The build of "Wh4t3v3rs"

[618 Syndicate]

Whats your favorite one???? I loved my MRC stadium truck (electric), Kyosho MP5 4wd buggy (gas), and my HPI AWD on road with 2 speed tranny (electric).... They all had every aluminum, titanium, or carbon fiber upgrade... I made my own batteries, they ranged from 1800 to 3600mAh, built my own gas engines! Polished and ported what I could! Absolutely loved the hobby!

I have a modified Axial SCX10 that I use for crawling, and the Xmaxx is ridiculous, but honestly I probably have the most stupid fun with the HPI Savage Flux. It has an aftermarket 6s motor and esc, and will do standing doubles, 20 mph rolling flips, and wheelie on command at 40+ It's been more durable so far than the E-Revo. For on road I have a 4tec 2.0 that will be fun, and I'm building a 2wd slash into a drag car to sell. I figured out pretty early on that having just one wasn't gonna cut it, so I looked for guys that were getting out of the hobby and bought up a couple of large lots. Fixed and sold what I didn't want to recoup my money, and kept the rest.
Building your own batteries and motors is hella impressive, I'm not that creative!

Best practice tip - don't set your tools on your truck. Get a rolling cart. It's too easy to forget and leave a wrench sitting there when you bolt everything back together, then you can't find your wrench until it bounces out, catches the fan, and gouges your radiator.

I don't like telling people how to do their work over the internet, for all I know you're more experienced than I am, but that bottom picture made me cringe. And, yes, sometimes I slip up and do that too.

Hey, thanks for the tip and the heads up! No slip! That's where I put em! Lol its all good thou, I promise. I believe you have nothing but my best intentions in mind!!! And I'm grateful for that!!! Thank you sir!

If you aren't using a lot of tools on a job, something I've used before to corral them is a cardboard tray box like sports drinks or sodas or juice bottles come in. Even ones for canned goods are good if they're big enough. And these are free at your local grocery or big box stores. And if it gets torn up or grungy, just trash/recycle it and get another one. Another thing I learned working in a grocery store stocking shelves.

Little sneak peak of the front suspension with 3" lowering lower control arms, upper control arms, stock springs, and the tires. I just used the factory spring for now. My coilovers will be the last thing I buy. I want to put the truck on a set of scales after its complete with me in it, and let Viking help me with the springs.....

Looking good, all of it. I was watching your buddies out there on YouTube yesterday, the Christmas tree wagon is dope, but that trailblazer is making some serious power.
But that Isuzu pup is my favorite!
