speedyd's purple people eater!!!!

[speedyd]

well after what has seemed like FOREVER, here is my king kong AKA the purple people eater. it has dual servos for steering,3000mah rx pack,steel c&d gears, pipe and an engine that has been modified by myself.
i ran a tank of fuel through it today and it rips! the extra care taken in the driveline shows.the engine is very responsive,thanks to the cy crank and lightened piston. the porting and walbro work very well together. and it has a very broad power band. soon i will get some vids up!
i would like to thank:
imex for all of their help pulling this project together
looker2756(rcu member, largescalerc employee) for the paint work.
and all of you guys for giving us a place to share our addiction!!!

wow!!! sweet paint job, your girls are gonna love that, real nice work from looker...
thanks for posting pics... now go and get her dirty!!
are you gonna run it with that filter?

[speedyd]

i am planning on getting a 5b air filter on it. ive got a cat5 but it is too dusty around here for a paper filter. i have put two tanks through it without any problems at all. i will get some vids posted soon, this thing runs like a champ!

nice job mucker way out there for the paint combi you aren't turning on us are you lol ;D
oh did you put any petrol tubing in your input +out put drive cups this helps prolong the diff as it takes up the vibrating to the cups and take up any play in between

just atip for ye so when do we get to se this baby in action then come on stop teasing us

[speedyd]

yeah ,when i put this together i used every little trick i could think of!every dog bone is centered with tubing.
the thing that impresses me the most is how well this thing moves. my 5b has hostile insane gears, a 28.5 and side dominator( it is basicly a land missle), but this truck can hang pretty well with it. i want to get my fg tires and wheels on so i can get some good footage.

i have the stock red body that i will beat on. this body was done for my girls and will only see grassy fields and light running. i could also see a beetle body on it.
