Please let me know if U have ANY ??
Foreign order's welcome , pm me for shipping info.
Money orders & paypal welcome.


Thanks for looking.... THE DMG

[hotwheels000]

Do you have any shots of the chassis with nothing installed ?

[Racer4Life]

That thing look awesome. Very nice work!

Not sure, but what size servo is the 225? Standard size or smaller?

Are the axle servo mounts available for sale?


Thanks
Tom

[Offroader5]

I love the design. Looks mean:lol:

So, is the R2D the only trans that fits in the alotted space...or are you saying that it only has mounting hole provisions for that particular trans? What are the internal dimensions available for the trans to sit? I'm just wondering if a Stealth or even the new Axial trans would fit.

How about a pic from the bottom showing the skid?:)

[toy4crawlin]

Great job on the Crawler "thumbsup"

[JohnRobHolmes]

I have seen these Frames in person, and they are NICE! Every one is perfectly lined up, and the strength can't be beat. On top of that, they look cool. Congrats on getting vendor status here, you will do very well.

[clodstall]

looks great. and congrats also on the blue star.

[RivBlueNoma]

Right on! Glad to see the vendor status."thumbsup"

The quality put into these tubers is just amazing. Very strong design, not to mention purdy too.

[jwcustomwurks]

Jerry's stuff is top notch"thumbsup" I just ordered one"thumbsup"

[dezfan]

Another fan here! See them in person and they are incredible!

Good luck Jerry!"thumbsup"

[RivBlueNoma]

Talked with Jerry this afternoon, keep an eye out for a Axial AX-10 Scorpion specific version that will use as much box stock parts as possible. 8)"thumbsup"

[muddauber7]

glad to see you finally made it official.
these chassis are sweet, dude's got mad skills:shock:!!!
you know you want one...8)

[Freq E Tag]

Man, its great to see the masses coming out to support the "new" guy. :)

Jerry's work is top notch. 5 stars.

[pureadrenalin]

Are these chassis made to order? How soon can we expect to get one?

[Offroader5]

Thanks so much for all the props and interest, I really appreciate it!

Here's some additional info and pics.

First - Transmission mounting plate info

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/kcrc_2006/S7300381.jpg

The trans plate is 89mm x65mm (3.50 X 2.56)

Finished lower chassis half showing interior space.

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/kcrc_2006/S7300392.jpg

Distance between top rails 125mm at widest point.

Thanks, this is the info I was looking for. Sounds like if you had a shoe horn, you could almost get a pede to fit. :lol:

Same question as Pureadrenalin...is there a "stock" of these, or is there a wait period after it's ordered?

[Racer4Life]

Are these chassis made to order? How soon can we expect to get one?

Yeh, I want him to get one. Then I'll get it a month later!:lol:

[ZORLAC]

right now they are made to order only.
i am finishing jwcustomwurks right now , but i have the next one in the jig. (this one is not sold yet!)
it takes 7 to 10 days build time on a chassis.

[clarkrw3]

Man...I don't need one of these. But I want one anyway!!!

A quick shot of the raw chassis for those that asked....

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/kcrc_2006/dcv_bare.jpg

A little filing, sanding and buffing.... then... bling!

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

oh yeah, i think a pede would fit in there...8)

now that 3rd channel Hitec you use, is it a standard size servo?:?:

[RivBlueNoma]

now that 3rd channel Hitec you use, is it a standard size servo?:?:

Taken from post#14:
There is room for virtually any size servo. I can make the mount to fit your dimensions. I run a Hitec 225 Mighty Mini with steel gear set on 6 volts. Works perfect and is small and lightweight.

These are not mine to sell, but hopefully the info I found in post#14 will help. If not Im sure Zorlac can give you better details.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

cool, thanks for the info!

i guess i know where september's Prudential check is going!!!8)

oh yeah, you got a build-up thread of this chassis?

[eric113]

Will you have any other designs or this it ?

[lunchbox]

Sorry, I may just be having a retarded monent, but I don't see how the dig servo mounts in this pic... or is this the old version?

