Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build So with Axialfest coming up I wanted to build me a new car to race. I will still be running my regular ultra car in the Endurance race. This one is being built for some track racing. After seeing Delmontes car with the leading and trailing arms I knew if I was to ever build a U4RC car That was how I would do it.(thanks for the inspiration Jake"thumbsup"). The main goal for the build was to build a car of this nature and still have it look scale. And by that I mean a traditional two seater That actually has frame rails that span the wheelbase of the car. Mission complete! The chassis will be very light so weight can be added in desired locations to meet the 8 lb rule for U4RC Trophy class racing. Also has multiple places where the battery can be placed for further tuning. Parts list: UCFab PRT chassis UCFab 7075 leading and trailing arms UCFab Yeti sway bars front and rear Dlux 1808 axles front and rear Dlux Ti upper links Dlux Ti steering links Ottsix Voodoo U4 tires CI 6 bolt wheels TLR shocks Hitech 7950 servo Tekin Roc 412 Wraith trans MIP drive shafts How the car sits now. http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf2az6xag.jpg And some pics of the build process. http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psv11ctytw.jpg http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0kouzgdj.jpg http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psdwqg2xtu.jpg LOW ride height http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psvv0f6hht.jpg http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4nblb9j3.jpg http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psvarbpbph.jpg |

Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build Damn, it doesn't get any cleaner than that. |
Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build One word; MINT!! "thumbsup" |
Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build Beautiful work! I hope I can see it (drive it) at Axialfest this year "thumbsup" How are the spring rates for the big 12mm bore shocks? I wouldn't mind trying them, but I was afraid that the spring selection would be too stiff for a U4 truck/crawler. |
Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build Ww that's awesome |

Thanks Jake. I planned on handing over the radio to you to get your opinion on setups. You are way ahead of me on testing a car like this. Would love to hear your feed back on How its driving. The big shocks feel amazing."thumbsup""thumbsup" I was dropping it from 8 feet up to a flat landing and it just soaks it up, with no crazy rebound. These shocks I have been running on my ultra car for a couple years now. I run the softest one in the rear and the same spring in the front that I ground out the inside of the spring to adjust spring tension to my liking. I just test the spring rates on a scale. I usully leave the motor side spring about 4 grams heavier. We need to get you one of these to run next season at the U4RC races:mrgreen::mrgreen: |
Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build Sweet build..so when can I get some front trailing arms ?:roll: |

Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build Before I finish the chassis all the way I wanted to drive it a little. To make sure there wasn't any issues. After running a few packs through it I am very pleased with how it drives. It was getting around the track better than my Yeti!!(part of that due to the stock rear shocks on the Yeti really suck:evil::evil: No changes will be made as far as suspension. for now! Here is a few shots I got ripping around the back yard. http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...pstskatjdx.png http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psp2ctgtwu.png http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1t7pftqx.png http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...psrw5558n0.png http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...pshwnukcin.png http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...pszy89s9e5.png http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a...pswojgdjsi.png |

Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build I really like the looks of this setup. The front / rear trailing arms and sway bars make it look like a true performer. Might have to save up and shoot you a PM about building me one. :mrgreen: |
Re: Introducing The UCFab PRT(pure race truck)U4RC build These are absolutely beautiful works of machinery. What does one of these bad boys weigh in running trim? |
