Been a rough go lately. Life is full of kicks to the nuts sometimes. Wrenching helps.

Here's another spare parts therapy build.

Ingredients:
3s swb chassis, kraton/oc arms (jbi had em on clearance awhile back. I stocked up) 2600kv surpass, firma 150 (glad diffs are cheap), and some random nuts & bolts. No clue what pinion I put on it (whiskey may have been involved... or might be now... or both?). 17t seems to be my go-to lately, so we'll assume I did that...

Just gotta cannibalize an arrow shaft to fab some shock bushings and maybe steal the backflip lp's off Ex-broken while I mull over the idea of mo-javing that...

anywho, we'll call it "Clump" for now (11 year old son named it)

Oh, yeah, talion exb shocks from jennys. It might end up with a Trabant body, who knows?
 
Clump the Camarostang is alive!

I had to chop up a broken carbon arrow shaft for shock bushings, and the bumpers ain't likely to stay, but it'll run. I'll get it painted up this week, then shoe goo & drywall tape for stress areas.
It drives pretty planted on 3s with the belted trenchers. 4s ought to be a ton of fun, and 6s will likely be dangerous. Once I figger out how to land such a short wheelbase I'll grab some video. It should be a hoot at the skate park!
I also want to hit up one of you printing geniuses to make me a blower, or turbos, or some sort of hood scoop to hide the front body pins
 
Pearly white (based it with the teal/purple color changer). Gonna be purty in the sun!

And a basic black backer for the inevitable shoe goo to stick to

Total time invested was less than an hour. Hopefully it'll look like I spent more time on it in the daylight 🤣

It's got a sexy stance if ya ask me...
