nice progress mate "thumbsup", so when you say lost, do you mean you actually never got it back or it just died in the river and is being rebuilt?

It rolled down a cliff and landed in the river. Bt the time I put the radio down and went after it, it had sunk to the bottom. Tuns out the river makes a steep 5' drop off once it leaves shore, so unfortunately I was not able to jump in and get it. I have tried fishing it out with a big hook on my fishin' pole, but that didn't work. I thought about making a "rake" and dredging the area, but I'm sure by now, even with the light current, it has washed away from the area where it went in and I may never find it again. I have not given up though...

Dude,just throw some fawking shorts on and jump in??

EPISODE V

Update on "Project Resurrection"

Constructed entirely from plans and ideas of what I want in a scaler. I have made a few runs with Rezzed since I "finished" it a couple weeks ago. I am not completely satisfied with the RC4WD T-Rex 60 axles so I found a set of axles from a Losi Comp Crawler to install. I was also very disappointed in the RC4WD Ultimate Scale Shocks so I replaced them with a set of HR 120mm shocks set up in a half droop/half sprung set up using smaller springs out of a pen. The smaller springs are strong enough to push the axles down when no weight is on them yet the weight of the truck keeps it down to the ground to keep c o g low. Also, instead of filling them with oil, they are simply greased, so they will work without all the mess.8) Other features include, chassis mounted steering servo, fully operational lighting, booted CV drive shafts, sealed and ventilated electronics box.

ENJOY!!

imo, lower that chassis down to get you a lower center of gravity - it will handle much better! if at all possible - move the shocks to the top of the shock hops that are molded into the frame - 4 screws and a test should give you a better idea. or at least to try it just to tinker.

Re: Project Resurrection
 

WOW! After 12 years I've stumbled upon this old build thread. With all the knowledge and experience I have now, I'm amazed this truck worked at all. :oops: The link geometry was ALL wrong, it sat WAY too high and had tiny tires.
