| Re: Starting a truggy...
Had to correct couples of things... First the drag link was hitting the chassis and de steering link when shock compressed... So I move the steering link under the knuckles and bent it just enought to clear the pumpkin and get my full steering... Second, my tires was touching the knuckles and rod end caus they haven't enought offset... I've tried all the 1.9 wheels I have in stock and no one has the correct offset so I bought some brand new vp omf wheels from another member here so I can put my shift hub on them and obtain the clearance needed... Finally, not happy at all with the stock scx shocks but not sure what to do about it... Was thinking about installing some 100mm shocks (gmade aeration or big bore) with a droop kit to have more flex and a decent cog... What u thing??? |

And for my combo, I was thinking about a castle sidewinder v3/HH crawlmaster pro 11t, geared 57/10 32p... Should have the torque and the speed... Any thought? |

Can't go wrong with the BigBores.... Watch your temps with that gearing on your HH 11t...probably a good place to start |

Ordered a complete set of big bore... For the temp, i talked to John from HH and he told me i should be fine with a ratio around 5.5:1... So i ordered Robinson pinion 9-10-11-12t 32p... will see which s better and run cooler... |

Turned out great Noname.... Let us know how you like those red springs on those big bores...I found them to be too stiff for me. Now go get some dirt on it.... |

Thx pal... Yeah, the red springs are a bit stiff... i ordered some other softer, will begin with only the front first and will see how it goes... Oh yeah, little changes i ve made... Modified a bit the rear cage to fit 2 spares, just to be a bit different from others... Add some scale details and accessories... Last edited by noname0383; 07-27-2015 at 11:32 AM. |

So...do your front tires get into the body? it looks real tight up there. The truck looks great though. I especially like the paint and mudflap girl.

yeah the tire rub a bit into the cab but nothing scary for now... but i only test it a few times in easy trail or in door, so will see how it does on real rocks... As i said, i intend to run it a lot during vacation so i'll be able to have a better feedback of the rig then... |

Yeah the rig perform very very well, i love it... The setup on 3s lipo is amazing... perfectly balance between speed and torque... Everything held up pretty well too, the rear SMF cage and slidders, the Warrior Armor bumper and even the painting... Nothing broke or bent... I now have to work a bit on my steering to get a bit more angle I need to put softer rear spring but not too soft either I need to ''upright'' my front shocks one hole foward And thats about it for now...
