Project 2.2: Ultra4 "The Yeti Hunter"

[savagebeast]

Looks awesome, it'd be cool if you could incorporate either abs or lexan bug body parts onto the body pannles somehow. Very unique rig. I'll be watching! !

Looks like i can take claim to this thread as the Yeti Hunter is coming my way as of tomorrow.

[gunder463]

coming together plan to change things when i get things done on this other rig heres how it sits right now was just building my own pistons for these kings and getting them to actually work, probably going to have to order some heavier springs for them tho.

[gunder463]

well got the kings to work but they were just mushy and they hit the chassis so i took em off and am using some aluminum body traxxas big bores with progressive springs.

[gunder463]

Gave it the Ducewild tratment, lots better now,

[gunder463]

broke a stupid hotracing CV shaft. time to go to traxxas cvds and get the rpm arms so i can do the flip flop with them for more clearances and get the shock on the back of the arm,

[gunder463]

ordered voodoo U4 tires for it toady and 2 stace CI foams, wanna see how they do,

[doublej]

That stance is killer!

[gunder463]

yeah shes slung low thats for sure,

[gunder463]

Custom shock limiters/protectors, did this on a couple builds and it saves the seals from head on debris nicking up your shafts and just keeping dirt off.

fuel tank,

[gunder463]

been putting in time on this rig here and there since my girl is in twon, heres it with the fule tank installed and i went ahead and threw a standard HD ring and pinion in the rear with a gripfab locker, much tighter,

[gunder463]

thinking about sending out these mickeys to have them deanodized and reanodized in orange, but keep the hubs black, also think ill send out these lockouts, and some other stuff i have laying around, should be interesting,

[gunder463]

i dont think this is supposed to look like this,

[gunder463]

so i had a old cv from some car i dont even remeber what it was and the shfts were the same length but alot beefier and a better steel, but the ball on the end was too fat, so i ground it down untill it fit and now its working like a charm, going to make another one later, then if these give out ill be going to traxxas cvds,

[DzrtRyd]

Awesome build. Looks great.

[gunder463]

thankyou, im thinking of going to gmade shocks, idk i like how if feels with these but im waiting to get the vodo U4 tires and CI 2 stage foams, also some aluminum beef for the front end and rpm arms for a little flip and flop.

[gunder463]

what dose this rig need to bring it to life? i feel like im missing something. maby i need to order trailing arms for it to try and get those to work? im at a loss need ideas.

[gunder463]

well managed to CRAM a swaybar in and got it alll hooked up now its much better, still need to take it out and test it but i think itll go through corners alot better,

[gunder463]

Thinking of getting a front swaybar going? good idea or bad?
