Eric made lathed big bores before he carried dravtechs. I have a set on my Bullyll. Dravtechs are pretty, springs are finicky by weight,(limited between dravtech and mini t’s they work fantastic on lighter rigs though.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f2d7763ec9.jpg Dravtechs on my 2 I’m right on the edge spring wise, would like a bit more though Hang up and Drive |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 What is considered light? I’ve heard nothing but good things about the dravtechs, just curious. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Quote:
I would say eight pounds is all you can use with mini t springs. mY SCX10ii is a bit heavier now with dig, Hang up and Drive |

Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Good to know :-) thanks, Topher, I hope I’m not hijacking your thread. I’ve been looking at a performance based “comp style” rig for a bit. Your build threads are the most informative I’ve read. I appreciate you taking the time to answer all my questions. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 No problem at all, I appreciate the interest. "thumbsup" |

Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 If you have a minute, can you give me an eye to eye length of your front links? I think mine are too long. I'm using the V3 chassis, AR44's and the aluminum pan hard mount. My track bar is hitting the upper link mount of the axle and my shock doesn't clear the pan hard mount to get full compression. Thanks! Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Where’d ya get your links from? Can you post some pics? I’ll get a measurement for you at some point today. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 I ordered the links from Intheworksrc. I can post pics when I get home from work this afternoon. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 3 Attachment(s) These are from last night. I have since moved the PH mount forward one hole and it lines up better but I can only use one screw to attach to the chassis. I was looking at your pics this morning ans saw that the front axle sits way further back than mine. I'll measure my WB and get some better pics after work. Thanks for your time bro. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Are your links set up like this? Longest to shortest Rear lower Rear upper Front lower Front upper I’ve had similar issues with his links before, and the replacement links I got didn’t help either but when I got a different set they worked perfect. My fronts were too long also. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 I think that's where I'm at but I'll verify when I get home. Thanks! Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 1 Attachment(s) Hope this pic helps. Rough measurement puts the front lower around 120mm. Maybe a tad more. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Should also point out that the panhard mount topher is running is the TGH panhard and the panhard you are running is the aluminum from the v3 carbon combo ( I also have this combo currently taped to the cardboard it was shipped in haha), which is exactly why I have yet to order links from either hardcore RC or intheworksRC because I have yet to hear if either/neither/both will work with the gspeed aluminum panhard mount and I dont want to buy a nice link set and have to jimmy rig the panhard. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Yes Duke is correct. I’m running the tgh mount. I don’t think it would solve his problem though because the tgh mount is in the same relative location on the chassis, it just allows for a longer panhard bar. Which translates to less axle swing. Lou’s problem looks to be too long of front links which wouldn’t allow him to connect the panhard properly. The multi platform panhard might work a little better? On hardcore RC, the “wertymade” option is the on the that comes with the kit, and the same as the aluminum one gspeed just put out if that’s what you’re referring to. |

Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 I just measured all my links. I ordered the SS/ aluminum hybrid link set. The lower links are Stainless and those measure 135mm and 124mm. The three aluminum links all measure 120.5mm. I’m gonna try the 120’s up front and see how that shakes out... I’m not to confident that they will line up though... Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 3 Attachment(s) Well... I think I’ve got it sorted... the rear is just about perfect. The front lowers are now at 120.5mm and that seems pretty good... the upper link needs shortened by 4-6mm and I think it will be good. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Definitely better! The front upper looks a bit long though. I say this because of the pinion angle. is there a different hole further back on the chassis you can mount it to? Post a full wide shot? The rear isn’t as bad but those uppers may be a little long as well. Ideally the input on the axle diff should be parallel with the output on the transmission. What’d your wb end up at? |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 The front upper is for sure too long, there is only one hole provided to mount it. I think I have some wiggle room on the rears so I'll look at that again... Wb came out to 12.375 and I'm good with that. I emailed Intheworksrc this morning to see about exchanging the links but haven't heard from him yet. Thanks a ton for your help. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 3 Attachment(s) Back to this one as it was time to ditch the gladiator body for something more visually appealing. I’ve been liking the bodies MST has been coming out with and finally was able to get a JP1 after several weeks of waiting for one available in the states. It’s a 12.3” body but the open front fenders made it easy to scoot back a little to accommodate the 12.5” wb of this rig. Kept it simple with a matte white and black paint job, added some door lines with a sharpie as well (this is a first for me). A little heavier than the gladiator but I dig it. Thinking I’ll have it out on the rocks again tomorrow. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Looks killer TB![emoji106] I’ve always liked these bodies, but could never find one in stock. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Much better than the gladiator, I really like this body! |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 The body looks superb TB!!! |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Yes, saw it on IG, looks so freaking good! I’ve wanted this body for months but also can’t ever find them in stock. Lou |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Another awesome build, and very timely as I just received my v3 chassis, dsm, forward motor mount etc. So this is an excellent reference for assembly. I'm using intheworks rc high clearance links and ar44's (might change axles at some point). Cheers~ |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Thanks fellas! Much appreciated. I like this body far better than the gladiator as well. Much more fitting for this for build. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 1 Attachment(s) Took this fella out to one of my favorite places this morning, Logandale trails out by valley of fire. I’ve been wanting to get back there since the first time I went out there. It has been over a year and it was every bit as wonderful as I remembered it being out there. |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Great shot of what looks like an incredible place! How are you liking the G-Speed build vs the other lcg chassis builds? |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Man that looks like an awesome play ground. Sweet pic! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Nice pic![emoji106] Looks like another beautiful place to spend the day crawling! It amazes me how many awesome places you have out there to have tiny truck fun! I’ve always wondered, is all the open land out there state owned or is it private? Or both? Can you just park anywhere and go crawling? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Topher builds a TGH/G-Speed V3 Quote:
Here in Ohio, it seems like every inch of land is either privately owned or city owned and leaves very little options to get the rigs out to have some fun. Many of the State Parks here do not allow R/C vehicles on the property. I've been told to leave a few times. Luckily I have a little city owned park out in the boonies that is about 40 minutes away that I can go too. But that can get old quick running over the same trails and rocks! Anyways, thanks for the answer and glad to hear you have great places to have tiny truck fun!:) Looking forward to your next vid! |
