BAGES FINALLY GOT A 1/10 !

[BAGES]

Hey All

Yes after pestering just about all the regulars here for advice - and becoming a forum whore !gay I have bought a second hand BASHER. And just for the record gents I couldnt be more stoked !lmao
Its a Traxxas Rustler - it is dirty and ugly - perfect for bashing!!

Strangely enough it came only with road tyres ?!?! This is what it looked like........

get it out and get it charging the dirt and the bitumen :P

make a nice little ramp for it too :)

[BAGES]

As the shell was pretty bashed - plain in just blue - ith paint flaking - I got bored and made some pathetic graphics.... Yes they make cause a reaction !throwup but hey I was BORED !lol

[BAGES]

I was really surprised at how well it went - and has the ground clearance and power to bash !super just about anywhere......

Pics after a bash..........

Yeah op - dont worry the neighbours gravel nature-strip, and the dirt mounds on my front yard have been hammered !!!

I have to at some stage clean it up and check everything out - maybe buy a few bits or spares but totally stoked about the purchase - hell cheap too :p

By the way you will pprob notice I blacked out the windows too.......and I stumbled across these guys last night on the net that make adaptors to fit 1/8 Maxx Wheels !!!!!!!!! mmmmmm big rubber !devil

[T4Trasher]

The car looks good!!!!! you got a bargain!!!! hope you enjoy
be careful ig you put bigger wheels on as you will need to change your gearing quite a bit to compensate, if your wanting bigger wheels we have some bigger tyres that would go on the standard rims (you would still need to change your gearing though)

[opAsx]

hehe how did you do the graphics?

doesnt look so bad really for a basher.

sadly enough.. it looks better than the rc18t shell i painted last night :(

[T4Trasher]

If your close to PHC any week day srop in with it and I will see if i have any tips for you on perfomance enhancment that won't break the bank!!!!

[James]

nice basher! get some real truck wheels on there, then go hardcore!

[BAGES]

Cheers Trasher - Thanks for your help too. I wouldnt mind another set of rims with off road tyres - either chromies or all black - do you guys have anything like that? If so how much?? :-)

[BAGES]

Ha ha ha Trasher Im in Canberra - so any parts I buy would be freighted here.......the graphics I made - they are stickers !lmao

[BAGES]

Ha ha ha - true RC - but I dont think I would hold back with a newie - only if it was blinged to the max - but prob be a whole lot more pissed if I broke something new and/or $$$$$ !lol

[T4Trasher]

Bages we don't have any Black truck Rims in stock but do have chrome ones that fit on and have lots of off road tyres as well some quite big that go on standard rims heaps of options!!!!


Sorry I didn't realize you live in Canberra

[BAGES]

WOW - i didnt bling for a Rustler was so cool - seen at ultimatetraxxas.com !!!

Now you've got a project on your hands ;)

[azzachaz]

I've got a set of offroad tyres that you could try out. They are the ones on my Kyosho Sandmaster. Check my thread hiding in the members rides if you want to see

[azzachaz]

Pretty gay but the yellow would go with the blue shell. You can borrow them till you buy a new set

[azzachaz]

sorry, accidently added a hugh picture

[azzachaz]

WTF? jimmy.. could you take out the last few posts?

[azzachaz]

doesn't like pictures with spaces in the name?

e107_files/public/8_picture8.jpg

[BAGES]

sounds good azza - might be able to get a set tomoz though anyway - can anyone tell me what the price range should be for dirt tyres - with and without rims included? (just dont wanna get ripped off locally).........

[azzachaz]

You should have to pay more than $50 for a new set like mine. Fancy shit like Balistc's sand treads will be more

[BAGES]

is that just for tyres or with rims????

[BAGES]

screen shot from move of the rustler - AIR TIME !!! !lmao

[BAGES]

oops - sorry that was a bitmap - try again

[BAGES]

Thought this was funny - I did a bit of a clean up - took it out for a bash - went off the far side of a neighbours driveway down the street - into a HUGE mud puddle - two big roostertails of muddy water to get out and my clean rustler was no more ......... !lmao

e107_files/public/84_dirty.jpg

[BAGES]

No other choice now but to pull out all the electrics and clean BIG TIME !! - these pics are good to show stock chassis setup.....