[wakflash]

Is there a contact #, email address or web site I can order one on. thanks

[lqdKaos]

Is there a contact #, email address or web site I can order one on. thanks


x2 "thumbsup"

[Freq E Tag]

Just helping out while the DMG is working the "regular" job....

Just PM for purchasing info. No website yet.

The chassis shown in the pic does NOT have the extra bar for the dig servo mount installed. That is a cross-brace that is added after the servo is decided on.

Hope this helps guys.

[wakflash]

thanks much for the info

[ZORLAC]

Official Ordering Information

I have had a lot of requests to order so here is all the info you need to get a chassis.

1. PM me with what you want (Raw, Finished, or Buffed)

2. Let me know what tranny you are using (R2 or R2D or other)

3. If using the R2D, I need to know what servo you are using on it (Model #)

4. Send PayPal to: littlehogfarm@hotmail.com

5. Get excited cause you're getting a super cool new chassis!

Also, we will be releasing other chassis designs soon, stay tuned.

[kawika]

Will this tube chassis work with the final version of the r2d? The motor on the final version is mounted to the rear of the transmission next to the disconnect mechanism.

[ZORLAC]

yes the moter can be mounted in the front or rear.

thanks.

[ZORLAC]

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/kcrc_2006/Picture103.jpg
heres a tezer pic of the dcs chassis soon to come from the DEATH METAL GARAGE. a direct replacement chassis for the stock scorpion chassis "thumbsup"

[lunchbox]

Ooooooooohhhh

[eric113]

Just Wondering, Are you using mig or tig for the chassis's ?

[RivBlueNoma]

Just Wondering, Are you using mig or tig for the chassis's ?

Its all Tig welded. Can a Mig be used on aluminum?

[eric113]

Its all Tig welded. Can a Mig be used on aluminum?

[ZORLAC]

[ZORLAC]

[tsaun987]

Nice work. That thing looks to be bomb-proof!!!

[tru]

looks great cant waitt o get it thanks again jerry

[dezfan]

That's a work of art Jerry!"thumbsup"

[lunchbox]

Wow, another great looking chassis. You keep this up and I may have to sell a gun to fund another build.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

dang, that thing looks beautiful! and all you did was sand it by hand to get it that smooth??

i realllllllly like how these chassis look. they have a bit of a resemblance to an E-mod oval racer...8)

i truely think i have found my b-day present, what is the waiting list for these at the moment? could one be ready by the begining of november???:shock:

[ZORLAC]

I have two in stock right now and 3 more soon to be finished.
& yep , hand sanded.

thanks

[clodstall]

beautiful work.

[tru]

reciever the tuber on monday couldn't be happier. Super light and rigid

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

is there any chance of you guys making paper/posterboard templates for the sides panels for those of us interested in the raw, unfinished chassis?

i seriously almost have my GF convinced to get me one of these instead of an Ipod for my birthday....8)

[ZORLAC]

yes we do. the DCV & DCS (in raw form) will be shipped with all the panel templates .
this will help everyone wen making pannels , just trace and cut! "thumbsup"

thanks THE DMG

[JasonInAugusta]

Nice stuff and great craftsmanship!

[ZORLAC]

Still deciding witch design to use & if we are going to make it a direct stock fit chassis or not , seems everyone is getting rid of the long stock shocks & adding a upper 4 link set up.
Just don't want build a chassis for stuff no one is using ( IE , shocks & upper link's).
Our 2ed stock prototype was pretty tall on the side's , not good.
We are working on a new prototype that will use smaller ( traxxas ) shocks and bring down the tall side problem. not shure about the upper link set up yet!
Any info on you're ax set up would welcome "thumbsup" , myself - i don't have one yet , so i need all the input i can get on how every one wants this chassis designed.
Just wanting to build a cool chassis design that you guy's like & set up the way you want !
still working hard on it.

thanks's for asking!

