Re: Baloo's 1/10 MB 3850 (ish) Mammoth RC4WD Blackwell Beast 6WD thread

That body is spot on. It's really hard to find semi truck body's that are in the true 1:10 range. I love it! Subscribed.

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Glad you are enjoying the thread. I have been seriously lacking in the time dept. lately but I'm getting back into it now.

I have decided to move the Cross 8x8 to it's own thread....

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Thanks. I cant wait to get some paint laid down over the chassis so it looks like a 1:1 military paint job! The driveline does concern me some. my biggest fear is the little brass planetary gears not...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Well after testing a few different paint colors I had laying around, Ive decided to try and match the darker green of Capo's anodizing. Ive ordered some darker greens in hopes of getting a closer...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Thanks! You can find the screws at RC4WD and Locked Up Rc. Personally I like the locked up screws better. They seem to have crisper edges all the way around and are true round stock. Unlike the m3...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

One of the front wheels was really wobbly. Found out why the screws were loose and one backed out all together
