Hi all,
Welcome to my project B1G R1G thread it started off life as this model:



A 1:28 scale model of a rig (slightly smaller that then size used by coolcar25th), I did some playing around with trying to get XTruck parts to fit and ended up with this:





Now unfortunately due to the smaller scale model it just wasn't possible to get a decent look, the XTruck stuff was just to big:




So this was when I decided to mix up the scale and use the SSMT rims and tires:



This was a look I was much happier with!



After all who else has an off roading rig! Also decided to throw in my first HS-55 servo conversion:



Also knew I wanted lith power so I had my man BLT456 hook me up with a set of his custom Li-Ions:

Then I set to work on cutting my AWD shaft down to size and shaping it so that I could put a 4WD kit into the rear axles:



So what I had now was a pretty mean chassis but still a bone stock cab! So that got sent to Bondo for some custom paint work:





The flame job is just bad ***! He also did the custom grill work for me!
Whilst Bondo was working on the paint I went about putting my custom CLL kits together, there are two of them:
One is on the back of the cab, it has 4 lights, 2 blue, 1 orange, 1 red, all 4 are always on but the blue light up more when you go forwards and the orange and red light up more in reverse so you get a really cool neon look and feel on the chassis:


The other powers the front lights but unfortunately isn't currently fully functional, you have 4 headlights, all white, then 4 more lights across the top, two red and two orange but currently only the front ones work:


This added lots and lots of wires to the interior of the cab:

Here are few more mixed shots:






and I hope you all enjoyed my project thread!
Thanks!
an xmod monster truck done right.
once you get your axle fixed/put two moters in we want to see you crawl over some big rocks. :D
Its just one servo, I think the problem is the custom 4WD shaft I made for it, its slipping and catching and throwing the servo off balance, maybe I'll remove it and put two hot motors in instead....
8O 8O That is really cool. Looks awesome with the body on. Looks like that one servo works. Does it have one motor or two? I couldn't tell in the video. And if is just one, it sounds like it under a lot of stress and you need another.
Thanks guys!
Here is a video of it without the shell, as you can see it definitely moves:

I'll try to do a better one tomorrow!!
I have an odd feeling that the one servo won't quite do it. Of course, I've never done a servo mod so I wouldn't really know :lol:
Any more plans for this?
Wow, very impressive. 8O
Very nice job.
How does it perform? Any chance we could see a vid of that monster in action?
