| sw2 and axial
My sw2 running the axial gear i went with the sw2 since there are no sw3's right now... but im planning on picking up a gc-01 by the ECC anyways here are a few pics and info axles: axial trans: axial tires: Masher M3s / Pro Line Badlands wheels: mayhem eng (when they arrive) battery: 7 cell saddle pack from MaxMap motor: simple 45 turn esc: rooster crawler with a castle bec servo: hitec 5595 dig servo: hitec 225MG (to work with the VF system) dig: VF System (also when it arrives) shocks: traxxas with yellow losi fronts 30wt, traxxas red on right 30wt, traxxas black left rear 75wt body: pro line rockstar the only thing i dont have any idea about is the radio gear open for any ideas i cut my own skid plate, narrowed the chassis by about 1/4'' (may change that if the VF dig won't fit.... im also going to run my own lockers i milled down, they have zero hours of test time so we shall see Last edited by rbl; 03-26-2008 at 08:59 PM. |

i ground down the drive cups today. very simple and easy mod to get a little more steering out of the axle i taped them up to be sure to stay straight finished i ground them down enough to where my tires that iv got on it now are hitting the links (proline 8 holes and m2ks) and at full lock the knuckle are hitting the screw for the axle C so i figured that was plenty until i got a new set of alum. knuckles and C's |

not sure if you've had a chance to run yours yet. i put mine through a real test last weekend and had unbelievable results. i'm running axial axles, pede tranny, cc sidewinder, holmes hobbies brushless motor.

i installed a traxxas receiver to test is out and to set the servo... it was pretty good. i was impressed for shop crawling...didnt have a chance to go outside its been raining here for a week now and everything is sloppy/muddy so maybe by the time my other items get here it will be dry Last edited by rbl; 04-04-2008 at 02:50 PM. | |
