Body Damage is Cool
Hey guy's I'm posting this here because we don't have an isuzu OT forum, and I know a few from over here have some R/C stuff. Anyway I built this alittle while ago, I'm normaly into nitro gas trucks, This is my first electric rock crawler. I built it out of an old clod buster I had. Anyway I thought I'd post this because its a pretty cheap way to wheel in your house <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm only about $150 into it, WAY cheaper then what these normaly cost. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Looks good!

You ought to check out www.rccrawler.com that's the best place for rc crawling info.

A few tips for you if your going to go outside and crawl on the rocks with it.

Move your battery down low as possible. You could even strap it to the upper links.

Lengthen your wheelbase by getting longer links.

Get some new tires smile The stockers dont have much traction

Get some 9 or 10t pinions and adjustable motor mounts. This will gear your truck down and give you more torque and better control. ALso, try some Integy Lathe motors or Kyosho Magnetic Mayhems.

Here's my clod

I wish somebody made a lexan body for these things that is proportional, so it didn't look like a monster truck.


If Mad Max had a 4runner...

Wow man that thing is sweet. How did you build the cage???On mine I welded it, and it didn't come out the best. I used my 220v welder <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />. At first I was just messing around the next one I build will be better. I've got some t-maxx sus parts that I might build one out of too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, this definately looks like a future hobby, when the gas is expensive and the streets are busy, i'll just wheel in my backyard. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Think i'd have to make my own body though....i'm thinking 84 toyota style <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
