Title: rebuilding the bullhead(Up Dated!!)
Post by: haydenlloyd88 on February 24, 2011, 03:08:36 AM
stumbled accross my dads old tamyia bullhead a few weeks ago, needless to say its not in running order.
took it to work today and started building my own frame and chassis around the old clod axles.
everything was made in the shop by myself, i even made the cross rods with the lathe.

i just bought the brushless e revo last weekend,
bought 2 lipo batts for it yesterday.

I had the brushless mamba set up, running dual 11.2 max amp lipo's, one tug of the trigger from a dead stop would do a complete back flip.... AWESOME

so i was at work yesterday working on the chassis for the bullhead when i got a crazy idea for a new chassis design. and i went with it.

i scrapped the frame i was working on and started from scratch with my new idea.