[RivBlueNoma]

In referance to the DC"S" version for the Axial Scorpion. "thumbsup"

[balang_479]

this is one awesome chassis, looks sick and in aluminium.... in the future all tubers will be like this one (or similar)

"thumbsup"
pity i dont have the moula.

[trav99ss]

I've been wanting to pick up a Scorpion, but only if I was sure there would be a good tube chassis available for it. Yours definitely looks like the one!

Any estimate on a completion date?

[marzzz23]

do you guys have any video footage of this tuber in action? if not I would really like to see some........thanx

[RivBlueNoma]

Got all kinds of new stuff in mind , first the DCS chassis will be offered in two version's.

#1 - DCS Direct fit tuber , that will use only stock part's !
#2 - DCS pro version (based on the DCV chassis) , using a 4 link set up & shorter shocks




Woohoo! The cat is out of the bag now."thumbsup" Its a win-win situation for both the hard core crawlers and crawlers who just want a direct bolt on chassis.

The DCS pro will use shorter shocks, as in Maxx 4" as opposed to the super long Axial stock shocks. That alone makes the pro version worth while to me. "thumbsup"

[stanbro]

????

[ZORLAC]

i got my tester setting up the DCS PRO prototype right now ! "thumbsup"
should have more info & pics next week.

thanks

[flomofo]

more please...:shock:

[xzotic-1]

any pics of the new tuber with the AX10 parts.

[crawl rookie]

I want to see the superclass tuber!:twisted:

[4u2nv]

Any updates on these? I'm looking for something you might see as 1:1 rig.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

#5 - Also a DCC chassis for the super class crawler's , this is going to be a BAD BOY !!!

i am interested in this, too!! is it going to be for clod axles, or can we run shafty axles with it??8)

[channo]

please keep us posted if for a direct fit wheely king chassis

[RivBlueNoma]

Awesome to see its finally released. I would like to point out that the lower aluminum plate that the tranny and skid plate bolt to wont look all crazy chopped up like the one pictured.
Mine is that way because we started with a standard DCV chassis as the prototype and cut up/modded that plate to make use of the triangulated lower link suspension set up. Just remember that none of the chassis Zorlac sells will go out to his customers looking like that.

Best part about the DCV/Pro is that it can use Axial parts AND use Maxx style shocks. No more gangly Axial shocks. That alone makes it worth while IMHO. "thumbsup"

[scaryclownguy]

The pictures don't do this thing justice. I got to see it at the last comp, and it looks clean. Are you going to have it ready for Dec 8th? I am going to get one of the aluminati's in the near future.

[RivBlueNoma]

Hey Brian, you wont be dissapointed with anything Jerry sells. Im hoping to have it ready for the comp. It really hinges on whether I get a dig set up going in time.

Should get to see this baby skinned within a day or two.8)

[Shaggy5050]

Wow wow and wow.!
That is some beautiful workmanship

[HITMAN]

You have PM

[ZORLAC]

I,m looking for a chassis tester here in the KC , MO & KC , KS area for a new chassis design I'm working on.
you must have to be willing to use your radio - Rx , speedo & servo , of your own for this project & test it well !
i will supply the rest , this is going to be a TLT based rig for now & promises to be some thing very revolutionary in design.
you will be very well rewarded for helping out with this project and most likely , production chassis #1 !! "thumbsup"

if interested PM me here on RCC and please not here on this thread ,
open to only crawlers in this area please.

thanks THE DMG.

[deer_assassin]

Thanks John, topnotch work that is for sure, the whole chassis is square and balanced, the little details show the hard work and thought that went into this chassis. I am really glad I got one, and am looking forward to when I will be able to order up another.8)"thumbsup"

I'm very, very interested in your Super Tuber.

Do you have any idea on the wheelbase fitment range for it yet??

Will you be making custom sizes & designs to order at some point?

super class tubers and built based on the rules for chassis requirements....

[theacura]

Waiting for the ALLUMINTI , cant wait ill post pics of the build !

