Doom!'s Whatchamacallit 6x6

[Doom!]

The other day when Ali Baba had these SCX24 compatable 6x6 chassis on sale, I decided to splurge and give one a try. It arrived within a weeks time which was pretty decent.

Looks great, I think the shocks are a bit stiff, will probably swap the springs out. One thing to be careful with is to check all the nuts and bolts. There were quite a few loose ones.

Tonight I dropped an Injora servo and motor into it. Don't have a receiver or esc for it yet, unless I raid one of my SCX24's, but I'm not in that big of a hurry.

I'm planning something different for this one. Going to make it a bit SCI-FI.
Something along the lines of these.

Now I have to start coming up witha design for the body, then to actually build it. Going to take a bit, but I don't want to rush it. When I get started I'll post updates.

Glad someone jumped on this. I just have too many other projects. Please let us know what you think and keep us posted on updates. I live vicariously through others. Lol.

Will do, just seemed like a good deal while it was on sale, and a lot cheaper than a new Vanquish. .

Cool, very interesting!

Totally agree. Curious to see what you do with it.

 

[WickedFog]

Nice. I was hoping you'd grab one. Can we see it next to your other 24th scalers?

SciFi project is a great idea for this project. First pix you put up of the NASA van looks like it has solar panels atop. Gonna give solar a shot on this build?

Looking forward to the build. Cheers. 'AC'

Sooo
What and how are we gonna name this thing?

 

[johnnydmd]

That is cool! Quality looks damn good too.

Very cool @Doom! , however these "keeping up with the Joneses" threads is costing me a lot of money.

The master plan is working. Little do we know chubaka wants a trx4 based 6x6 rover. Master plan is apparently working too well.

Shrimp Slayer one!

Hasn't @Chubaka already laid claim to that title?

Nice!

Can't wait to see the body you come up with.

I'm getting a strong armma vibe off that.

One reason I haven't gotten into helis is the one I want has killed a person before.

I used to have an air hogs my last cat Lumpy would swat out of the air.

@Flames77 needs to build an rc version of this!

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with this.
