Tapatalk being weird....sorry for the multiple quotes/posts

Need to put a new Supershafty slipper eliminator and figure out a beginning gearing for this motor....

2850 KV Caslte and a Mamba X
Put the 3.5” Bigbores back on...I really like this ride height
I now clear the chassis with the steering set up....I need to make a skid for the servo...don’t like how it’s exposed.

More later and thanks for looking

WOW!

This Wreckluse has undergone major changes.

I love the front end work you did for the extra clearance.

You got that thing hooked up with some sweet axles and i love their width.

Im still using the ax10 axles (narrow width) and got them running 1.9 wheels, just under 4 inches in diameter.

I’m sure your wreckluce is much more realistic....
And anyone here would enjoy a sneak peak at that here...post a pic Alex

Those axles are XTRA SPEED full metal jackets
VP knuckles, shafts, lockouts, the lockers are so tight I had to coax them to work
DLUX U4 trusses...stout and strong
Metal everything that I could find....
I know...not the best idea, but I will put some horse power to the wheels and I don’t want plastic anymore. So....

on with the heavy metal !

Life..got in the way. But I'm getting my feet wet again. Haha.
I need to practice more and get a better welder. My welds aren't the prettiest, but they hold, so out come the files and grinder!

lookin' forward to seein' this thing tear around!

Heavy Metal Madness!!! love it!

Well Greg, here is a pic of my wreckluse. The light bar under the roof has been removed and the wheel/tire setup changed. Other than that, the wreckluse its pretty much how you see it here. Oh and this one has always been equipped with 4 wheel steering

I have issues with the servo crashing into the chassis. I don’t think I can fix it without going to a CMS and panhard set up.... I am not a fan of CMS...

Will have to fab something up...wondered if anyone else had issues with the DLux truss in the front...not a lot of room to do much of anything. I’ll get some better pictures later

I'm in the process of cutting the mounting tabs off of my Savox 1230sg servo. I have the Wreckluse setup in droop. I'm using the G-Transition Shocks from Gmade. They can be setup in droop or rebound mode.
The chassis is so narrow down there where the servo mounts on my AR60 XR Axle. I'm cutting off the mounting tabs and using a radiator hose clamp to hold the servo, the radiator clamp will first be mounted to my axle. That should give the chassis plenty of room. I dont want to chop it up...

Here she is ..my pic is showing a Savox 1210sg waterproof servo. I've waterproofed the Savox 1230sg, which has 500oz of torque at 6.0 volts. That will do the job..

Nice “Cluse” Bumbeckd....
Couldn’t see the hose clamp

I had issues with that as well....I had to Dremel my way clear to clear the servo horn from the front plate...it worked until I cut the whole thing up....

I struggled with cutting my chassis...had several people try to buy it from me before I did, I think the highest offer was a C note for just the chassis. It was worth more to me as something different...

I’m enjoying this....thanks for looking

Looks Fantastic. I totally dig the chopped top. Really sweet color. The axles and wheels really make it pop. Great choice for motor and ESC. SicK Rig Bro!

A little update

Some metal panels and a wacky driver...probably add a fuel tank and a bit more on the interior...then run the hell out of it!
