Truckzilla Finally here

[TRDStreetFighter]

Finally... my Truckzilla kit w/o tires came in today...

even came with a rotostart back plate

 

[FastEddy]

That engine and the bones look "Beefy".
Please take lots of photos and document your buildup for the rest of us.

Grats you lucky dog.

Is that the .46 conversion that they have out. My buddy just bought that conversion and he said that it is just awesome.

 

[GilBeQuick]

The head on that thing is HUGE! I bet that engine will belt out some serious torque.

You posted the pics of the parts at 2:58 today, it's about 4:40 right now...you got that thing broken in yet?!?!

 

[pee wee]

That looks like something I could see myself doing. How much is the kit? Let us know how it all goes. Get som vids if you can. good luck.

 

[gutterboy]

If it is the .46 conversion I think my buddy paid around 300 bones or a little more. If I am not mistaken I think he told me that the head is just as big as his fist. Thats massive.

4th tank break in.....

I OPEN A CAN OF WHOOP AZZ!


still breakin it in properly.... so far I am

VERY IMPRESS with it

and I am running on the stock tires... after break in I'll put the Mayhems on

I didn't build it on my 2nd Savage...

took my WASP engine out and an added the long chasis and engine..

I am probably going to build the stock one with the WASP 26..

I paid $225 for it...

and $225 well worth it so far... but more reviews once it is full broken in

 

[GilBeQuick]

How much extra is it to get the bigger wheels and tires?

 

[30%NitroBoy]

That engine is just sickely large..hehe. Can't wait to c how she turns out bro.

Peace

$310 for w/tires
$230 for w/o tires now

on www.meganitro.com

$80 difference

but I say get the w/o tires package and you can get the tires and wheels for $60... Mayhem tires not Pychos... Pychos cost more so $80 does sound right..

 

[newnitrofan]

That really does look like a quality kit. Can't wait for the review on it and some vids. I am really surprised that engine for being as large as it is that they made it a side exhaust kind of odd to me!!

 

[TRDStreetFighter]

the extend chasis is thicker and longer...
They give a new set of screws

The Clutch bell i huge and Thick as a mug... no strippin here..

The Engine is massive... tomorrow I am going to run it fully on both stock and Mayhem tires

The engine is huge... I e-mailed Nova to make a head for it

I didn't take down the tree till I got my Truckzilla kit.. that was my x-mas gift to myself...:

Oh yeah on stock tires it pulled wheelies with the extend chasis

 

[TRDStreetFighter]

continued the break in today...
8th tank total...
@ 50% throttle with the Mayhem tires...
it really pulled like full throttle on my WASP 26
cut through sluggish snow
3 inch powder snow
and thick snow...
Tuning is MUCH eaiser...
fuel play is still the same so far since I am only running @ 50%
20% nitro

instructions say to use the pull start first before tossin on the roto

NO WAY
.26 was hard enough
.46 impossible..
just used my drill gun to start it so I don't break my rotostart

One-way bearing is the same as the 21bb engine





I don't think I will go back to the WASP 26..
I started building the 2nd Savage with the WASP

I am starting to feel like I should sell my WASP

 

[woody]

Man that thing is huge! Makes me wish I would have bought a savage! Better yet, that will be my next RC purchase. Hey by the way, what kind of steering servo are you using for those big 'ol tires?? Just curious!

 

[newnitrofan]

Curious as to why you think you should sell your wasp. You had nothing but positives to say about it before the truckzilla.

 

[Alein]

He got the taste of the power of the truckzilla .46:classic:

 

[30%NitroBoy]

Did somone say sweet? If not then I am..hehe.

That's a mean phucking machine their brotha, have a blast with it and be sure to get a vid or two up if possible.

Peace

1 inch longer... same as all extended chasis made by HB.. i don' t know if the original extended chasis by HB have a cut out on the TVP for the engine mount...

but they are thicker than stock
