|  Chuck S buys a used 1.9 truggy
Well one of my fellow GCRCRC club members (JeremyH) has a collection of rigs that keeps growing, so I offered to buy one of them that he does not drive as much. Its a Toyota truggy based off a SCX chassis and trans equiped with a VP dig, it has TLT axles with all the good stuff. Here is a link to the original build thread Jeremy's 1.9 Truggy here are some pics . |

Unfortunately I did, the TLT's left me wanting more in the steering department. Also I want to run OD/UD in the future. I will have some photos of the swap up soon. | |

Here are some photos of the links I had to make in order to put the new axles under the truck. The TLT links where to short all the way around. . |

Here are some photos of the front axle... stock gears SDS Customz steel locker SDS Customz Super 300 CVD's Beef toobs Vanquish SCX10 c-hubs 8 degree Vanquish SCX10 8 degree knuckles Tamiya 50882 Kingpin Set DMG V3 truss I did some milling on the truss to maximize the steering ability of the VP stuff. I guess the truss was designed around the stock components with lower steering arms. I also bead blasted the truss for a satin finish, I love the look of machined metal but the shiny look did not fit this build. . Last edited by rangercat23; 09-04-2013 at 11:53 AM. |
