twas sick...i wish i had the skills man...i'd love to be drivin that thing around...sick part is it looks just like the real thing sus. and handling....i also like how you saved it from a roll over in the vid...nice rig man

[tecnica2001]

Woa, that thing is awesome bro top notch work.

So, speaking about the buggy you mentioned about building, is it gonna be a vw beetle type baja bug?? that'll be awesome

I LOVE IT!!! Man cobra it looks AWESOME. Your builds are second to none.
Maybe you could give it a snakeskin or snake themed paint scheme and you could call it the sidewinder! (On second thought maybe I'll keep that one for myself)
I had a similar idea Mine consisted of a spare tlt axle and the front tranny of a bigwig I had laying in my RC junkyard I of course planned 4wd for mine and I really wanted a toyota body to top it off.

I also watched your vids of it and I love the way it drives, it moves very realistically.

I do have one question though. With the trailing arms how is the rear axle articulation? I assume it's ok because real desert truck use this design but it looks like it would be horrible.
How bout some artic shots ( I know it not a crawler but I still wanna see!)

here ya go... not bad for a prerunner

[elvis]

WOW! Thats impressive
Thanks

turns out the two spare tires from the original nikko truck are much lighter than 2 hilift tires... so I'm leavin them on there so the tread is different... so what... they ARE spares lol... so now I have another full set of hilift tires to run on it when these wear out. I might make a set of deep offset HPI nascar wheels for them.

KC did you see this?

You could use another hornet with a tube frame and some lexan panels to hide the chassis, maybe a TLT axle out back.

I ordered my Nikko today.

[kingcobra]

kinda pointless to use a hornet chassis with a tlt axle... would be simpler to just make a whole tube chassis... I'm not sure what direction the next one will go just yet... should be interesting tho.

So there is gonna be another one?

Remember in order to enter the contest you need to PM me the threads address, just to keep things in order.

I'm also building a prerunner the chassis is almost done but the big problem is that I just can't get a complete body. So I was wondering what body did you used? I realy like the car keep on the great work!
