Here`s some pics of the rig so far, please comment if there is something looking wrong, this is my first build!

Felsenfest no sloop spools installed, no sloop at all!


Had to put some spacer to get full turn on the LD Racing bta kit, 6mm with spacer did the job!















Thanks to gunnar for some nice body post/mount, and music wire for the cvd and hex!


The length on the car ended up on 13,1", so R2J is making som custom links to me, this is the stock R2J ax10 links.
The stock would fit with right length, if mounted on the stock location, but i had to move the inward to get clearance to the shocks.

Thanks, feel free to comment if something is wrong!

Just waiting for the last parts to arrive from VP and R2J to get the build complete...
There wasn`t room for the stock vp hurst dig bracket, so had to order the mini servo bracket, and some procomp wheels at the same time!

the stock bracket worked for me , did you try removing the first rear support? heard the mini servos have plenty of power plus you save a little weight

Did not try to remove the first rear support, but the standard servo hit the upper links, bought the HS-225MG mini servo and mini bracket from VP, so i hope there`s room now, and weight saving as a bonus to!

I have no clue with link geomatry, thought i would begin in the upper mount and drive for a while, and try different setup later...
Or is the upper mount hole a bad idea?

cvd`s= AX10 competition universal joint and axial c hubs.

Here`s a pic. of turning angle right now, when i get the procomp wheels from vp they will have a wider offset so i get more steering...
I had to put on some 6mm spacers on the ld racing bta kit linkage, to increase the steering angle, it conflicted with the 3link connector on the axle.

Remove the plug to access the set screws on the Felsenfest locker. Rig looks good I should have tapered the ends of the braces just a bit.

Maybe next time i buy some from you, it could be tapered, but great mounts, and easy to use...
