Hey now! This is an RC forum. Not a go-cart forum. Get that out of here!

 

[Tunedfrog]

I hear ya bud, this thing is unreal. The engine will be here tomorrow.

 

[WickedFog]

Very cool. It's gonna be a really cool RC. Never seen one of these being built, especially with this much aluminum. I hope we get a final weight of this beast when done

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'll post a video of the first start and first and only run.
Still a ways to go but I have lots of parts coming in.
The wife said, OMG what you going to do this winter?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Another step closer.

 

[FJC_GUY]

I always look at 5bs when they come up locally, probably the only way I would ever buy a gasser.

Awesome build.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I love gassers. I want a Kraken Vekta.5

 

[Tunedfrog]

All finished with the front end.

 

[WickedFog]

Man, that is some damn nice machine work. Who makes all these parts? FLM?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Some are FLM but the majority of them come in a unmarked baggie. This build is a shot in the dark and tougher than hell but everything fits like a glove.
We now have a genuine roller.

 

[WickedFog]

Holy crap that's huuuge!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Scary big. When the tank is in and all the electronics, I won't be able to pack out to the truck with my lungs.

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah I bet. You need to build a trailer to pull behind your truck

 

[Tunedfrog]

Trailer hell, I'm gonna pull my bike up the hills lol

I'm in love with another guys mistress

 

[Tunedfrog]

LMAO, that's too funny GW.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I decided the rear bumper was a little much, so I took it off and replaced it with these...

 

[Doom!]

I can't wait to see this when it's finished, it already looks freakin' amazing!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Thanks bud, I think I have all the remaining parts on the way. If anything, it might be a brake part or two.
I can't wait either. I was hoping to get her done before winter set in.

 

[Greywolf74]

Too cool. I love these big 1/5 scales in theory but I dont have space in my hobby room to work on them. I have to do it out in my garage which sucks cuz most of my tools are down in my basement lol
