yeah, just pm harley for one and he will set you up, I think. I'm not sure if he still makes them but, give it a try. Thanks for the props,,and yeah i'm stuck on the red theme. I thought and a lot of others too, think my Berg build was super sweet.

carver · 10-14-2008, 09:39 PM

Well got a little bit more accomplished. Not so sure if this is what I'll run but, so far so good. I like the servo location, I'm not so hot on the linkage situation. I modded a stock servo plate and mounted it to the axle tube. Here's some pics:

Thanks again, My wheel base is at 12.5" on the dot.

Harley · 10-14-2008, 10:41 PM

I do still have a couple left.

You will like the Delrin lowers, it was very noticeable when I switched to Delrin from aluminum.

carver · 10-14-2008, 11:20 PM

Yeah i'm sure i'll like the delrin links too, all slippery and what not.
Stay tuned.

You sure know how to build a nice rig.

I have seen most of your builds and all of them are spectacular.

I thought you were my friend, I think i'm gonna cry.

Harley · 10-15-2008, 09:21 PM

No worries, I must have forgot to list in the add that these chassis actually drive themselves, soooooo your in luck

carver · 10-15-2008, 09:23 PM

LOL I'm not a bad driver, Really. My scores will prove so. oh yeah I beat e-hills4x4 at the WCCC so I'm not worried.

carver · 10-16-2008, 02:55 PM

Switched it up a bit. I think this will be the setup I will run. I'ts mocked up now with some cut and tapped pieces but my new linkage will replace them when it arrives. Check it out.

carver · 10-17-2008, 05:39 PM

Well, I have finished off the front end with some aluminum axle C's from RCP crawlers, Finished the steering linkage and Lipo mount. I got my motors today, 45T HW from Holmes Hobbies. Eritex inc. Comp heavy's w/Panther Cougars and, Delrin rings from Eritex inc. I will be modifying the wheels so stay tuned. I also got my body mounted, I will post some pic's later tonight.

RCHuffer · 10-17-2008, 06:12 PM

Carver, nice rig, will you be running this at the SDRCRC Finals at Wohlford?

carver · 10-17-2008, 06:19 PM

I will be running this rig at finals if my DNA dig unit shows up in time. Without it, my rig will not be able to compete. My chassis requires this unit to properly function.

calcat430d · 10-18-2008, 09:01 PM

i am getting very jealous. watching this build really makes me want something new for the finals. looking good cant wait to see it perform in person.

carver · 10-19-2008, 05:10 PM

Here's some updated pics, The modified Eritex wheels, I'm still waiting on the delrin rings.
