Truggy almost ready.

Got the BCE chassis built up and 15 tanks of fuel run through the VSpec, but broke a front knuckle today screwing around.

Its fast and handles much better than before the new chassis. Lets get out there!

Mark

that vspec getting even more stronger the more tanks you run through it?? how's the bottom end on it....obviously it has crazy high rpms

Hey Boys, Those V-Specs are fast, I've had 2 regular and 1 JP Mod one. The only thing you should do is break them in on 20% and run 20% or they won't last too long. They're fast but they don't last!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, having run them and my Novarossi 528 Race motor, I can tell you the novarossi will kick their butts. Hands down.

I came home today with my Cen Matrix Pro Kit, a set of Crime fighters, Hitec 5955 servo, a JP-3 pipe, and a couple of parts for my evader. I still have to order 23mm wheels, a body, and my LRP .28 engine (out of stock).

I am excited to get this race-machine built!

ya i got a lrp .28 in my buggy its 2 fast.

We want details....nightly...on how the build is going... ...positives...negatives....throw some pictures on here of the build....LETS SEE IT!! Sounds like you are gonna have it pimped out...VERY NICE!!


outdoor is getting closer and closer!!

I will keep you all posted on my build. I imagine I will get a start on it this weekend but most of the work will be next Wed-Mon.

The LRP is on backorder so I have a little time to get the build on.

I have begun my build and everything is going together well. I am planning on bringing it to the track next weekend.

I think my Matrix went over pretty well at the track this weekend. I am in the process of painting the body the traditional florescent yellow/metalic blue/indy silver paint scheme.

yeah I must say...I was impressed with it....you assembled it....AND...it's still together

I think that is what impressed me the most about it. I would have to say for my first build it was a lot easier than I had thought. Now I did have to ask Ryan and Rick a few questions especially about shimming the diffs. The guys on the other forums were a huge help with set-ups and race mods.

I would recommend a kit build for anyone who is thinking about seriously getting into racing. I have learned a lot.

Let me know what you think, the build is complete.

Very nice indeed!!! That paint job should last...oh...I would say....through the first corner of the first heat race



and I was looking at your pictures and noticed....you have the absolute perfect mesh between your clutch bell and spur gear.......who could have done such a perfect job?? The only person I know that talented is Rob

yea that truggie looks pretty sweet i think the rtr version will do good to but if it came to a drag race jerod's is pretty fast i think it will come down to driving ability

I am going to have to buy a special body for racing. One that does not look so nice.

I paid good money to have that gear mesh perfect. Tell Rob his check is in the mail.

I noticed in the one picture, if you need to refuel, you're screwed, you don't have a wire tie on your fuel tank lid.

When you paint the new body, you should put it on a Jammin CRT Pro, then you'll be ready to rock.

for the money id just buy the matrix rtr version

With how the track is coming together....it won't matter what you are driving...or what motor you have in it....if you don't have good control of your vehicle...you'll be in a world of hurt....should be fun


p.s.......I'll be in a world of hurt

I put a zip tie on the fuel lid after I had taken the pictures. I was in a rush to get the pictures taken , because I was using a friend's digital camera.

I think I am going to keep the matrix and let you guys drive your Jammins. Give me a few weeks and then we will see who can drive.

The track progress was looking good when I left. I am planning on getting out their on Sunday. Roger their is a shovel with your name on it.

I'm thinking the muggy will certainly be testing the track Sunday.....actually....the track will be testing the muggy....actually....I will just drive like an idiot and we'll see what happens...

Nino, your truck looks good. The only thing I didn't really like was the dog bones for the diff universals. You better hope that 28 isn't a fuel hog, or you'll be fueling when those 21's are passing by.

That will give everyone a chance to catch up to me.

I'll wave as you pass me consistantly

Nino, the only way i will catch up to you is when I'm lapping you again.

I don't even have a come-back for that.
I am really looking forward to getting out on the track
