Holmes Hobbies TGH Sherpas Only

[Topher Builds]

If you have a HH TGH Sherpa build please share it here. Feel free to post any questions about your builds as well. Hoping to consolidate some info and builds for these ground up flat rail projects.

I'm in the final stages of getting my Sherpa together, just waiting on the driveshafts from SS. The MIP's from my Capra was too short for the 12.5" WB.

[Topher Builds]

Awesome! Glad to hear you pulled the trigger and have the build underway. Looking forward to see it.

Hoping to get a sherpa expert chassis kit with no od for Xmas. I already have capra axles mini br and a magnum 16t waiting. Servo options are tekin t440 or savox 2290.

Not sure on od because I may run an ar44 axle in front and the capra axle out back.

Sherpa Expert chassis
Capra steering axles
Vitavon front portal covers
HR rear portal covers
HR 15% OD front portal gears
HH SHV500v3's
HH PP 2200kv stubby
FMM/Transfer case
Dravtech shocks
Mamba X
SR515
SS driveshafts
In the works high clearance SS links
Custom bumper and rear bed cage
VP Method 310's with PL Hyrax in Predator

Overall its a great build. Very easy to drive and a good step up from the Capra that most of the equipment that donated it.

Looking great

[Lashlee]

Thanks!! Now all I need is some time off of work and the weather to cooperate!

[Topher Builds]

Love it. Mean and ready for business. Excited for you to drive it and hear your thoughts.

Chassis was finally available, should be here this weekend hopefully.

That said what and how Body’s and Mounts ???? I’m open now!

As for the body, way too many options!! I have the KNK mounts on my Sherpa and the GSpeed mounts on my V3 and like them much better than the KNK's.

[Topher Builds]

The KNK mounts are what I’ve been using, they’re functional but can get loose and start to lean. I had 3D printed some braces that help firm them up and they’ve been working well since.

The latest gspeed mounts look really nice too, I’ll be using those for a future v3 build but I don’t know if they’ll work on a Sherpa.

Congrats on the new chassis kit Mike! Great choice.

Thanks guys, Team KNK always has my back, never saw these before!

I like those "new" versions!! Mine are the versions that use the body clip for the body post.

Well a fun day today, Broke Bea down
And dropped links, axles and shocks in to get a roller, albeit a short 11.5” WB for now until my proper links arrive . Did need a long panhard bar, so dropped it on to the SSD axles and mounted the revolver up with a 10t, waiting on my spur and shaft to get this rolling. I will 3D print a ESC mount and Battery tray. Now I’ve got to find a bumper for the rear, as a Werty stinger fits perfectly.

added a few bits, set of Hardcore hi links,made and printed a chassis tray for between the rails.



I’m using the 4300 battery, perfect weight in the middle. I ran BEA today and cannot wait to mount the body, I’ve got to find extra long post’s
