Hell yeah man that paint job is nice. Do you have a vid on how you did it? I’m waiting on the stubby kit and motor for mine and it will be 13”. I’m almost tempted to try some smaller 2.2” wheel and tires and see how it does. Have you run 2.2’s on the VrD yet?
@christopheresper6144 Thank you! The paint job is pretty simple, I used the dawn dish soap method. There are some videos out there but you basically just use the soap as a liquid mask. I test fit some 5.25" ruptures and it was going to require a lot of cutting.
@sprather84 Price vs performance it's a great tire, if you take price out of the equation it's still really good but not at the same level as like a tusk or rupture.
@bsfunk44 The yokohama version has a fusion pro, agfrc servo, dlux brass knuckles, 21%OD lightweight machined gears, 5.25" jconcepts scorpios w/squid inserts, and amazon wheels. The sparco is my buddies, I know it's a fusion pro, powerhobby servo and the hyrax lp's.
@christopheresper6144 Yes it is. It's a Gspeed v3 with treal capra axles, Amazon 3 gear with dig, fusion pro, 3brc g13 pro servo, Dravtech shocks, in the works rc links for an scx10iii gladiator. Let me know if I missed anything.
Nice man thanks for the reply. I’m new to it but got hooked already with the stance. I just ordered the brazin scale frontline chassis and links for it, need to find an outrunner and get the vfd stubby going. When it cools down I need to get up there, looks awesome! I’m in Rio Rancho
@christopheresper6144 Nice! I've been curious about some of the aftermarket chassis for the VRD but it's been so good on the stock chassis I'm afraid to change it. I run a few holmes crawlmaster v3's with revolvers, a few rhino v80's with various outrunners, and 1 HK hobbies esc and outrunner, the holmes is definitely the best but the HK Hobbies is really good and a little cheaper. Hit me up if you ever make it up this way.
H10 has a considerably longer wheelbase than the capra so the breakover isn't as good but it does have its advantages. Stock vs stock I found the H10 to be much less frustrating to drive than the capra. My capra is a long ways from stock now so I couldn't do a fair comparison.
Hell yeah, I have the VRD arriving tomorrow can’t wait. Are you in ABQ. Is this in the foothills? I’m new to it and looking for spots, I’m in Rio Rancho. Thanks👍
Putting in some work, brother! I'm south in Belen. Just found your channel. Was just in Durango a couple of weeks ago! Probably drove right by.. lol, nice rigs like others keep saying... stay small!
Your builds are freaking awesome. I noticed you do 13” wheel base often is that do mainly to your terrain? Those tires look like 2.2 is that right? I have the injora pin tires and they don’t look as wide though. Are you using larger inserts to fill them out ?
Thank you! 13" is on the short end of what I usually build, and yes it mainly because of our terrain but also because I don't do comps so I'm not worried about dodging gates. These tires are the powerhobby/jetko grabbers, they're just a standard 4.65-4.75" 1.9 tire, I run the standard 4.75" sl3d squid inserts in them. I have a set of the injora pins as well and they are a narrower tire, I use the green injora inserts in mine.
It looks like that Amazon too low is holding up well for you. I’ve had a lot of people say they’re failing immediately. Do you have a link for the one that you’re using?