[jrkilburn]

Don't forget to send me some pics during the build (as long as it doesn't slow you down that is).

[theacura]

this is my new crawler jerry makes some bad toys!!
first build let me know what you guys think?http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg84/theacura/000_1581.jpghttp://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg84/theacura/000_1580.jpghttp://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg84/theacura/000_1579.jpg

[Crawlin4fun]

Looks great, I like the carbon fiber panels "thumbsup"

Here's my chassis, Jerry shipped it to me Today so I should have it in a couple days. I will post some finished pics this weekend.

[5150bronco]

I am interested, sent you a pm. Thanks.

[Crawlin4fun]

jerry, I received my chassis today and pictures do not do this chassis justice " no pun intended " it is way cooler when you have it right in front of you to admire. I have started some initial mock-up and should have some completed pics by the weekend.

Thanks for offering such a great chassis "thumbsup"

This chassis is so BAD!! Love it. "thumbsup"

[jrkilburn]

Got mine today and it looks like a peice of art. Can't wait to get it together.

[GeneralG]

Seriously considering purchasing one of these chassis... just not sure on which one!! uuuurrr. They do look very nice. "thumbsup"

[Offroader5]

Are you still offering the chassis in it's polished form for the higher price?

[ZORLAC]

yea i will still polish chassis , but because of the time involved thing , polishing will $50.00 and 2 days to the build time!
it just takes so much time to polish a chassis & panels.


thanks
ZORLAC

[toy4crawlin]

Zorlac
These are really nice ! and I'm a Very Picky person

if I may , I'd like to comment on the how the chassis looks backwards
the extra side window should be a little smaller and in the back.

Would you agree or see yourself changing that?

I'm looking to put my first 2.2 together
How much are these?
Inside measurements?

[2JSC]

I take it all of these chassis are comp legal? Does the Alluminti have room for a Pede trans?

[ZORLAC]

yep - all legal to , length , hight , width rules "thumbsup"
plenty of room for a ped tranny.

[toy4crawlin]

Dude....I really like your eye for design on all these tubers. I don't know which one to pick :lol: Maybe I'll wait till I see the "super" sized version 8)

[bRIBEGuy]

Any word on when the Super class frame is gonna be available?

I was thinking of going for a RCP Hustler, but I do dig your aluminum work/designs.

Let me know...........thanx.

[Crawlin4fun]

Looks good, but I wasn't the one that wanted to see changes "thumbsup"

[ZORLAC]

sorry crawlin4fun , thats toy4crawlin , fixed it !

[toy4crawlin]

YEs, but make the front bar smaller/shorter or remove it, help make it more scale looking I believe is the key to a great looking tuber ;-)

What is the weight differance with Aluminum as apposed to a tube steel with a tuber of this size ?

[bRIBEGuy]

Take 2:

Any information about the release of the "Super Class" frame yet? Pics? Timeline?

I'm in the market for a tube frame, and was leaning towards a RCP Hustler..........but the aluminum stuff sure is nice..........

Lemme know.

[STEW<CO>]

What is the weight differance with Aluminum as apposed to a tube steel with a tuber of this size ?You shouldn't be asking a vender to change his product just for you unless your willing to pay him extra to build you your own custom chassis. Is that what your wanting, to pay for your own custom chassis?

[BeeRC]

I'm sure ready for the super class chassis you've mentioned to be produced and available for purchase. Do you know ifl they be available soon, or do you think it will be some time yet?

My personal need is your chassis for the 14" wheebase 'super class' rigs, which are becoming much more popular as of late. Also hoping for one of your chassis that would accomodate the more 'conventional' 16" to 18" wheelbase 'super class' rigs. Are you planning anything in either of these wheelbase ranges? If not, do you know yet what "Super Class" wheelbase, or wheelbases, you are planning to accomodate with your upcoming Super Class tube chassis?

Thanks very much, and patiently waiting.

[ZORLAC]

Up late last night !
Working on the DMG super class chassis.
I have been working hard on catching up on my 2.2 chassis orders ,
and haven't had much time for the super chassis build :?.

