my bonzer cross tiger

[notatoy]

hi guys ,i have had this bonzer cross tiger about two years now , never have had a problem with it these are just a copy of the tamiya tl01 chassie all parts from the tamiya range fit this truck ,in the course of its life i have installed a high tourq all metal gear servo and a lrp runner reverse + esc i have kept the motor stock it is a 560 motor these trucks have very high gearing , and a stock 540 does not have enough tourq to cope with it , hence the 560 . any how i was getting bored with the look of the bonzer so i decided to install .yes wait for it a set of newbright wheels and tiers , they are a little bigger in diameter and wider than stock bonzer wheels , my method again was to cut the bonzer rims in half and with very strong glue bond them inside the newbright rims this kept the 14mm hex fitting needed for the bonzer , i think it looks much better now and has more of a monster truck look . it is not finished yet i still have 3 rims to rework ,but iam pleased with the results . here are some pics .....http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0012-9.jpg

[Taylor]

[LSXEric]

[notatoy]

i think there cool, a little big but cool nonetheless.:Dthanks taylor ,they do look big ,but it is a trick of they eye if you look close at the pics you will see they are not much bigger than the stock bonzer , the bonzer had small rims and a big side wall tier , much like a rockcrawler , but these newbright wheels have big rims and very little side wall .they are bigger there is no dought . but not that much , thanks taylor :D

[notatoy]

BL system seems overkill in the truck with it's limited suspension capabilities, but it does move out quite smartly.

You're right, I'm wrong.
It handles like a Revo.
I watched the wrong video.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

hehe....:D thats funny, you remind me of me, when i get into an argument i just say whatever youre right im wrong. notatoy i think he meant that with a clod type suspension, not independent, when it hits bumps the whole truck bounces, much like if you took two sticks and but 4 bouncy balls on the ends if it landed level the whole thing would move not just one tire, in the video when it hit the bumps the whole truck bounced and whereas independent suspension would have just let one tire "roll" over it instead of the whole truck. you see what im sayin? not trying to be smart or nothin but i think thats what he meant.
The truck is awesome though. its seems as if its got way to much torque and not enough top end. but once again cool nonetheless.:D

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

Very cool body and wing!! Looks like a great basher

Very cool body and wing!! Looks like a great basherthanks tmaxx junkie ,the wing i installed myself ,from a old Subaru shell i had .:D

[notatoy]

well all 4 wheels completed now , looking much better and a increase in speed . also i was so impressed with the 600 graupner motors that i whent a head and orderd another for the bonzer this motor is different from the bug is ball bearing supported and a 8.4 volt , and will replace the stock 560 that is in the bonzer ... pics ...:eek:..http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0008-11.jpg...http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0006-15.jpg..http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0005-19.jpg....http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0004-20.jpg...http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM00021-1.jpg.....http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM00011-2.jpg...http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0007-11.jpg....
