SPOT'S PAGE
Welcome to Spot's Page!
Spot is an R/C mutant that started out as a Kyosho USA-1 Monster Truck. Now it has a custom-built (by me) 6WD chassis!
As usual, click on the thumbnails to see a larger picture.
To give you an idea of the scale: That's a 6" ruler against the front tire in the first picture above... You can also see how much lower the bodywork sits on the chassis than it does now (that was taken before I made room for the batteries).
In the second picture above, you can see the "primary" body modified to fit over the batteries. The "secondary" body (shown in the third picture) attaches to it (with Velcro(tm)) and will contain lights and so on. It's more for show than regular banging around in the yard.
These three shots are "artists misconceptions".
Spot likes to play in the snow too!
Like the waterproof bodywork?
This is the pink-foam Aliens APC body:
It's made in sections, and is really strong (I've already run it head-on into a brick)!
I'm finally finished upgrading Spots suspension with Sassy Chassis goodies! Seemed to make sense to widen it now that the wheelbase is TWICE that of a stock USA-1!
You may begin drooling now...
Bend THIS!
These are some of the early chassis shots:
This is the camcorder and housing. I'm working on a wireless camera for Spot so I can get better video.
