using up some odd bits....with Grizzly results!

What do ya get when you have a chassis cut too short, some random towers, and 5 big grizzly tires laying around? Well...you get a short wheelbase mid motor short arm monster truck lol.

If you have to ask why, your not as drunk as I!
hey, that rhymes lol

More to come!

It's a runner

I will add, after running a couple packs thru it...its actually quite stable. Wheelies on very high traction surfaces from a dead stop or reverse of course, but otherwise it just gets "light". Jumps awesome too! I figured short wheelbase would be tailheavy, it is flat as can be in the air

I dont have anyone to video right now, but Ill get some video at some point I promise.

LOL! That is pretty cool looking! So I bet your turning radius is that of a air craft carrier.

I did not realize you were a poet too.

It turns better than the grizzly

I like it.

What'd you do to adapt the wheels?

Post by **GoMachV** » Mon Dec 08, 2014 6:56 pm

B44 front wheel hexes are perfect and slide right onto 3/16 rear axles. Front isT4.2 with the same b44 adapters.

Looks great Jeff..... B.A. tires

Post by **Kyoshojoe** » Mon Dec 08, 2014 7:49 pm

That looks like fun. Now it needs some tube bumpers and maybe some lights. Might even be cool with a roll cage under the body and maybe a wheelie bar for some catwalks.

Cool, just 12mm hexes? I was thinking you'd need axle extensions like with Blackfoot wheels.

Nope they are a shallow hub wheel. I have three more....maybe a trike next lol!

Not 12mm tho, these are like 10mm or so. 12 would have been too easy! It's whatever b44 fronts are
