S3R Dig units in stock.

[JPH Racing]

Just spreading the word, we've got these units in stock ready to ship: Stage 3 Racing digs for the AX-10 trani, $84.99

We've sold quite a few to our local crawler guys and so far they are working really well. They build up easily, are very smooth, and have been holding up. No QC problems, no reworking it to make it function. Will post some pics soon.

PM or E-mail me for more info or pricing.

[ittybitty]

can you post a pic from above to show the overall width of the unit along with the servo being mounted with their mount? im wondering if it will work out in my chassis

[mann0mann]

It's not a picture but the length for example from the front of the motor mount to the end of the servo mount is just over 2 3/4"

Also remember that the whole transmission is going to be mounted about 5/8" forward from stock position with this DIG too.

Hope this helps!

[JPH Racing]

Sorry for the delay guys, I have have not had a chance to do a build thread yet, but here's some photos in the meantime ...

[JPH Racing]

The parts out of the bags ...

[JPH Racing]

And, something new that will be out in a couple weeks! This part is super trick and the photos don't show how cool it really is. Keep in mind, this is a prototype, so production parts may change slightly.

This part combines the motor plate and the front trani case. So, when put together with the stage 3 dig, it makes an all aluminum trani case and motor plate.

[hellbentrodder]

Thats sweet. Do you think they will offer that alone?

[roksloski]

That is SOOOOO SICK.....
looks like another top notch part ......."thumbsup"

[Thorne_Dog]

I'd love to see some installed pictures, maybe even a video of it working! Looks awesome!

[JPH Racing]

HellBent: Yes, we should get that part in a week or so ... It will bolt right up to the existing S3R dig units.

Rok: Wait until you see it in person!

Thorne: I'll be doing a build thread next week and install it in my rig. I'm not hip on the video thing, but there will be plenty of pics. So far, the S3R digs have all worked flawless. No failures. No trouble with the components.

[salteen]

watching thread. looks SICK.

[Nor*CalDefender]

Come on, tell us how much $$$$$$$$$$$.

[JPH Racing]

Nor-Cal: Don't know the pricing yet ...

[clarkrw3]

how much does all that weigh?

[JPH Racing]

how much does all that weigh?

I'll get you a weight when I build it all up! "thumbsup"

[GixxerCrawler]

Looks sweet!! I may have to try that one out!!

[JPH Racing]

OK guys, got it all built up ... Not time for a proper build thread this time. I'll post up these pics so you can see what it intails, but I'll tell ya it falls together very easily. The instructions are great and the fit and finish is first rate for sure. "thumbsup"

[JPH Racing]

More pics to so it almost finished. I'll do the servo bracket and linkage tomorrow. Please post up questions!

[JPH Racing]

Oh, one other thing: I do not want to get into any of the politics between S3R and DNA. Please leave that for other threads. I'm simply a hobby shop guy who wants to offer his customers the best possible products. "thumbsup"

[sub-zero]

I have been all around this forum looking for my a reliable dig unit for my tuber, and I can say without a dought that this is the one for me, from what I've heard they run FLAWLESSLY and with the addition of the aluminum tranny case, that sealed the deal, now all I want to know is how much for the dig unit with the aluminum tranny case, shipped and out the door?;-)

[roksloski]

Jake,
i see you built it up with the Stage3 racing front out put shaft."thumbsup"
i new you would'nt leave the stock one in.........

[Rpp Hobby]

Jake an FYI I found out today, If someone has the ST Racing concepts skid plate to move the links inbound, the rod ends set above the tranny mount about .120 and keep the dig unit from sitting flush. So anyone using ST Racing concepts skids, will have to make a spacer to raise dig to clear the rod ends, Or use thicker skid plates like the one Stage 3 or East End Machine sells. I used the East End Mahine one and works perfect.

