my new beast FG MT
 

well heres pics of my new beast .
i allready had to do a repair job [ i glanced the gutter and broke a rear axle ] where the dogbone/drive shaft ball sits in . but i welded it up and put a peice of pipe on for added strength and it seems to be holding ok [ untill i get another one .]
i cant put the front brake kit in yet cause i need long cable holders as the cable fouls on the upper suspension arm with the short holders on .

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

I love seeing pics of new trucks. Look at how shiny those rims are. Now go tear it up.[sm=shades_smile.gif]

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

That looks great

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

Getting there .. looks nice , is your lid painted ?
hope you keep this one .lol

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

You bought the wrong brake kit. You bought the kit for the marder models, you need the one for the monster models.

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

That brake kit works fine on it. You just need the longer cables for the front ;)

Your truck is set up almost the same as mine but with a 2 speed and disc on all 4 corners [X(] that sucker must rippppp !
The failsave is a sweet item. I wish everyone drove a truck with them on it.
You may want to also replace the dif with the upgraded one in a few gas tanks. You are going to be tearing it up for sure.

Have a blast !

Lets see that body on it too.. ;)

RE: my new beast FG MT

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

Yeah the second tank feels very different than the first, I was really surprised.

RE: my new beast FG MT

Awesome, Hey Jas, Where did u get that VOltage Thing to tell how much life s left in the battery?, and also does it go into the spare 3rd channel, or does it go plug into the battery, then the VOltage thing plugs into the reciever?

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

hey ,
i got the voltage meter from amain hobbies [ but u can buy them in aus]
and i have it running from the reciver , i have the battery pack going through a Y lead into the steering slot on the reciver .
as the 3rd channel slot has been taken up by the remote ignition kill switch setup .

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

well a bit of a update ,
the truckl has be running great , but i did have 2 drama`s one was the tyre insert [ on left rear ] some how came unglued and i had to take the tyre off the rim [ as it was unbalanced ] and 2nd was the long right hand side bowd cable got chewed up in the diff [ my fault as it must not have been out of the way enough] but apart from that every things good ...

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

How u managed to remove the tire off the rim?Did u re-use all the parts ?
The shell looks awesome mate...

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

Hey Jazrx

Just wondering what your break in procedure is? getting my first petrol marder soon myself.

Oh the truck looks sweeeeet!

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

yeah i reused all the parts , i used glue debonder on most of it and the rest the tire had started to come away from the rim.

RE: my new beast FG MT
 

COOL job from jasrx. Nice work with the body. More simplier than ever :D

RE: my new beast FG MT