But good news - it think i have finely built one , that i like the styling on !!
The chassis is about 90% done right now & i should have some pics up in the next few days.

Thanks for showing interest in a DMG super class everyone "thumbsup".
hang in there , its on the way !!

thanks
ZORLAC

[Crawlin4fun]

on the dc/wk are you running internal and external springs or just the externals?

[ZORLAC]

i am running both internal & external springs !

ZORLAC

[jrkilburn]

Crawlin4fun, Post up some pics of our aluminati's I can't seem to get pics to load. For an computer savy guy I suck at posting pics on here.

Zorlac, I am starting a super based on AX-10 running gear and I would love to see your Aluminati in SUPER SIZE!

[Crawlin4fun]

They look like 18r externals and are you running the rcp internals?

I will post pics tomorrow

[BeeRC]

It's great news on the super chassis being so close to reality. I sure hope that the design looks good and that the quality, especially the welds and the finishing of the welds is excellent. Thanks!!

What range of wheelbase lengths are you planning for it to fit (or work) properly with?

Will you be designing more than one chassis length to accomodate both the longer and more numerous 16" to 18" wheelbase supers and the new shorter 14" wheelbase supers?

[infamouse_1]

ok im not min the us main land im on guam outerlaying islands of the us can you give estimate build time and price and shipping cost!!!!!!! thanx"thumbsup"the chassis is really good looking wouldnt mind getting my hands on one of that

[LumTheMad]

Awesome! Looks like I'm on the list for an Alluminati! "thumbsup"

[sloth]

I should be receiving my alluminati next week sometime.These tubers are peices of art IMO.

You need to check out our club at www.TEAMSVSC.com (http://www.TEAMSVSC.com)
Hey guys, this is a vendors thread. I think the purpose of the thread is for the vendor to answer questions and sell his products. Theres an entire forum here for chit-chat.

Hey guys, this is a vendors thread. I think the purpose of the thread is for the vendor to answer questions and sell his products. Theres an entire forum here for chit-chat.

I do agree with this post ^ , however, as rapidly as things fade down the vendor board, this is a back to top for the vendor. This is important, I had not seen or heard of this chassis until 2 days ago when this thread surfaced at the right time for me to see it on the main page, I checked it out, now I have one on order. I wasn't looking for a chassis, but I do/did have some extra parts around to hang on the right chassis. This looks like the right one to me."thumbsup" If this slips off the first page, IMO, it becomes hard to sell products with no traffic.

HELL YEAH, JERRY!!!!! i want on the list as one of your first testers!!!!:twisted:

[ZORLAC]

The DMG introduces the DCCv1 prototype.
i have been getting a lot of request for a super class chassis !
this is my first try at a true super class comp rig & its my 3rd design so far.
the first two were not as cool looking as this design.
i am trying to build a chassis that everyone likes, wants & all-so works good.
i do plan to offer this chassis soon , but i just need to know what everyone thinks so far.

these pic's are of the prototype chassis.
i do have most of the production jig set up , but the final design could vary from this design.
this is the first step , see what you-all think !
then i will finish up the design & production jig. do some testing ,then i will be ready to take orders.
i would like to thank everyone for showing interest in the DMG , and i await your comments or thought's

thanks ZORLAC

[sloth]

Very cool chassis jerry.What are the dimensions on this chassis?I really dig those lower links, what is the link for that are connecting the lower links?

[sloth]

Oh yeah forgot sent pm this morning.

[ZORLAC]

the DCCv1
13 1/4" L x 5 1/4" W x 3 3/4" T

lower cross bar is to help stabilize the lower links

[Crawlin4fun]

Looks Like I will have to build a super, I love my DMG aluminiti "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

[Offroader5]

Looks killer "thumbsup" What is that...5/16" rod? I assume the cross link is so the lowers don't twist around from the shocks being mounted on the link.

Those plates in the side panels where the links mount...are they set back enough so that the head of the link bolt won't interfere with the side panel going on flush?

