Yeah me too, I am going to work on a 4 link set up as soon as some more progress gets done. Maybe make a new plate out of delrin?

XSRCdesign · 02-13-2010, 08:53 PM

That or mod the VP plate I am using...

I need parts in hand I guess.

carver · 02-13-2010, 09:31 PM

Hmm.. The VP plate might work. A little cutting and filing and it will look sweet. I should have somthing done here soon.

I got a lot done tonight. I am to tired to post picks so I will post up some awesomeness in the morning.

carver · 02-20-2010, 03:09 PM

I got the Hitec 7950 TG installed finally and shortned up the lead to the RX! The Axial BTA kit is awesome pretty good turning radius! And was a cinch to install.

I am running the Futaba low profile servo for the VP hurtz dig. Pretty smooth operation and was one of the easiest digs to install.

I am going to give the Rover EX's a shot. They seem pretty sticky, I mounted them up to some 1" VP SLW V2's NiCe!!! And I am running the 600 hubs

I managed to fit the CC BEC, Tekin FX-R, Spectrum Micro rx on a small tray made from lexan that is stuck to a Delrin standoff that came with the chassis. After shortening the leads it worked out pretty well.

I am using the Holmes Hobbies 35T handwound and it screams!!!

Also threw on some VP straight axle adapters. They look sweet.

Just finished trimming this up....

paystin · 02-20-2010, 04:17 PM

Looks nice Carver

Did you make the rear 4-link mount? I have never seen one like that on an Axial before.

carver · 02-20-2010, 04:36 PM

The mount is from CDW (Crawler Design Works) I am not sure if he is still making them or not. It works pretty good. I actually got it as low to the axle housing as possible by cutting the posts down.

muddog27 · 02-20-2010, 04:38 PM

looks good

carver · 02-20-2010, 04:39 PM

Thanks guys, I really wanted this one to be nice. It may be the last comp rig for a while. Hahahahahahahahahah

Sneed · 02-22-2010, 06:28 PM

Hells yeah. Looks greats. Kick ass w/ an axial

carver · 02-22-2010, 09:23 PM

Thanks sneed, it will be a great comp rig. It is probably the best investment towards winning

. I should have my super 300's here soon. Honestly I can't wait for them. I also need to order some wider hubs from VP, the 600's still make the tires rub hard on the shock and I lost two spring cups in less then a minute on the rip rap.

Order JeepinDoug C-Cups. Losing Spring cups will be a thing of the past....

I can't wait to have a rig that is just bulletproof!

d34thw1sh · 02-24-2010, 06:42 PM

Awesome build Carver! I have been drooling over it since page 1. Infact, this thread made me totally re-think my own build. I'm new to RCRC, but hooked just the same. After all the great info on this site, and watching builds like yours, I should have a better idea of building something more capable. Thanks again for the great thread!