[TIMZKRAWLER]

would you happen to know if anyone has mounted the dig unit with the servo mount in the SWX chassis??....i really like the unit just want to make sure it will fit ...LOL...Thanks

[Rpp Hobby]

I tried putting mine in a SWX and the servo mounted the way it is was too wide. I know Dave is working on a mount to ensure it will fit in a SWX width. Jake may have more info on this than me.

thanks for the info...that is what i thought.....I will definetly be looking forward to this dig if a mount will fit for my SWX..."thumbsup""thumbsup"

[JPH Racing]

Sub: You've found what you're looking for! The dig unit is selling for $84.99, shipping is $7.50 for UPS ground. The front aluminum motor mount/trani half should be ready in about a week. Not sure on pricing yet.

Rok: Yes, I did add the front steel outdrive to the build. I'm sorry I didn't have time for a full build thread, but I wanted to get the pics up asap.

Rpp: Yes, as with any dig that incorporates the trani housing, some shimming will be needed to clear aftermarket skid plates. But, the S3R offers two sets of mounting holes (shown in one of the pics) so you can move the hole trani and dig forward. this will help clear links. but, it will not help with low CG skid plates.

Timz: The new servo mount might take care of the clearance problem. But, if not, there's an easy fix of mounting the dig servo to the left side chassis plate. If Roksloski would be nice enough to bring down his rig, I'll get a picture posted. He's got an R2 in right now, but the concept is the same for either trani ....

[roksloski]

Yes,
there is an easy way to mount a dig servo in an SWX with the stage 3 racing dig unit...

Jake i will bring my rig in for pic's

[JPH Racing]

Here's some pics of the final assembly. I threw in a 3003 servo for demo purposes, but I'll tell ya the dig is smooth enough that this servo would work it just fine .... Post up questions, please! "thumbsup"

[TIMZKRAWLER]

Thanks for the great pics...look forward to seeing how i can get it to fit the SWX....

[speed goat]

Payment sent thanks"thumbsup"

[sub-zero]

Any word on when the tranny case half will be available and how much that part will cost:?:

O I forgot did you use the stock axial tranny gears or did you upgrade them and if so to what:?:

[gunnar]

Hmm, takin a risk posting this pic: http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo38/gunnarax10/done4.jpg

[JPH Racing]

Speed: Thanks. Got an e-mail back to you ...

Sub: Should have them in a little over a week. Not sure on pricing yet, 30 to 35 is a guess.

gunnar: Very clean install! Fills up the chassis nicely! "thumbsup"

[sub-zero]

gunnar, life is all about taking risks LOL:ror: Seriously though if someone has a superior product, than isn't that the one your going to go with, c'mon:roll:

[gunnar]

you got that right!

[JPH Racing]

Here's a couple pics of Roksloski's servo mounting. Not the best pics, but basically the servo mounts to the left side chassis with some RPM servo mounts. It's simple, and works great! "thumbsup"

[roksloski]

the dig servo mounts in the same spot, weather you run a Stage3 Racing dig
or an R2D
just one side of the servo will mount one hole higher with the S3R dig
the outher side will get a longer spacer

good luck......

[JPH Racing]

Some pics of the dig mounted in my chassis. Got it done this morning. For my dig servo, I made a delrin plate and mounted it there. The link is short and has a straight shot to the dig, works well.

As usual, please post up questions if ya got'em!

[robbio4422]

im also very curious about the fit when installed in my tuber. im running the bastard jr, the servo mount looks like it might be too much. im gunna look closer at the pics to see what can be done but if anyone has tried this yet let me know plz

[gunnar]

That's the good thing about these digs(DNA too) is that the two holes on top of the dig make it easy to fab up a plate to put the servo wherever it has to go, no matter what chassis you have, if you don't have the room for a chassis mounted servo.

[JPH Racing]

robbio: Like gunnar said, you can always use the top screw holes to make a mount. Use an Axial servo mount plate, drill two new holes in it, and you've got a quick-n-easy servo mount. "thumbsup"

Still hvae more of the S3R digs in stock guys. And, the new front case will be here very soon! "thumbsup"

ty sir for the quick reply. ill be ordering one on monday. this will be my first time running a dig. what would be a good servo to run with... sorry for the newbbbbbbb questions

[gunnar]

I have had no trouble using a 225MG, if you got the room, a larger servo will work great too.