Would be cool to see it with the sides and hood on it 8)

BTW...I love the Discover card skid :)

[Offroader5]

One other thing that may cause a headache for you in the making of the panels. The tube node at the rear of the cab where the center side bar meets the b-pillar is set back from the vertical that comes up from the rear of the skid. This is causing an area where when you make the side panels, there will be some tricky bends to make it fit flush to all the tubes that make up the perimeter of the side.

I hope that made sense :lol:

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

VERY COOL LOOKING! and it looks to be SHAFTY friendly, too! just got to tweak the link set up a bit...

what wheel base do you have th set to at the moment?

and you ready to send one of these bad boys up north for testing??

[ZORLAC]

as it set's , its 16 1/2" W/B.
and yes a credit card on the skid ! and no it not a valid one !

all so , not much axle steer.
ill try moving the upper link's down a bit & see if that helps.

i have one side panel done , i hope to have the lower link bolts protrude out a small hole in the panel.

ill mount the side panels tomorrow & build a hood for it.

thanks
ZORLAC

[clarkrw3]

very trick looking...I dig it!!

[bRIBEGuy]

VERY nice.

Will the high clearance links be included with the frame (or even sold separately)?

Any idea on timelines & prices for the release of this?

[Tanis]

Super chassis looks good Jerry, my 002 Alluminti is getting transformed into a 14"er. Waiting on axles right now, I'll post pics when I get it done."thumbsup"

[Wicked_Jester]

are you going to offer a package complete with lower links??

[tat2INDY]

how long until the super is available?

[ZORLAC]

MERRY CHRISTMAS

[Freq E Tag]

Waiting to see whats next for the Axial.... I hear things... big things.... :)

[lunchbox]

What's the wait time on an Aluminati chassis?

[themerc64]

It is probably needed because of the limited triangulation the links provide and when shocks are mounted directly to the lower links they tend to rotate the lower links. I have the same issue with my G-made Spider because of the shape of the lower links. Adding that cross link is a good idea that I am going to try on the Spider.

[DevilDriver]

Hi Jerry,
I'd like to know can I use the clod axles on the DMG Pro or any chassis you're making right now? or I should wait untill your new clod chassis project will be finished oh! one more thing how much for the new clod chassis by the way thanks
Alex

[lIRATIl]

How much are the DC/WK's?

[Espeefan]

Jerry, how's the progress coming along on the Clod chassis? I'd sure like to pick one up! Got a set of Clod axles waiting to be bolted to either my new RCP tuber or a chassis like yours.

Hey Jerry that Pro looks familiar...
Anyone thinking of getting one of these chassis, just do it, Jerry is a great guy to deal with, even if you're on the other side of the world. Quick to reply to e-mails and questions, even let me change my mind at the last minute. "thumbsup" Shipped when he said it would and even got progress shots of it being built. Chassis is a work of art and with a bit of metal polish is blinding. Thanks again Jerry.

[Vapex.eu]

Great work, at the moment no money here, but wondering what the DSC/v1 must cost.

[ZORLAC]

Great work, at the moment no money here, but wondering what the DSC/v1 must cost.

all my chassis are $185.00 , kinda pricey but each chassis takes over 25 hours to build !

thanks ZORLAC

[maddog2099]

Not pricey, for the quality. Really good price for the amount of time put into these, and for how great they look.

[Mikey007]

could you build a dcs v1 to work with clod axles? That style is what I'm looking at for a super.

[Knytemare]

Considering the quality that they are the price is actually a steal. I'm saving my money to get one. I really like the look of the DCS/V1 and am saving up for that one.

[cspyy]

you dont happen to have pics of these new chassis rolling do you?

I am trying to figure out which one of these to get. What are the differences between the DCV Pro and the Alluminiti? Advantages of one over the other for a 2.2 comp, with AX10 tranny and axles?
Thanks.

[jrkilburn]

I compete with my aluminati and see no problems with the design. The pro looks a little lighter because it doesn't have the shock mount protection that the aluminati has.

