GSBuickman's Traxxas Villain IV

[gsbuickman]

Hello everybody, I already have this in the main show off your boat section. Since its an ol' skool scaler, it belongs here too.
I acquired this gem for my fleet, and I love it. It's an original Traxxas Villain IV with a few upgrades.

Astro Flight 212D Hydro 75 amp esc

HiTech HS-645MG metal gear hi torque steering servo
Twin Octura X447 props
Tactic TTX240 receiver

I get a good laugh whenever I look at the original 84' 2 stick Traxxas radio.
I am not using it, but its kinda cool to have and gives it the Original' look. I will run it as is for now, but I will be updating her soon. I'll build it like Make a Wake's "wolf in sheep's clothing" or run twin sub ten turn brushed motors ?, it might be cool.

It'll look a lot more scale after i detail out the interior. Thanks for the advice Wake'.

I think I may have to dig something up to get in to this scale(ish) thing you guys got going on.Geez GS,I think I may still have a couple of those old Astroflight ESC's around too.I like the look of the Villain.I wonder what else is out there.

Hows it going Steve ?, hope your enjoying the Budweiser. did ya try the idea of using a u-joint to connect the motor shaft to the factory drive shaft ?. I thought it was promising ?.

I am glad they started a scale boat area finally. R/C's seem to have went to scale fever. I've always been fond of the old skool scale look. Thanks to Make A Wake' he gave me some sweet ideas for mine. I'll be glad when I get it done. Check out Wakes' new build, its sweet.

I hope you find something pretty quick, I'll see it here when ya do !!!!!

It's Shawn,just thought I'd nip that quick.
Haven't gotten to the Miss Bud yet other than purchasing a motor mount and checking into what it is constructed from.It is glass and something.I've got a Hacker motor for her,2630 kv so I'll run her on 3s2p,also ordered a FC 160 speedy too.
I've got this thing to get going as a scale yachtmums_pics_163.jpg
It's a old school Graupner Portofino.It currently runs a 4ch with the sundeck lifting,bilge pump and a series/parallel switch.
