Project update: Holy Sh_t!
Maybe it's taboo to talk about build costs but I'll throw it out there anyhow.
I tallied up the grand total to build this project and damn near fell off my chair.
1. Old, worn out RTR EK4 monster truck (complete) $200.00
2. Total cost of factory replacement parts and upgrade parts combined: $848.00
If math serves me right, initial cost of truck ($200) + parts upgrades ($848) =DAMN!
WTH was I thinking?!:\ Guess I went a bit overboard.
Although I kept all the salvageable original parts, the only original parts remaining on the truck is the chassis plate, mud guards, F&R diffs, shock towers,
F&R bulk heads, 1 shock absorber, a few screws , servo mounts, and rear hub carriers.
Fun wise, this project was worth every penny. Performance wise? Time will tell.
Next update: starting, break in, tuning, etc. (when free time allows)
you could have bought a Kyosho STRR truggy for that............or nearly Two Hotbodies D8T...........either way your project looks good.......
