the same time. I attribute most of that to moving the battery up to the front axle though.
heres a recent pic of mine. Its been a off and on build/project for close to 2 years. It mainly collects dust b/c I dont want to demolish it now that its driveable. Has custom sheet metal hood and panels. Only thing left to do really is add seats and steering wheel.
Picked up a Wraith last weekend.
Painted hood and roof.
Waiting on side panels, tires and wheels.
