1/18 Injora Tarantula 4WS

[Relimar]

Basically complete, need to zip tie a couple things. Dx5 pro radio with the rear steering servo set to the potentiometer knob. Never used 4ws before, looking forward to getting this out on the rocks!

Where did you get the carbon fiber panels?

Four wheel steer is something I thought would be to complicated until I tried it, it's pretty fun. Your Tarantula is looking good!

Custom made, just a 10x10" 1mm thick carbon fiber sheet from Amazon, cut with tin snips and trimmed/sanded.

Thanks! Came out pretty cool looking I thought, the 1/18 are pretty fun to work on. For the next LHS event, I'm going to have to figure out stowage, scale accessories etc. Thinking roof rack with 3d printed chainsaw, gas cans etc. Go from space moon buggy to trail aesthetic some how.

4ws is the bomb! I have it on the AX24 and I wish I could put it on the Element Gatekeeper.

Thank you, I'm going to build a rock bouncer using this chassis and I think carbon fiber looks very nice

~$12. Just keep in mind it is carbon fiber, so try not to create splinters or get dust everywhere. I used tin snips, an x-acto and metal files. The Bend in the hood was done by fixturing the piece in my vice and cracking it just a little bit. Not all the way through, but enough to get the crease.

If you buy a set of Element portal axles and a few other items you could make that happen.

Thank you, I think I'll try that and see how it turns out

Cool, thanks. Looks like AMain Hobbies might be getting more of my money!
