| PFB's 2.2 Trophy Beast
Been collecting some parts to build a Beast for U4 2.2 Trophy. Looking forward to racing locally and visiting the Socal jerks when I can make it out there from time to time. (Well overdue I know) Anyone know the correct tie rod length for these axles? Both the Incision and VP Titanium are too short. Maybe I'll just run the zero ackermann knuckles to make them fit? Build list: RC Fab Works Beast Chassis VP F9 Currie Axles -Front VP VXD Axles & Locker / Axial HD Stock Gear / VP C-Hubs / Dlux modded Wraith Knuckles -Incision Rear Locker / VP Shafts / Axial HD Underdrive Gears Supershafty 6mm Output Trans MIP Driveshafts VP Trailing Arms Hot Racing Sway Bars Pro-Line Ultra Reservoir Shocks Incision SS Links Wheels - VP Method 105 / VP Method Roost / Locked Up Trailready HD Tires - Pitbull Rock Beast II / Pitbull Growler / Ottsix Voodoo U4 Crawler Innovations 6.0 DD Foams Locked Up RC Scale Hardware Electronics - JR 8711HV Servo / Spektrum RX / Dynamite 3S / Tekin RX8 / Tekin Pro4 3300kv The usual U4 scale doodads Last edited by pigeonfarmboy; 12-31-2016 at 12:14 AM. |

I just use Jato ends and trim them to fit.

Back at it! To do list is getting shorter: Ordered a pair of rear TLR 22 4.0 2WD shocks for the front end. Need to make a spare tire mount to angle the tire up and away from the sway bar up-travel. Mount Fuel cell, rear light bar, and radiator. Build and install driveshafts. Wire up ESC/Motor/RX/Lights. Paint chassis & panels. Race. Win. |

Designed a radiator mount and fuel cell mount that will work well. Driveshafts are installed and the driver tray is nice and solid-mounted too. Next I'll get the electronics in place and wired up. |

Hi. I don't follow all the cwarler brands and vendors out there. Who makes that tube frame? Or is there a separate build thread for it?
