Breaking Bad, Fleetwood Bounder

[22fatcat]

I made some good progress today on the bounder, it drives pretty nice too it definitely has some body roll The transmission is from a junfac gmade rock buggy I found on ebay low gears to pull the weight 15lbs [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Looking Real Good! Great job!

[22fatcat]

Hey thanks, It's not a dead ringer but I think it's pretty cool, definitely different.

[Espeefan]

Wow, I haven't checked back in this build for a week or so, and I have to say it's looking really good.

I like the your method of mounting the body from the 2 uprights. You could hide the mounting screws under a couple of air vents.

Hey thanks, I might go with flat heads, i am not going for a super scale build just enough so you get the idea it makes it easier.

love the battery holder!! interesting way to mount servos. I should have done that on my truck!

[22fatcat]

I just try to keep it simple. The servo mounts are done that way on a lot of rc cars in fact I thought I had some plastic ones left over but i didn't and made those out of aluminum

[22fatcat]

I put the paint to it last night, I will start to finish the assembley and post some more pics soon

[flatdeck]

[22fatcat]

well here it is with paint. It's not perfect but I think it's pretty cool just the same. You could go nuts with details on this thing but I think I am going to stop and maybe put it on Ebay and see what happens.[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

It is, it has some serious body roll and it does wheelies. it reminds me of farm truck on Street Outlaws the way it pulls the front tire when you get on the throttle hard from the start.

That looks cool! I was thinking a while back that you needed caster wheels on the back bumper! I've seen that on a few 1:1's.
