veerryy nice man you gotta post pics of all the things you did to it so i can get ideas

[rims']

how much do those things cost? i got mine for my b-day
btw how do you take off the body without breaking a hole in the top?

[bullfrog]

ok there are five screws two in the front towards the front wheels two in the rear towards the rear wheels and one RIGHT in the middle to get acces to the middle one youll have to remove the batteries and youll see it. as for the price the canned heat itself costs 20 bux. ill type a step by step thing of what i did to make it this large and i will include pics.

wow man that is awesome!!!! warhawk wats up? why did you say HOW DARE YOU !!! ???

[HumbleEagle487]

bullfrog have u ever been to rcmt.net? There are a unch of people on that that make canned heats into monster trucks and speed demons, people have also put hobby electronics in em. Of and bull I wouldn't suggest 4 cells after a while it'll burn the cirect board out, 3 cells is safer. I'm thinking about putting lights on my ram. Oh also to get more speed u can use some of the tamiya dash motors for mini 4wd slot cars(I think they're for slot cars). I'm also thinking about putting in working suspension on my canned heat.

[rims']

humble that is sooo cool you gotta post pics man!!

[Jo_bomb17]

MAN, thats just too sweet!I got to build me one of those! :D

[HumbleEagle487]

warhawk, I havn't built it yet, its my other winter project.

[rims']

o i see i'm tryin to raise a canned heat cherokee to a mt but i need ideas first cuz all the ones i've made broke or cought fire literally! :eek: :eek:

[bullfrog]

war why the hell did u send me an e mail saying how dare u!!!!??? i want an answer NOW

[HumbleEagle487]

frog, watch the language man. Just be patient with warhawk, I have a feeling that is he keeps it up he'll be banned.

[bullfrog]

ooookkkk im sorry.

[bullfrog]

ok guys here is what i did. well first i took off the body and set it aside. then i unsodlered the wires leading to the batt case and attached them to the batteries one of the wires was just a prong so i just replaced the prong with a wire. then i removed the tires and test fitted the mt wheels i found that the rims attached to the mt wheels like a puzzle piece but then i later found that the truck would not be able to turn! so what i did was i carved out the front sides of the chassis to allow the big tires to clear the side of the chassis i also found that the rear tires would scrape the chassis so all i did was pushed the tire toward the inside of the rim. i then glued the wheels to the rims and let them set to dry. after that i took it for its first test run IT WORKED!!!!! so i picked it up and attached the body on . there really isnt a certain way to attach it but i used the two front body mounts and taped those to the batt. and i used a spring to get some body bounce ( to make it look real) then i looked at it and decided that it needed a makeover the rims didnt match the body and they were an ugly red and yellow color so i scraped all of the " flashy" paint off the body and painted the rims a dark blue color MUCH BETTER! here are some pics to help you understand what i did. http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=2&courtesy=1 http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=3&courtesy=1 http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=4&courtesy=1

humble and bullfrog..i am a good friend of mike's...well you know him as warhawk51. he has alot of messed up personal things going on in his life now and his only way of getting away from it all is his rc's and typing so he types a lot on these boards he wont be on for a while but he told me to apollogise to everyone on this b.b. that he is sorry for disturbing all of youre posts and wasting youre time he wont be on for a week and a half because he is going on vacation in florida......it is something to help him relax.

[bullfrog]

yes i did and your point?

[HumbleEagle487]

Dude warhawk and jag and frog, u guys gotta calm down, ftgt asked a question and u guys have been to busy to answer him with you little bikkering. Frog man your distroying your own post by replying to warhawk and jag amn. Just let it drop. Sheese, don't make this turn into an HPI forum. :D

[Obi112]

Bullfrog, your right... Warhawk created a new name just to make himself look (and feel) better.

And how do I know this? In the Painting forum, Jaguar posted that Jeep's wife posted a picture of him before. And that thread was from at least a month ago, but Jaguar only registered yesterday.

Oh, plus the fact that warhawk and Jaguar's posts are minutes apart... at 3 am...

[XXXER]

Guys, Jaguar IS warhawk, I checked the IP adresses, and they are way too close to eachother. I will be informing Steve about this. Which name do you want to keep?

In light of the topic, I picked up a new Canned Heat the other day, I have already ordered a new Tamyia motor, it will be in a week from today, actually, I got the S2000, which, apparently has a better circuit board, than all of the others. I also ordered the pinion puller, as requested by the pros at RCMT.net, those guys were really helpful. I also plan on putting on some monster truck tires myself, but I plan on doing a little better job, than strapping tape...

I will keep you all posted.

[rims']

xxxer i prefer warhawk51 i was just messing with bullfrog. actually the account was for my brother but he doesnt want one so i was using it to mess with bullfrog ...sorry...

[Randy]

that is cool. i build an on-road car out of a modle. i made the chassas with brass tubing. the body is a 70 chevell. it is pewered by a super 16 slot car motor, i managed to get an esc and recever in it. it has a 6 cell battery pack in it (made with rechargible "AA") it gose fast but the run time aint to much. (sorry there arnt any pics of mine i dont have a way to get any)
i hop ur monster never catches me driveing down the hall way or im lible to get run over. i like ur creation.

[bullfrog]

i knew it i knew it steve thanks for that bit of info. o and i didnt tape the wheels onto the rims i used 5 min. epoxy. o and im STILL working on getting those shots for u.

[draggerman11]

Randy: Awesome! my favoeite car(and year) I presume it has the SS 454 w/ cowl induction?

[XXXER]

bullfroggy man, you got me so mixed up, my name is Steve Bylund, not Steve Pond, he is back in Connecticut, with the rest of the RCCA guys, I am just a volunteer moderator, that is all.

warhawk, I am sorry, but I do not believe you, that that was for your brother.

[bullfrog]

Hey FTGT racer here are the pics you wanted .... i had to remove the batterie to get a good view of the spring setup. http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=5&courtesy=1 http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=6&courtesy=1 http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=7&courtesy=1 http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=mrfrogger25&album_id=34714&image_id=8&courtesy=1
