eviltwincustoms Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Nice work, are you using original Tamiya TLT axles or are those after market from RC4WD.com? If you aren't aware of this site, they make all kinds of aftermarket SCALE axles ranging from Scale RC 1.9-2.2 and even the BigBoy stuff in 1/8 scale. When I was in RC, I use to purchase stuff from them quite a bit, so I can vouch for their product. Nice work on both the Drag truck and the tanker! I never could get into the RC Semi's, to rich for my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tanker you are building you might as well add the small castle receiver and a lipo battery and a small servo for steering, put it all up under the cab or inside the tank. You are building an awesome scale RC. You should post that up on some of the RC sites as well, there are a lot of great Scale scratch builders on them as well. Your Tanker looks like a MANN... Check out RCRockcrawler.com, The "Large Scale" They have a bunch of MANN trucks that are extremely detailed! This is where I use to always hang out when I did 1/10 scale custom 4WD crawler/Truggies all the time.

eviltwincustoms Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 This thing is crazy HUGE! Just how long is the tanker? and What did you say you were going to build the tank part out of? This would be one fun RC to take out on a Trials course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be one fun RC to take out on a Trials course... i have a couple of different ways to go on tanker. shes 35inch right now, but the time im done im thinking arround 39inch. but the time im down i would say arround the truck isnt really built for trailing as the articulation is really limited.

eviltwincustoms Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Joe, do you have it set up so both sets of front wheel sets turn to help with the radius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semijoe Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Joe, do you have it set up so both sets of front wheel sets turn to help with the radius? the front axle is 100% steer and the 2nd axle is about 80% steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
