The Nerd's SSS-R All the same spec's as the old SSS just with a nice shiny new chassis. Pics finally. Check out that ground clearance 8-) Only thing I don't like is the front links are in the road of the tires but I have 725 hubs on the way so hopefully that will fix that. Other than that the flex feels great and it seems to be more controlled and smoother than the old version. http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040361.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040360.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040359.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040358.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040363.jpg Kieren |

Looks good but why aren't you using the front upper link/servo mount that came with the kit? |
Looks cool man... How does the pretzel go on this rig.:flipoff: |
Well? Come on......everyone else is talking about it.....how much does yours weigh? :mrgreen: Quote:

This makes me hate the Canadian border even more. Mine still hasn't shown up but the guy in Australia has it. It's good to see that the Vanquish dig fits in there. I was thinking about that after I ordered it. Looks good. |

Yeah geometry is what I was worried about to, hopefully the wide hubs will fix that though. Quote:

On a side note, I didn't know an FXR could handle a puller. This is something I'll need to look into. |

Yeah very muchly so, gets to about 4-5 I think so equivalent of running a mod motor according to the instruction Manuel. Only rated to 3s which is not enough for some people, but is plenty for the 7t. Plus it's tiny which helps in mounting. Kieren |
My attempt at neat wiring :lol: Tekin wires were shortened to length, CC bec wires shortened (it is mounted under the plate), Dig servo wires will be lengthened. I might shorten the S9157 wires too but I dunno. http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040374.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040375.jpg Kieren |

First trial run on the brick pile was incredible it is so much more planted and the ground clearance is very helpful8) Lack of steering is a big problem though, but I'll hold out on doing anything drastic till I get the new hubs. Heading out again to some real rocks this arvo so I might get some pictures then. Kieren |
Tested her out on the beach today worked fantastic. It does have a bit of torque twist and the steering is well not great. Most of the pictures turned out rubbish so I filted through and got the best I could. http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0401resize.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0400resize.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0394resize.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0392resize.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0383resize.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0377resize.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...0414resize.jpg The ground clearance alone is worth the switch from the old SSS. It seems a lot more stable and sidehills very well. Jumps nicely too :lol: Kieren P.S. to those of you that are permanently disable I commend you on your ability to compete in this sport. Crawling with a cast is nothing but annoying. |
Just a small update. I've been working on a one piece dig servo mount to replace the old 2 piece one. This is what I've got so far. Now I just need to drill some holes and she's ready to bolt up and use. http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040436.jpg Kieren |
Just another small update. Dig mount finished and it is much better, if anything better than the old style with two pieces, it allows no flex. Also got my 725 hubs today, I can get full steering with only a tiny bit of rubbing. Not sure I am liking the offset though, but we'll see how it goes. I'd rather deal with funny looking steering movement then minimum steering. http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040438.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040437.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040439.jpg http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/P1040440.jpg Kieren |
