My 2WD brushed Torment

[RampantRC]

First post. Bought this truck new a month ago. Beat the snot out of it constantly. Doesn't look much like a Torment anymore.



-Stock spur/pinion gears
-Titan 12T motor
-Slash body w/ custom anti-parachute holes
-ECX metal gear set w/ AeroShell Grease 33 airframe grease (aka Boeing BMS 3-33)
-TRB RC bearings
-SpeedTreads tires/wheels
-T-Bone Racing front bumper w/ 1oz wheel weight
-RPM steering rack (w/ bearings)/caster blocks/hubs/knuckles
-VXL shocks w/ 50wt oil
-Rustler driveshafts
-VXL adjustable links/turnbuckles (not installed)
-GoPro mount on roof + aluminum arm



Overall, this truck has been extremely durable. The only times it has problems is when I beat the crap out of it and do things I shouldn't do, like drive up a sand/salt mound and then immediately plow through muddy, gritty water. Yay corrosion!

It's a helluva unit to get back in R/C with after 25 years. Great truck to learn on, upgrade, experiment, etc.

Good looking truck. Do you have any photos under the lid?

There's some vague ones on www.instagram.com/rampant_rc, but nothing since working on it this past weekend, and nothing worth taking pics of anyway. Stock electronics/motor don't make for very intriguing photos.

These do not match...

It was probably stock in the stampede he pulled it from

Ok, stock as in "still brushed". Besides, other than the color of the sticker, you can't tell it's a 12T.

If by "stampede", you mean "store shelf", then, yes indeed.

Teach me how to Dougie.

Booyah.

T-Bones all the way!

New stock front arms, RPM knuckles, caster blocks, steering rack, & traxxas adjustable links (adjuatable steering arms and rear links coming soon).

Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder how it'll look with my set of 2.8 Talons. These body colors are a little <lisp> festive </lisp>, but it was 1/2 price.

Well, we had gotten the servo/horn replaced on Ryan's truck, so we stopped for a little running at a nice rest area in NorCal, where I promptly stripped the gears on MY servo. This pic is from the day before my truck went all Caitlyn with the Ruckus body.



I now have a Spektrum metal gear servo (180oz). We'll see how that changes things.

I present: The Torckus!

Wow that looks... wrong... and fun... but still wrong. I think it's the massive underbite from the bumper.

What are anti parachute holes?
