Project Mini Giant!!!
Hey guys! Im starting a project truck and im not exactly sure what i should do. Its the Venom Racing Mini giant and it has some mods so far but no where near what i want it to be. I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on what i should do. I think brushless is next but after that i dont know what i should add.

RE: Project Mini Giant!!!
It depends on how far you want to go with it. Brushless would be awesome, and it will fly, but you have to remember that the vmg isn't stable at high speeds. Most guys turn them into a crawler, which is cool, but I prefer a trail truck. Due to lack of funds/2 vmg's lying around/boredom, I have conjured up my mini giant. Twin motors and trannys, aluminum chassis, and front mounted servo. I have a strech kit, but havent got around to lengthening the driveshafts. Took some work, but it was worth it.

My Mini Giant is setup with a Tekin Mini Rage Brushless and the AON 300 motor with a 12 tooth pinion and it will pull up in a wheelie while cruisin' half speed. A lot of torque in this setup, I really need a wheelie bar.

Tigger N. Bennie, It's pretty ironic that you just happen to be in this thread. I'm the guy that pm'ed you a couple months ago to compliment you on your collection. I was going to post some pics of my pets in that thread you started, but I can't find the disk with the pics on it. The only one I have now is of my sisters cat with my RS4. I have a bunch of other pet pics, but not with r/c's. How are Tigger and Bennie doing these days? I hope you are all good![8D]

By the way, I did upgrade the VMG with the optional battery pack. It may even get some exercise when the new indoor offroad track opens.
