that´s what they´r supposed to do, eventually.
Cases are 3-racing after they´ve seen some oven cleaner.
Knuckles are from hell (i sold my soul).
C-hubs --> rcp
they´re gonna get modified mips to get 45° steering out of them and hardened integy gears.

more pictures will come as the built progresses.

Nice setup. Did you custom build the knuckles?

hende · 01-17-2009, 06:54 AM

i was going to remove all the green from my parts with oven cleaner how long did you let it siy on there??

Uli · 01-17-2009, 07:17 AM

it took forever, like 30 minutes. but i did it 3 or 4 times over and still had to sand the rest down. more efficient ist drain cleaner, but you better wear safety goggles and do that in the drive way. with drain cleaner it´s a matter of maybe 30-90 seconds. but don´t get that stuff in the areas like the tapped holes, because it really eats the aluminum up.

I will later on. I´m also gonna toss out all of the philips-head screws. It´s just for now, as I am progressing.

All i hear is Cha Ching!

Nice looking start

BuzzKilla · 01-29-2009, 08:04 AM

Uli, what are you using for the steering link. and to you think it would hold to the abuse?

O.C.D. · 01-29-2009, 09:17 AM

Um, wow, expensive axles!!! Hell, I would have done it to.

Great BTA design you did there. Looks like you will have great link clearance when said and done.

Also like the aluminum l-brackets you cut up. At first I was worried about them hanging cause of the 90 angles, but you should be alright.

Will watch for more.

Those are sweet. An upgrade for the axial cases?

It´s 4mm stainless steel rod, and it will hold

BuzzKilla · 02-02-2009, 08:27 AM
