Finished up the paint on one body. Not my best work

[460bronco]

Looking good super! We going to beat that up on the rocks next spring?

[Super]

I sure hope so.

Painted the other body....I'm not sure.







Tape bled and I didn't wait long enough between coats so I got some cracks.

I love using magnets to hold my bodies on, but this one I am having a difficult time coming up with a good way of doing it. That and gluing magnets to the painted side at best makes the paint look funny if not pulls the paint off.

Got any ideas? I'm open to all suggestions.

You could try some 1/8" pinstripes to conceal the bead thru.....Been there. Digging the orange though!

I'm partial to the green one myself. The cab is 9" from back window to tip of front fenders.

Maybe you could use some Velcro it wont effect the paint on the body. You rig looks awesome I like both paint jobs

Thanks Super

I was hoping this wasn't going to be an issue but it kinda is.

The truck is sort of heavy (8.5 lbs). Heavy for me anyways. It's a little top heavy.

With the chassis mounted servo I know you "have to" run a pan hard and 3 link but in the last couple that I did it wasn't a problem.

Well, this time it is. When I turn one way it pulls the axle and chassis together and causes it to tip in off camber situations. I'm not sure how to go about this on this chassis, can't find a kit that will work.
Thinking about just going back to the axle mounted servo.


HELP! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

I like the green cab myself. SOrry can't help om the cms issue.

[Rodamis]

Please post some pictures of your front end set up and I can help you out .

[Super]

Ok, here is what I have. If you need more let me know.

[Rodamis]

Ok a few issues going on here. First one is 4 link and cms will do that every time unless the plane of the servo is horizontal to axle . So you need a pan hard to make that part stop
. Second is the servo placed like that when it turns to the right it will pull the axle up and compress the left suspension. The reason it pulls it up is the servo horn swing upwards making the angle of the steering link very steep if you hold it up and power it up and slowly turn the steering you will see a point where the chub and knuckles will max out and then the servo over throw after that will compress the suspension. The easiest fix for now would be to go servo on axle .let me find a few good pics of and I'll post them

[Rodamis]

Another quick thing I noticed is on the front shocks the springs are upside down the little one goes on top and the reason why is the ring out in the open between the two spring can some times hang up on the shock end when it is compressed

[Super]

That's kinda what I thought. I'll probably go to the axle mounted servo.

Thanks for the explanation.

[Super]

Did some tire mounting tonight.

Swampers on Trail King EZ Loc Wheels
These were the easiest wheels I ever mounted





IROks on RC4WD steal wheels

[Super]

Added some lights and moved the servo to the axle.






Had to move the winch forward so I could cut the bumper to make room for the servo to move properly.

Curious how did you mount that transfer case to the skid plate?