[sub-zero]

noob question alert the servo mount that comes with the S3R dig looks like it only accaept regular sized servos, isn't the 225 a mini servo, and if so how did you get it to fit right:?:

Well, I'm not using the S3R mount, yes that mount is only for a full size servo. I made my own mount for the 225. It is pretty tight in the SWX, but it is working well. S3R is coming out with a 225 sized mount, but it will be awhile yet. A pic of what I did, it uses the mini servo mount from the DNA dig kit: http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo38/gunnarax10/servomt.jpg

[Ruthless]

Very Nice "thumbsup" Has anyone used one in a DMG chassis?

[crazy_kanaka]

Any news on the front case/motor mount piece... ETA? I'm also wondering if it would mount up to the stock rear case? I'm wondering if this part has the normal mounting holes in the bottom, as there are on the stock front half?

I'm asking because I see that the S3R dig has it's own mounting holes. And I want to use this part without the S3R unit.

[Pdog7]

I'd like to hear some commets on the function of the dig before making up my mind. It does look promising:shock: I like the idea of 5 points of engagement for the dig vs 4 on the DNA. How does it engage/disengage under load? Is anyone running this dig in a GC-2 chassis? Is it rebuildable? If so will you stock the parts and how much?8)

Mine worked very well over the weekend. I did have some minor sticking coming out of dig when fully bound up .... But, when double checking my build it appears I need to reassemble my outdrives to the center gear, as I have a slight wobble in that assembly, which is most likely causing the stiction.

It should drop right in a GC-2, plenty of room. No parts stocked yet, but I will have them if and when they are needed.

[BCkoots]

Do you still have any in stock? I couldn't find them on your website. Also any word on when the aluminum front tranny case will be available?

[JPH Racing]

BCkoots: Yep, have plenty in stock right now. Front cases are in transit, should be here any day now. I'll update the website, they are on there just a little hard to find, so they will be on the first page .... Just waiting for the cases to do this.

You can PM me your phone # when you're ready to order and I'll give you a call. "thumbsup"

Got mine together last night and these things are AWESOME. Went together easily and works like butter. I am using a Hitec 225MG and a custom servo mount. The fit and finish on these parts are amazing. Being I bought one of the first releases of the dig, I expected a little miss match between it and the tranny/motor plate. There was none! Great job S3R."thumbsup"!

very new to crawling, sorry if n00b question but does this dig fit in swx chassis? just ordered my swx but don't wanna order this and it not fit.

Heres a couple of pics in an SWX this is the best dig I have used.

Jake I got those lockers today installed them and my axles are now slop free. Thanks for the stickers I will be pimpin them on my ride for ya.

[JasonF88]

ok sweet, don't let this sound dumb please i'm still new to this crazy addiction. but just browsing seeing what i can do but is this the only stuff i have to buy for a dig or do i have to buy a new peice for the rear shaft as well? and right now i currently only have a futaba 2 ch radio would i be able to use a dig with only 2 ch or could i mod my remote to be able to do so?

[See65]

All you need to do to the rear drive shaft is shorten the one you have.As far as the radio u will need 3 channels to run the dig.

[JasonF88]

3 ch remote and receiver right?

[See65]

Correct.

[JPH Racing]

Jason: Are you using the stock drivelines? If so, cutting the rear shafts is easy.

You need a 3 channel radio, with end point adjustments and a 3 position switch (2 if you only want 4wd and dig). I've been reccomending the Spektrum DX3R system, works awesome and easy to set up.

Don't worry about the questions, keep them coming!

[JPH Racing]

Mike: Thanks for posting the pics! The rig is looking sweet! Have you been comping much? You should hit up the next Nor-Cal or CCRC event at Folsom, awesome spot!

[See65]

Ive been doing some stuff at cap city.I was going to try and make the CCRC comp this weekend but I have to go to Reno so Im going to play out at the moonrocks while im there its close to my dads place.Im trying to get some guys together to hangout with you guys at the next Nor-Cal comp.

[JasonF88]

yes i am using the stock shafts on my ax10. now is there any way i could use a dig and a rear steering kit if i use a mixer and do the tq3 mod or buy a modded one with epa pots already? i'm trying to go all out comp here. there aint any comps around here not even any local courses but after i get this monster built and get my spare one in a better running condition i'm gonna start flying out to comps and joining up with all of you guys to have some fun.

