What, do you think all I do is sit behind the computer all day? Well ok, I work in software design, so yeah, that's pretty much true, by day. But when the evenings & weekends come (yesss!), I sometimes manage to tear myself away from the rest of real life and work some alchemy in the workshop.

Below are what projects I've managed to come up with so far that actually look like vehicles, including those that are still on the bench awaiting completion. I try to share all of the gory details so that others can benefit from my mistakes and the occasional good idea. If you have any questions or comments, please post them on the forums so you can get feedback from not just me, but the rest of the great RC community out there!

-"The JANG"


Project 21

2008 - UltimateRC.com

The 4WD, 1:8 scale, brushless CORR truck that made the Traxxas Slash look like a toy.

 

XXX-Tyranus

2003 - UltimateRC.com

Mix one part BL motor, one part graphite, one part Dremel work and three parts pure insanity. Plug it in and take cover.

Ultimate Street Sport

Unfinished - UltimateTraxxas.com

Bringing a sorely-needed dousing of pride to Traxxas' worst vehicle platform since 1987.

 

Ultimate Bit Char-G

2003 - UltimateRC.com

Two inches long and a truly ballistic 5mph!

[Unnamed] Mini-T

Unfinished - MiniOffRoaders.com

Taming the most power (540-sized BL and 10 cells) ever put into a Mini-T.

 

Underland: The Un-Overland

2003 - MiniOffRoaders.com

Before the development of the Overland, this was an attempt to bring offroad capabilities to the diminutive Mini-Z.

The Major

2007 - UltimateTamiya.com

Total transformation of a humble TT01 into an unstoppable drifter that commands respect even standing still.

 

Ultimate Bandit

2002 - UltimateTraxxas.com

From pathetic to ultimate in 30 days. An eBay special reworked with vast amounts of carbon fiber & graphite and a ridiculous powerplant on a ridiculous timetable.

Heli-Max Axe EZ

2007 - UltimateRC.com

My very first hobby-level aircraft project.

 

6x4 Bit Char-G (discontinued)

2002 - UltimateRC.com

The first "4WD" articulated ultra-micro RC project -- never finished.

Cool Cat

2007 - UltimateTraxxas.com

A fun resto-mod of what was Traxxas' very first vehicle.

 

Ultimate Stampede

2002 - UltimateTraxxas.com

Stretching out a classic for better handling and more fun than ever.

Daemonsbane

2006 - UltimateTraxxas.com

Pure evil. In radio controlled form.

 

Ultimate What The?

2002 - UltimateTraxxas.com

What do you do when you collect too many extra parts from too many vehicles? Put them all together!

Mini-Giant: Evolution

2006 - MiniOffRoaders.com

A ground-up redesign turning a micro monster truck into a low-slung carbon fiber & Delrin tough truck

 

RallyE-Maxx

2002 - UltimateTraxxas.com

The final phase of the Ultimate E-Maxx: Spyder project, making a 1/8th scale rally car out of what was once a monster truck!

TRX-4

2005 - UltimateTraxxas.com

The 4WD buggy Traxxas never made -- total conversion of an electric 4-Tec.

 

Ultimate E-Maxx: Spyder

2001 - UltimateTraxxas.com

One of the most-watched projects in the pioneering days of electric Maxxes and modern high-powered custom brushless rigs.

Mad Jedi

2003 - KyoshoMonster.com

If Yoda had a Kyosho Mad Force...

 

Ultimate E-Maxx: Valkylrie

2001 - UltimateTraxxas.com

An exercise in complete and utter excess. Twin B50 brushless motors, 20 cells, aluminum beadlocks... ouch.

Ultimate Rustler

2003 - UltimateTraxxas.com

The little RTR underdog that not only could, but did. Winner of 22 podium finishes against Losi & Associated trucks.
