Looks good, you should mount the electronics on the links for a little lower COG |

....Got some more done on my J2-TT build.....pretty much finished all the soldering and install of the electronics...just waiting on my VF dig to arrive.Mounted my new Proline C10 body,need to cut the body post's still, Not sure what color to paint it yet( even tho i'd like to copy FrankyRizzo's flat black...love that thing) Threw on an old Grappler body i had,may have to get another one of them ...as always,would appreciate some feedback on changes i should make or set up problems you guys might see as this is pretty much my first 2.2 build that didn't include an instruction book...thanks...some more pics...

| yeah,got the VF dig put together and installed ....had to shave just a hair(about 1/16" off on part of the chassis )but other then that it fits great....i'll get some pics up here soon...Made a few other changes also that i didn't like so i haven't driven it yet waiting on my DX3r to be delivered today to set up my dig EPA's (kinda nervous about some of the feedback i'm hearing on the dig and servo set up,so i'm waiting to set it up using my new radio,and not even gonna bother using my DX3) *edit*...had it all put back together and realized the linkage would hit the chassis so i had to modify a bit ...not much just trimmed a little bit off one of the chassis side plate ...works great now ....lol...so far..lol Last edited by TIMZKRAWLER; 04-14-2008 at 10:57 PM. |
