Volcano 1:8 conversion
This is my new ongoing project. Outfitted with a custom carbon fibre plate to extend the rear bulkhead 3 inches, this gives the volcano an overall length of 20 inches. And with the new tires and upgraded suspension, I have a whopping 16 inches of width. Now all thats left is finding a new body for her http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...n/rolleyes.gif
Sorry for the bad pics, it was taken by my phone, updates soon to come. http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/r...09_0341_00.jpg |

RE: Volcano 1:8 conversion
did you change the gear ratio or is it stock?
if it's stock, those huge tires will hurt the bottom end torque. those tires look alot taller than the stock ones...but it could just be the way the pic. was taken. it looks really cool so far!! |

RE: Volcano 1:8 conversion
Wow, she has a nice "rear end" . Kinda gives me an idea on making a hill climber. Just add some length to the rear......... That will keep it from rolling over........
Good Job! [sm=thumbs_up.gif] |