EDIT: could i use this instead of having to get a radio with end point adjustments? this
(http://servocity.com/html/180o_servo_stretcher.html)

[JPH Racing]

Jason: No rear steer for comps, that's why the dig was invented. The EPA modded TQ should work fine! Stay away from mixers, as there's too big of a delay.

There's crawler guys everywhere. Maybe start a club or group in your area?

[JasonF88]

ok so no rear steer but will that stretcher be appropriate to use with my dig instead of having a remote with end point adjustments, or would this (http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=81&products_id=937) solve my problem without having to use a stretcher?

[See65]

If you use a radio without epas you need a stretcher.

[JasonF88]

would this (http://www.clodmodracing.com/products/index.php?product=Computer) be a good idea?

[Bubba73]

I agree with sub-zero $$$$$$$?

[JPH Racing]

Jason: Stay clear of the mixer, but the radio looks interesting. It does not say whether it's a 3 postion 3rd channel, you might want to find that out ....

Bubba: Not sure what you're asking? Did you get the right thread? LOL

[sub-zero]

Even I'm a little confused about that one.;-)

stock is way to long... i just cut my stock axial DL untill my thundertech mip ones show up...

also. anyone wanting to run the lower clearence link on the inside will need to raise the tranny/dig unit about 1/8" for the link ends... im using traxxas ends, this might be different for other applications

[crazy_kanaka]

Thanks JPH for that fast shipping, it got to me last Friday. I installed it over the weekend and needless to say I'm very impressed with this dig unit. S3R's machining and precession is unmatched. Every single piece fits correctly and operates smoothly.

Over the next week I'll be working and camping on Hualalai (another Hawaiian Volcano). While I'm there, I'll be spending my free time testing it out. I got to drive it around a little yesterday and I'm impressed with how smoothly the dig engages and disengages from all three positions. I think Hualalai volcano will be a good test. If I remember I'll snap some pictures.

Oh... For anyone wondering, it fits very nicely (and easily) into the DNA SlingShot.

Thanks again. "thumbsup"

[crazy_kanaka]

As I stated in a previous post, this unit fits very nicely into the DNA SlingShot. Here is a picture of that:

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj101/crazy_kanaka/IMG_0620.jpg

Last week I did some testing on Hualalai Volcano, a volcano with some really sharp and nasty rocks which resulted from a post shield Alkali stage magma similar to Stromboli style eruptive features.

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj101/crazy_kanaka/IMG_0614.jpg

I am very impressed with this dig unit. I had time to drive two packs through it. I never had any problems with the dig engaging or disengaging from any of the three positions, it was always very smooth.

JPH thanks for getting it to me so quickly, S3R you've got a very excellent product.

Crazy: Thanks for posting the pics! Looks like you're in crawler heaven!

No problem. I figured some folks might want to see it installed in a SlingShot.

Since most of this island is lava fields, I'd say that I am in Crawler Heaven. But some of the terrain around here, in particular... A'a lava fields, could be called Crawler Hell as soon as you start breaking parts. The terrain in the pictures are a mix of both A'a and Pahoehoe lavas otherwise known as transision lava fields, making for some pretty brutal testing grounds. Fortunately this dig unit held up just fine in that terrain. 8)

I cant remember when I installed this thing for some damn reason.. (Stupid brain!!) but I bought one from Jake when he was first getting stock, before they hit the display case. But I know I've been thrashing on my rig pretty hard and heavy for the last few months, and I know I dont have the lightest rig on the block, so it's had a good workout.
Way to go stage 3 !"thumbsup":)

Has anyone used this dig in a CKRC Rock Star Chassis?
3/4" narrower than stock-would that create problems?????
I have a CKRC dig i now,very tight and not working great.

I hope these are as good as they look I have one on the way.

[the kil]

not only do they look good, but they can handle abuse when set up properly. i have one with a 40 turn motor on a 3s lipo, mip driven, to axles that have under/over drive r&p's. i have a slipper clutch but it is locked also. i can change the course before i break parts with this piece of functional jewelry"thumbsup"
