Nice man!!!! Always love seeing ur rigs, the paint scheme is flawless... if ya don't mind me asking, why sensorless combo? What is the pros and cons?
Thx, gdude
How much did you have to modify body or chassis to make that body fit. I love the look of that ARRMA body.
Thank you!
Haven't got around to soldering all my ESCs and LiPos to run the Castle 6.5mm connectors. Thinking of running a center mount motor w/dual batteries and would do all my updated wiring/connectors at that time for my sensored Tekin system.
In other words... I'm lazy!
The only thing I modified on the body was to trim the front a little to not "flap" and the back to go around the rear shocks. I was going to flip the rear A-arms and mount the shocks in the behind the A-arms, but I forgot and only remembered after I cut it already.
I also reamed holes on the sides to put M4 bolts in to mount the Pro-Line body caps:

AWESOME BUILD Squeegie. It looks fantastic. Makes me want to start another build. Darn you.
wow, awesome job!!
I like the styling and stance. Good choice of tire. Looks like an Indy car
That thing looks evil!!!

Man! That thing looks like it's doing 100 mph sitting still! Excellent job! Question, did you ever finish your Toyota build?

Dude that thing looks SICK! Sinister even. I dig the paint. What color is it?

Thanks for the props guys!
I ran the Tundra body a few times before I changed it to this. The Tundra body was just a "had to do" because I have a 1:1 Tundra.
The paints are by Spazstix. Colors are Ultimate Mirror Chrome, Ultimate Black Backer, and Candy Black Window Tint.
I got carried away with the tint and the windows are just about limo tint!

Nice. You should put that against some TCs to see how it goes
Guess who's back.
Back again.
Very impressive the grandson called it the Batman car, I could look at that all day.
Man with that body/tire combo that beast looks ready to rip! Awesome job once again!
If you had a good vertical picture I would use it as my phone background that's how much I love it lol

RC. an addiction I'm proud of
That's the best looking backslash I have ever seen. The paint and the Typhon body are perfect.
Sweet. Looks like a scorpion
"Scorpion" was the name of my previous backslash!

Squeegie my man, that is one beautiful and mean looking car you've built yourself there. Where do you get your inspiration from? And, have you ever built something that was a flop?
Its alright son I'll fix it when you break it
Inspiration? Right here. If not for this forum, my rig (and wallet) would be very different.
Have not made a body flop yet. I have an active imagination and can picture most of what I want before I get it in hand. The problem is that I always want to make different changes. That said, I already have a "vision" on a speed runner and most parts to do it, but that means that I would have to change this one... and I just finished it!
I wish I had the $$$ to just build a whole new rig...

Squeegie that looks freakin awesome. Thanks for giving me some new ideas! I have always liked how you always seem to find a way to mount different bodies on your different builds. Keep it up!

I have so many ideas in my head but I just don't have the money to actually buy the parts I need.Looks awesome.
The parts for this build have been collecting since February of 2017 or earlier.
Just take your time... eventually it will look like you've envisioned it!

Alright thanks for the advice. Where would be a good place to start?
It all depends on your vision...

Looks beautiful! Do have any running videos with those slicks on? Also I've seen people have chipping issues with spaz chrome, but they had an offroad rig that tumbled a lot, it actually deterred me from doing a chrome finish on my last slash 2wd revision, hope it's working for you, though!
Well, I just ordered an arrma body to put on the back slash. Hope you don't mind squeegie.

No, I don't mind. If I did, I wouldn't have posted pictures of mine.
All I ask is that you post pics of yours when you finish.
I would love to see pics of your version.![]()

If it works as it should, who really cares what it looks like.
What really matters is that you have fun building it!![]()

It would be great to see a running video of your insane creation Squeegie![]()
I ask way to many questions
