RCP Wreckluse - Axial Based

Post by LoboNYC »

Afternoon Everyone...Its been a while since i posted a thread. I recently had the pleasure of taking out my RCP Wreckluse for a run. I also attached a GoPro to record the fun from Willy's perspective and to share.

Set to 1080 for best resolution.


Enjoy!

PS

I don't think i ever made a build thread for this rig but its one of my favorites. Ive had this rig for 13+ years. It started with an RCP Hobbies Wreckluse chassis. I used an Axial Scorpion AX10 for donor parts. A Novak Brush-less motor ESC combo goat system powers this rig. I built a balsa wood platform for the driver and cooler. A balsa wood battery box is attached to the platform and hinges for the lexan hood are mounted on a wood cross member. in the rear under a lexan panel i built a wooden enclosure for the ESC. The suspension geometry and shocks and suspension links took years to get right. Because the axles have no diffs i built it with 4 wheel steering(extra servo) to get around narrow turns. Willy pilots this rig while he sits on a Futaba receiver. Currently is sports a set of cool Dick Cepeck Aluminum beadlock wheels along with Dick Cepek Mud Country Tires.

Really nice! Great custom build and interior, appreciate the video. What camera are you using for the internal view?

Cool video. I like the confused dog and the bearded guy in the glider.

Thank you.

I used the early version GoPro, silver with no view screen. I attached it to the wreckluse with plastic velcro
