I had comp yesterday. It was not good day for me. First course was almost clean had 1 reverse. Course 2 I dove off a ledge, broke both stock axail cvd pins and chewed up the front ring gear.

I put the cvd's back together with gunnar no drill pins.

Don't know what to for the front.

Other than the mishap on course 2 you smoked course 1. The truck is so smooth and stable Eric, great work on it. For the axle/diff issue, try it again, but leave maybe an 1/8" more ring gear. You loose that much in ground clearance, but your still ahead of the game, and then you still have the portals!

STANG KILLA SS · 04-16-2012, 02:46 PM

agreed. that thing was just plain cheating on course 1!

In prep of txrcrca annual "rock the lake" comp. I wanted to make sure taco was ready to go. I had a 4ch rx laying around and been wanting to add rear winch. I put order in RPP for new motor to freshen up old 3racing winch I already had. I already have Heyok winch controller. Added MTHead fairlead to stock winch plate.

I also thanks Szczerba I shaved down axial hubs and fit good.

I been having trouble with cvd pin coming out. To fix it for now. I used 2 O-rings on each cvd.

I also ordered new OD gears. Super happy that the new gears are pinned for the driveshafts.

eric113 · 06-01-2012, 08:08 PM

Little more work tonight.

I made mounts out of 22g sheet metal for hi lift jack.

I also shaved down the hubs for my ripsaw wheels too.

So, what IS your "junk" controller? Is it a 3 racing?

Everything about this truck screams "hey you! I'm F(*&KING AWESOME!"

I've been staring at this thread for days! Awesome rig bud!

Ned-fisch · 08-04-2012, 06:43 AM

That looks sick Eric!
I've got a rc4wd bed on the way that is very similar to yours, if not the same. Did you need shorter shocks to mount the shocks like that?
I've got 90-95mm Powerstrokes, and I am hoping it will work like yours has.

I acually had these shocks laying around and ended up working out perfect. They 3racing MLST 66mm (eye to eye) shocks, I did use Traxxas rod end which made them to 70-75mm. I think 90-95mm is going to make the rear end sit high.

Oh yeah, thats cool. I believe the 90-95mm shocks would be too big then..
Do you mind showing me where I can purchase a set of 3racing MLST 66mm shocks?

Just re-reading this thread again today, what shock springs did you settle on? What do you mean this is it for the Taco?