[BitHed]

...oh my goodness me :shock: I need a change of pants...

...Are these available in black too? Other colours too maybe? or just polished? hopefully i wont miss out on one of these...Knowing my luck there will be a 6-month waiting period :roll:

BitHed , you could be the first !! ;-)

thanks zorlac

[cwkoehler]

Thanks Jerry

I'm pretty happy to say the least with the DCV Pro you made me. Now its time for me to step up the plate and add some customizing myself.

Quick question - what grade/type of aluminum is it? I ask because I may be anodizing the entire chassis.

I also added a three dimensional hood ornament appropriate for a Death Metal Creation.

Now if I only didnt snap my drive gear in half I would be off and running. The crawlmaster with 3 cell lipo is hell on parts

11 Days, 19 Hours, 36 Minutes, 41 Seconds till my chassis is here YAY:lol:

that's still a long wait:shock:

[nova power]

what did you order the Pro or the Alluminite?I cant decide what one to get I like the sleek look of the pro but like the balance of the Alluminite.

[kblackwell71]

I ordered the pro, I had a hard time making up my mind also, but I liked the look of the Pro more:).

my ax-10 kit should get here today, I'll have everything else assembled so when my chassis gets here it will be a fast assembly"thumbsup"

[TK421]

I can't wait to see mine in that line up. I am going to order on the first. This is gonna be so friggin Rad!!

now I just hope my axial kit gets here quickly:shock:

[kblackwell71]

Hey Z,

is there a certin type of aluminum polish to use on the panels or will any aluminum polish work??

thanks

[montereycrawler]

I don't know what Jerry is going to recomend but I wet sanded it with 400 grit and used Blue Magic (you can get at an auto parts store). The combo worked pretty well and better than using a polishing compound and wheel on a dremel.

[TK421]

I just ordered my Pro!! I hope it will be home waiting for me when I get home from the sand box. Indiana here I come!!!

Lou

[nova power]

Just wanted to ask what kind of shocks everybody is using on thier pro?Droop or sprung?

[TK421]

Is there clearance for a 7T puller in the Pro with an AX10 tranny?

Lou

Lou

I have a 7t mounted to an Axial trans in my Pro. The only thing that makes it a little tight is the right rear upper link where it mounts to the chassis. I am running a smaller spur gear which gives me the room I need without drilling new mounting holes for the trans. If you drill new holes you will have lots of room. There is plenty of room to move the trans to the left if needed.

[speed goat]

YAY my dcv/pro in in the mail <happy dance> if my axial kit ever shows up:shock: I will post the build.

DMG RULES!!!!!

Looks Saweet
cant wait to see it

[TK421]

That sounds awsome. What spur, pinion, and battery are you running? What kind of runtimes are you seeing? Can you post a pic of the running gear installed?

Lou

Lou

I have mine in a 1.9 rockracer so it will be a little different. My tires are only 4" in diameter and the whole rig with a 2100 lipo only weighs 4lbs. 1oz.

I am using a 16t pinion and 81t spur. You have to file the bolt holes in the tranny plate a little to get the motor in closer to the trans with this gearing. It has LOTS of wheelspeed and pretty good lowspeed crawlability with a 3s lipo. It is only 4lbs though.

Because of the 11" wheelbase and lower ride height I have limited room for a battery. I think my best bet is to run two 910 3s lipos in parallel. One on the ft. links and one on the rear. Because it's a rockracer I don't want to drop below 1500mah.

[BitHed]

...clever mount for the ESC "thumbsup"

...so, open question to all the owners...Which chassis is brigning the best out of the AX10 chassis and tranny?

[Stormin2u]

They are all great looking chassis, nice craftsmanship very much worth the price IMO.

[kblackwell71]

my chassis should be here today :D:D:D:D my axial kit showed up yesterday"thumbsup" my rock rims should be here by thursday:D:mrgreen:all i need to do before i start my build is learn how to post pictures in the forum....
