Tekno in the works

[Pat_ranch]

Finally came to the conclusion that my senton just can't hang with my friends' teknos.

Step one, diffs

Rear end

Front end

More to come as I get wrench time

Congrats on the new truck!
What electronics are you planning on going with?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Sweet, congrats.

@Pat_ranch It looks far to clean, isn't there something you can do about that? Lookin good!

Thank you!

Xerun xr8 sct with a 3600kv 3660 G2 sensored motor.

I tested it out in my senton already-----> turned it into a rocket!

I'll gear it for 2s

I'll fix that as soon as I get it running

 

[Pat_ranch]

We'll pause here for the time being. Wifey had a rough day, so I need to pay attention to her now ❤

Got it done enough for a test run with the only 12mm wheels I could find - mx28's.

Now to resist the urge to launch it off the 8' ramp...

From what I have seen that chassis can take whatever you throw at it. Do you have a body picked out for it yet? I was planning on using this one for mine when I build one.

Leaning toward trying to make the proline 56 ford body work.

That would look sweet as hell. Did you build it to the 335mm wheelbase? You could cut a few extra mm out of the front part of the front wheel openings to make that look perfect if so. It's only 10mm short of that. But it's perfect for the shorter wheelbase. Hmm. I may have to consider that one as well.

Update, things work properly, new skins (goosebumps on de wheels) got here and got mounted, and the body looks like it'll play

Trimmed, then padded out, and drilled for posts

I'm a little too tired for huffing paint tonight, so we'll have to try for that tomorrow.

Dude! That body looks f'ing awesome on there. I looked at that body the other day wondering what I could use it on. You nailed it.

Great looking body, definitely makes a short course truck easy on the eyes. They (proline) discontinued the other 56 body that fit on mt410 and Outcast. Idkw it was one of their toughest bodies.

Yeah, I wish they would bring that one back. I would grab a couple of them.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I really like the solid arms.

 

[Greywolf74]

That body is gonna be

 

[Doom!]

She is gonna be a beauty! Like the way it sits.

Paint didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but it'll be sparkly in the sun

It was all blowy & gray today with some rain, so I weren't motivated to get any video. I'll fix that soon

 

[Greywolf74]

I can see the sparkles in it already. Its really gonna shine in the sun
