| It's time, VP Builders kit Build
Wife got me a builders kit for Christmas, been ordering bits the last few weeks for it. Brass portal covers Aluminum bits for transmission (be here tomorrow) Machined transfer case gears Caught the limited edition NSDRC RS800 available over new years so grabbed one. Getting a Fusion Pro 2300kv I think. Though debating on robbing the AXE 2100 out of the knightrunner and putter her back to Holmes brushed. Last night finally cracked this project open finally. Plan was a C1 portal rig build cause they just changed the rules around big time for this year. After assembling the chassis I was holding in my hand going "Houston we have a big f-ing problem, this is built like a tank, going to be too heavy" I was tossing another idea around as to go a scale build direction so now plan B it is. I kind of like plan B better anyway. Let the "little orange monster" do what she was built for even if it means last place. Tonight got the axles assembled, figured it was time to start the thread. Where this build is headed I'm keeping behind the curtain for the moment. Let's just say the Orange taco and the tan C2 hilux body were good learning experiences and time to take it up a notch, or a few. Wheels, I have some rc4wd 1.9 Black rhino wheels I had on the knightrunner till the Toycoma wheels came out. Gonna clean them up and make use of the things I paid too much money for. I did have one "oops". So the builders kit frame bag is the frame kit for the axial based build, I didn't know this, so I assembled it and was staring at it like "there ain't no way that transmission is going in there and that's not where the battery should be" ya, so I downloaded the Phoenix manual lol. Only hint I'll give is as usual, it is Toyota related. Tonight got the axles built! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk Last edited by tigris99; 01-25-2023 at 08:28 PM. |
