Not that any of this is about RC  but anything is stout behind the little 4 banger I crawl with.Back to RC: I cut my lower links down and got to wait for the uppers mount before I cut those. |

She's pretty much a roller now. Just have to do some trimming and paint some of the stuff on the axles. Here's what I got done today.     Had to cut my drag link down a hair but no biggy  Having trouble uploading my flat land pose but here's front flex and rear   Last edited by Thundermaxx; 11-18-2007 at 11:40 PM. |

Well I got around to painting and trimming done to the trusses. Got the front mounted all up one time and realize I had it on backwards   Even took some pics before I noticed it. The 1st and 3rd pic is are two of them.     With it getting darker earlier I've been thinking of adding some lights but not sure yet. |

They don't seem to bind any. I shimmed the up and they feel good. I fubared some and waiting on some parts I have got them moving under power and seemed sound. For the drive cups you need the 5mm ones for the transmission. Thanks for the props |

They're on the way as of yesterday. I did the whole tear down so I can paint the back of the frame. I'm also debating on a new place for the battery but very limited on those options the way it's setup.

Dumb mistake on my part I used a drill to tighten the axle nut and busted off the threads. Sad thing is I did that with the first RC truck I ever bought like 6 years ago.I'm debating on which new motor to get while the cage is off too cause it's a pain to do with it on. I've got an old 17x2 in it and even with the gearing it's just to fast and finicky at slow speeds. Probably go with one of the Axiom 55 or 65's cause she's kinda of a pig. |

Yeah axiom FOR SURE that is what I run in my BMVll I love it About the drill deal that is not as bad as what I did on the first crawler I had I was excited about my first comp and thought that I should tighten the wheel nuts up good so they would not back off I over tightened them and snapped my Blackfoot outer axle then I put the stock outer axle back on and still over tightened it and the next day at the comp I fried a brand new brushless motor oh well live and learn  |
