Here are some VIdeo's from Last year, Its well overdue. I finally got around to putting them up on youtube. Sorry guys. They arent great, but I never have anyone to hold the camera.
Break in. After a half a tank of on/off throttle bursts, I let the engine sit for a few seconds to see what the...
Been a while, I finally have some time off so I got the RC's out.
The puller is in need of some Tranny parts. Goind to lock the 3spd into first gear. I would use a two spd but the 3spd has a 10% reduction in first gear. Lower gearing, Better puller.
The reason for the lack of back pressure is...
Hey guys, I have my custom puller nearly completed. I picked it up from the engine builders house over the weekend, I hope you enjoy :D
This was tank 3 of the break in, Obviously not tuned for performance, we were testing the stacks for backpressure issues or heat issues. Anything that we...
Well my project is almost finished. Other than the gearing, and a few odds and ends here and there.

I'm looking to start designing a pulling sled, I'm hoping some of the pro's can chime in and give me some pointers to start out on.
Wheel type / size
Sprocket combination for proper pull length, aka tire rotation to weight movement ratio
Stuff like that, please help a guy out!
Thnx in...
Thx Guys! I don't think it will ever be done.
I made a new, better looking and stronger Bull Bar mount from 1/2" nylon rod. Install's in 5 seconds with no screws, and is solid enough to use as a handle :D
Also, been playing with the idea of having a servo lift the body like a 1:1 MT. Just a...
So here is my painting story.
The first time I painted a body, I had it unwrapped, trimmed, painted
and mounted in about an hour.
This body took about 14 hours over 2 days. To all those out there with
insane painting skillz, I hand you my respect :D .
I first started by trimming up...
I don't expect anyone here to have one of these, but If I could ask a favor that would be cool.
I'm wondering if you guys could check your kijiji's, and craigslists and what have you, maybe poke around your LHS next time your there.
I'm looking for a Challenger II Pulling sled. Its the only...
Bic Lighter under truck for Clearence Reference :D
There she is guys. Ready for a body, engine and the snow to stop :evil:
Under a snowfall warning today. And by the looks of the farmers almanac we have another month+ of snow
Oh I know about his TVP's, And I'll get my set one day :D I started these before he started his. I have not seen any drawings but I know some insider info and can't wait to see the final product. I have a sneaky suspision I even know the member who is going to test them out. lol
SwampDawg, I...
No its XL length, XL rear bone and X front bone. My next build will utilize two XL rear bones. My only regret with this truck so far is not extending the front end. Had I seen where it was going when I started building it, I would have extended the front end and left the rear stock X length.
Purenitro turned me on to that combo, as soon as I saw it I was hooked, even picket up a part time job with a friend for a weekend to get them not now but right now! lol. There is absolutly no bounce with these tires. I can stand on them and they barely compress at all, its a very hard tire, and...
Not so much to reduce sag. I've heard from others with the LST setup that over time the towers tend to droop or bend inwards, or opposite whichever side the shocks are mounted on.
One member on SC had this idea before me, he bulked them up a little different using hellfire parts and claims...
@ Maximus, There are no pulls around me either, The idea was started as a bet between me and co-workers when I showed them a few RC's pulling Cars. Now its gone full tilt and I'm planning on hitting no limit in 2012.
@ Scott, Its powder coating, gives it a deeper color ;) . If you want to...
