Fr8cture's JK8

[fr8cture]

Here is a few small updates.

I threw on some aluminum beef patties I had for another project. I like them on here.



Beef tubes recently came out with beef tips a shock retainer without a slot. I drilled out the center slight to fit a king shock shaft. Then I had to switch to a Axial rod end so the retainer would slide over the end. Much better than stock.




Retainer comparison.



I had some aluminum wraith links sitting around. So I used some rod ends to get the needed length.... Look at that clearance!


I added a strc cross brace, vp rear bumper mount and servo mounts.



I got some SSD lockouts also. I really like these compared to other designs. Nice slim design.


Installed the new SSD HD diff cover.. No scale hardware for now. Was a mess to get the other diff cover off. Poked my thumb with a drill bit in the process...



Found this guy on Facebook last week. He makes some pretty cool stuff. Had him make this spare tire cover for me.



That's it for now.

I'll probably go to Taylor's falls in a few weeks to test this rig out.

[Stormin2u]

We have a few weeks off (MNRCRC) let me know fr8cture maybe I can meet you there?

[fr8cture]

Been a long time since I updated this thread. I switched to scx10 II axles months ago and recently grabbed a set of black currie axles. I also pulled out all the electronics as I was never happy with the layout. I will be going with different electronics.



A friend sent me a gear cover awhile back for the transfer case.



I also switched to a G10 mount awhile back.



Thanks to Michael at Super Shafty I got some new wheels.



Here is a pic to show how green the rings really are.



I also got some straight links made for the rear.



I also got a Maddog rc 6" slim light bar.



I think that brings it up to date.

[XSRCdesign]

[fr8cture]

Here is a pic from wheb I first got a set.

[XSRCdesign]

Man that almost looks like it could work on the front..

The rear is a whole lot of nope

[fr8cture]

Yeah the front isn't too bad. Pretty much why I am doing another jk8.

[Stormin2u]

Looking good fr8cture.

[fr8cture]

Small update.

I had a friend make me a new electronics tray using up all the space available up front. It turned out great.



I also switched back to the lockeduprc slipper eliminator and gained a bunch of room on the tray.



I got a SDI propeller shaft in from CCC to replace the heavy MIP shaft.



Lockeduprc hardware for the diff covers.



Received some rotors and MIP exclusive shaft from Super Shafty today aswell. Waiting on scale lug nuts they are in a order with a pre order I have with rpp.
