sidewinder undone

[Mickey]

ok so i got tired of my imfamous sideways truck it was too heavy to really do anything with so here we go with a redo. pretty typical truck for me, i made a custom steering servo mount, and mounted the throttle servo to the side of a set of 25 tvp's used a variation of banks better ofna mod ( i love the control this set up gives). and some modded shock towers that are about 3/8ths of an inch taller than the ones i made for the sidewinder. put the trusty old k4.6 in it on 18/47 gearing and have one heck of an awesome handling truck. no rsc either

i still need to make a mount for the tank to make it permanent but the zipties work for now. have to also balloon the reciever . let me know what you think guys. i will get some better pics of the shock towers as they are too easy to lower.

[White Wolf]

I swear by the zip ties lol. I miss the sidewinder but the truck is looking sweet.

Make sure to post some vids of u bashing it!!!

Why not just lighten up the sidewinder?? That truck was BA!

 

[Mickey]

i would need to get the chassis milled and there is nowhere local to get it done

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Well that sucks I would have liked to see that truck still around and maybe done in like some Carbon Fiber or something thats light but it is what it is

What are you plans for this truck?

 

[Mickey]

basher/racer there is a new track opening in my area that is going to cater to larger vehicles such as 1/8 monster trucks. all we have around here now is 1/10 tracks that are about 5 feet wide
