Re: Wreckluse So it looks like if he clocked the axle so the servo is level he might be able to clear a winch no? Quote:

Re: Wreckluse Have to run them in the top holes.If not they will hit the drive shafts front and rear . Making links is not a problen having a lathe sure makes it easy. Stock is three bucks for three feet son not an issue. thanks for catching that this is my first true build so i need all the help and sugestions i can get. |
Re: Wreckluse yes it looks like if i shorten the top lonks the winch will fit also if i shorten the bottoms it might clear the stinger. i need those ball links t come in so i can make the bottom rear links and see what the wheel base is going to be. these thin take a lot of fiddleing to get correct. I wanted to be beating on it all ready |
Re: Wreckluse Just bought some seats, ripsaws and diff covers cant wait to see how it looks with bigger wheels |
Re: Wreckluse Mine is actually on the upper hole, and I tried to get the upper link as straight as possible....but I was trying for as low as I could get also....lower COG http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/4064c486.jpg |

Re: Wreckluse Yes I will try to mount the winch in the stinger. Thanks for the photo also gave me an idea to mount the grill. I hope it comes in soon I haven't heard from em since I paid for it. Also got the LEDs working my helper has them right now and is having fun with them she thinks it's a flashlight. Need to find light buckets for 5 mm LEDs need six of em if any one has spares for sale pm me also need six smaller ones I think 3 mm. |
Re: Wreckluse Hey post you have any more pics on how you did your winch mount, looks interesting. On buckets what about find some small flashlight buckets? |
Re: Wreckluse I don't have a winch...but I have a grill made of lexan with holes in it and light buckets....so I can remove my hood and change my battery. I used two small "L" brackets and attached it to the winch mounts.... Pictures on the way |
Re: Wreckluse 2 Attachment(s) Parts came in todayto finish off the links. Shorend the fronts twice the first photo is the first try second photo is the secong try. let me know if the tops have to go shorter. replaced the servo with a hitec 5995tg. installed cc bec. and fot to do some test driving the front shaft is to short( the ckrcc shats that i installed dose not have splines all the way up the female section so under full compression the slip. Dose the mip shafts female side have splines all the way up? The bec is also wired for my lights. The rear needs the top links shortend to. wheel base is at 12.5 inches |
Re: Wreckluse Grill photos http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/49a2d045.jpg http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/37f0dd21.jpg http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/44e85d77.jpg Hard to get a good shot of the mounts, but you can see the L brackets |
Re: Wreckluse Second photo looks sooo much better... I use MIP shafts for the wraith....the female end has splines about half way up the shaft from the opening or the business end to the drive end at the output shaft. My rear shaft is almost too short....but still gets good bite. |
Re: Wreckluse Front shaft http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/32f32a27.jpg Rear shaft....wish the splines were a tad longer http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/63269288.jpg |
Re: Wreckluse 3 Attachment(s) got some work done on it today.trimmed the front links again now the servo sits flat. The stinger also clears now. The electronics tray needs to be shortend the servo hits. did some test driving and managed to strip the spur geag arrg. None on island either my friend says he has one i can use so we can play this week end.Here are some photos of the stinger and servo clearence. |
Re: Wreckluse How's that suicide steering set up work for you? Fully depressed suspension, your servo arm clears the stinger? Looks close. Are you running 48p or 32p gears? I know...lots of questions this morning :mrgreen: hope you get to run some today |
Re: Wreckluse The suicide steering is working fine so far what i did was used a plastic spacer fron an ax 10 kit and lenthend the rods i dinnt like the toe in. 48 pitch 80 tooth spur going to buy an 87 tooth spur. Yes my servo clears the stinger with a little clearence not much but enough. Also need to fix the bottom links if you look closely the rear shocks aent straight. The left bottom link is shorter then the right one is my guess need to mesure it. dont buy the sucide steering. cost to much just make your own |
Re: Wreckluse Actually have an STRC set up on the Wraith that works much better than the vanquish links I have on the Wreck....was thoroughly disgusted with the Vanqish stuff...had to modify the hell out of it. They did not do their homework on the links....it should be the same. So you are using 48p gears...I have a few spurs I would give you. I use 32p in everything now..it's louder but has more contact area. Send me your address...pm it of course....I'll send you what I have in 48p pinions and spurs. "thumbsup" |
Re: Wreckluse I got it fixxed. FYI traxxs spur gears fit. Got some bling in the mail today and got it on. Some aluminum diff covers used nothing some epoxy paint couldn't fix. Some seats not installed yet Some rip saws not installed. No foams any recommendation ?and a cb antena |
Re: Wreckluse 2 Attachment(s) Changed the wheels and tires went with ripsaws looks much better. Liquid mask is drying on the hood. let me know what you think of the lagrer tires |
Re: Wreckluse I certainly like the bigger tire...rig looks good man..."thumbsup" |
