I can't wait to see more build pictures, this thing is going to be sick!

It means you can't wait to see more build pictures. :shrug:

Get this thing running already Chip, LOL!!! looks like a heel of a battery this thing should fly!!!!!

 

[Lessen]

Yeah, I wanna see it go too. C'mon Chip!

Update !!!!!

The front of the truck would be towards your left in this picture. The "notch" on the far side will be for the spur gear armor.

Bottom view. This shows the relief cut for the side skirt mounts and the machining to maintain strength under the battery but still providing structure.

More to come soon......

No a buddy of mine, I am working on a brushless conversion kit for the SC8 and RC8T to convert them from nitro to electric.

Pretty slick Chip. I didn't realize you were doing any one-off custom work to it. Very cool!

What advantages will your kit have over Associated's conversion kit?

 

[flm_savage]

It won't be produced by the man

American made.
If you break it, I will relpace it for life with original receipt.
Aluminum front center diff bulkhead.
Aluminum servo mount.
Battery box has a blast shield for the battery.
I don't really plan to sell this.

It won't be produced by the man

Uhhh no, it will be built not talked about......

For the loaf of bread (Battery)

Looks good, what modeling software do you use? Are you machining the parts yourself or having them done? Just curious because I like making custom parts too.

A friend is doing this for me, I think it is SoildWorks. I know he has a Haas CNC mill.

 

[Racer 1966]

Cool, Solidworks is what I use. I have ran many HAAS, currently using a Miltronics and Fryer.

i think this battery tray will set standards in the sc8 division

nice work this is gone to be one clean truck

Wow. That's a purdy piece of work there Mr. Chip. Your eye for detail combined with an expert fabricator could produce some truly stunning products.

Thank you sir, I still have a few things up my sleve.

 

[LosiLST]

Wow chip, I'm not anywhere close to a fan of electric and this thing makes me want one




Wait a minute....It almost did, then the realization of it being electric hit.:

Nice build. It's awesome to be able to build something and have it be 'yours'. i'd love to see it run, of course with a nitro engine running behind me so I can act like it's nitro. lol
