From Chris De Graaf (Hemistorm RC): “I’ve started something new to me: styrene building! Using styrene sheets rods, pipes and scraps I’m creating my own ultimate version of the Land Rover Defender, the Kahn designed beefed up version of the original. Larger fenders, a bulkier hood, and tons of custom touches will be scaled down to try making my model look like the 4×4 beast that the Kahn is. In this episode I show you my start, and I hope to take away any insecurity that people might feel when trying new aspects of the hobby. There is a ton of stuff to learn in RC, and styrene building is a nice new element for me to enjoy the hobby even more than I already am.

A few months ago, I did my first attempt at painting up a hard body RC, with the Toyota HiLux body that came with my RC4WD TrailFinder II. It was a nice way for me to experiment with painting such a shell, but I didn’t quite feel like I used the shell to its full potential. After reading up on several forums about true scaling, I have developed an interest for styrene building. Some members on these forums use styrene to build their bodies from scratch! I’m not going to start out too ambitious, but I do feel that with the Land Rover Defender D90 body, I have a great base to make my own alterations, using styrene and filler to get the shell looking the way I want before paint.”

The Traxxas Summit 4×4 is an incredible machine – and with the Dual Motor setup (from Kershaw Designs) I am definitely going to have to upgrade my hub locking mechanism! Those m5 Lock Nuts are simply not enough to hold everything together.

Too bad I snapped an axle, but no big deal – I will look for an upgradable one. LOT’S OF TORQUE in this Big REAPER. Enough to tear its own drive shafts and output drives to peices. I am glad I didn’t go the 900 route with the motors. the 700′s seem ample. ALSO.. I down geared my pinions to 14T (I may go even smaller – to an 11T). These big tires take a HUGE amount of power to move, and turn. The ESC is mildly hot still.. so hopefully the 11T pinions will do the trick.

The Tires are IMEX Jumbo Kongs. (Discontinued though) the Rims are from RC4WD and are also “discontinued”. I am glad I upgraded the plastic Traxxas Servos to the Savox Waterproof Metal Gear servos. I did add aluminum steering horns, to remove any flex from the steering.

I hope you enjoy the video my friends, and maybe some of you may even find it helpful!

My friends & fellow RC ADDiCTS! Here is a VERY Special video that I would like to share with you. let me preface this video by saying this meeting was setup by a young mans Dad (Jason). The young man (Buddy) is actually 4 years old. Several months ago “Buddy” had to undergo heart surgery at age of three. Buddy made it through.. though it was a Very Frightening, and Traumatic experience both for Young Buddy, Parents (Jason & Allison), and Brother (Baby Clive) & Sister (Bugs)!

Turns out that this family was an avid viewer of RC ADVENTURES!

They are also active members on the RCSparks Studio forum.
A conversation was started in a thread on RCSparks, about this situation – and this is how I got to find out what a good little fighter “Buddy” is.. What a CHAM! Ands his parents & family were by his side every step of the way. We are honoured to know this family.

One of the things I promised to this family, is that if “Buddy” pulled through the operation, and he was able to speak/hear.. then I would meet them over skype for a video chat – Right From the Studio! Jason (the father) asked if he could record this meeting for all to see on his YouTube Channel, and for his family to remember.

This is something I never forget.. <3
