After taking apart my R2 and inspecting it - I just wasnt content w/what I saw. Lots of parts already worn out and tolerances on the dig is just out of whack. So I decided to swap it out for an Axial tranny and VP Hurtz.  More to come once conversion gets going. |

Axial to R2 mount adapter plate.   VP servo mount(top) does not clear the floor so made a new mount(bottom) that relocates the interfering mount part to below servo.  All in!  |

Very nice truck! I liked the progression, it was kinda funny watching the tube suddenly multiply. I definitely understand the process of hacking apart a project to improve it. Could I possibly get the specs on the batteries you are using? My project is (once again) limited by the lack of a power source that fits properly. |

After the Axial/VP swap the rear shaft was way too short. These are the Gmade shafts meant for the SCX10 so one is shorter than the other. My application now requires both of them to be long.  Chopped the short one and turned a sleeve.  Brazed back together. Same length now.  Installed.  At full steer, the TSL's are starting to rub on the shock.  Decided to move the shock forward for more tire clearance. Made some tabs to relocate the shock.   Shock relocated. No more tire rub.  Last edited by prifral; 09-13-2010 at 12:59 AM. |

I left my mog sitting in a ditch/tunnel as I moved some rocks. Unknown to me: as I was tending to the trail a friend had staged my mog behind his Hilux - NEAR A CLIFF. You can guess what happened next so here are some photos. Tumbler WAS behind this Hilux.  This is where it ended up(arrow). Atleast 150-175 feet down!  A little info about this cliff area: Very steep and unstable dirt. People die and get stranded here every year. But I couldn't leave Tumbler there to decompose so I planned my route and swapped my slippers for my friend's skate shoes, dislodged 75+ lbs boulders above my route to ensure they didnt rain down on me as I climbed down. Then I lowered myself down. These photos dont really show how steep this place is. It was a controlled slide most of the way. Here I finally got to Tumbler.  On my way up - I was lucky to have kept my Leatherman in my pocket as I had to use it to cut steps in to the side hills. Also lucky I dislodged those boulders in the beginning because I was able to arrange them to help step up/climb a tall ledge. Last bit of the trail I had to take off my pull over and tossed one end to my friend to pull me up. So Tumbler, after tumbling down this cliff suffered some major damages. Mostly in the rear     It would be easy enough to remove the damaged frame parts and repair Tumbler but I think Ill retire this frame and build a new/better frame. Maybe I wont name it Tumbler this time  I look forward to starting a new mog because building this one taught me alot and the next one should be much improved. RIP Tumbler!  |
