Another truck??? ....
 
Yup, got another xtruck a while ago, this is how it looks when I first got it in the mail.

Then I installed a lift kit and relocated the batteries. (Great for wheelie)

But I still not satisfied with it, so I deiced to go with 2.4GHz PCB, the xmods PCB just doesn't works for me, very slow response and can't even turn. So I installed the 2.4GHz PCB on it now with the stock mini-z AWD motor. The wheels are Aoshima Super swampers (brand new), Kyosho mulit off-set rims with AM alum. lug nuts. I'm still not happy with the drivetrain, its very rough. I'm planning of getting some bearings, better motor and some GPM for it.

On/off switch have been mounted on the side of the chassis, so it won't get turn off by the rocks while going off-road.

Very professional looking install. Good to see some quality trucks again

kendallcschm 10-31-2009 04:03 PM

nice job.. put a nice f-150 body on that and it will look **** good!

acerpower 10-31-2009 10:10 PM

nice truck does it have the 4wd kit? I just took the 4x4 kit out of my zmod truck, it has too much power robbing friction for me.
The Xmod pcb is always the first thing to go in all my xmods, but 2.4gz must be really nice.

i belive they are mini-z awd modified rims

nice work on the install 2.4g in an xtruck thats kinda insane :)

Dr. Kustom 11-01-2009 04:44 PM

Thanks for all the great feedback guys! At the moment, this truck is only RWD, but I got a NIB 4WD coming soon, also ordered F/R GPM aluminum knuckles, shielded bearing set, atomic ball bearings stock motor, and a model kit. As for what model it is, take a guess. =p

GearHeadV8 11-01-2009 04:50 PM

is it a.....ford F350 ??? lol

kendallcschm 11-01-2009 05:54 PM

Just tell what body your gonna use!!! Toyota heilix? Ford f-350?? Spill the beans

taiwanesekid05 11-01-2009 06:04 PM

I hope it's the Hilux... So it'd be like the Top Gear Polar Expedition Hilux :D

Haha, the answer is.... Mitsubishi Pajero, I will be making it into another arctic truck.

Can't wait to see it! Maybe I'll base my Tamiya Pajero off of this micro one; although that seems a little backwards? Lol.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Dr. Kustom 11-05-2009 06:32 PM

Thanks Kyle, the Pajero model kit I ordered is a 4 door version. Should be in by tomorrow. I got the 4WD upgrade in the mail few days ago and just got my AM shielded bearings and AM stock bb motor in the mail today.

Here's a video of the xtruck in action. Not a perfect video, only had 1 hand to drive it while the other hand is holding the camera.

DAYUM!!!! I say lift it just alittle bit do some wide fenders and leave it white.

That is just so cool looking and its just sitting on it lol

imnotmikal 11-06-2009 07:45 PM

^^
+1

But don't "leave" it white...
I think a flat white with flat black accents would look badass

Dr. Kustom 11-06-2009 09:51 PM

Thanks guys! The pics above isn't mount yet, the body was just sitting on top of the wheels, I'm planning on making this looks like an arctic truck. I haven't make up my mind on the color yet, so if any of you have any suggestion, I would like to hear about it. =]

Update: The start of the wheel well.
