|  RideLowInAGTO's awsome Frogger 2.0
Got the Frogger chassis a while back and it's been sitting, so I decided to finally give it the attention it needs. There plenty of work to be done before it's ready for its first comp. This is a new setup for me and im sure I will need lots of help/hints along the way. Parts on it currently... Frogger 2.0 chassis LOSI 4in shocks HB 2.2 Rovers Mamba Max HH 35t motor Axial CVD's Junfac shafts Narrowed XR10 wheels Over/Underdrive gears Hobby Co. CS170 servo Vanquish Zero-ackerman knuckles 5/8in grub screw wheel weights What's needs to be done/ bought... Different steering setup... BTA Clock the C-Hubs Beef Tubes Dig unit Mini T or RC18 springs VP Razors    Last edited by RideLowInAGTO; 10-17-2011 at 07:39 PM. |

Just two things i noticed, one the rear lower links might give better clearance flipped around. And second you are going to have a hard time getting that to turn with the caster so far forwards most ppl like more negative caster to clear shocks and improve steering.

Always great to see a "OG" Frogger. I have been updating mine lately. Great Job ! Keep up the tuning I always find more to do with mine.

Here's the pics i said i would have... The motors installed, now i need to make a esc mount for the front uppers out of lexan. I tried setting up the upper links different. LMK what you guys think. The front upper links are for mock up for the time being, swap them out with some custom ones later...     Also what mini-t springs would you recommend? How stiff? |

Most people seem to like the hot pink and/or orange ones. I recently picked up some springs for AE's RC18. I went for the Blue and Gold rate, don't know the actual rates off-hand. Not a common one, but I was able to find a thread on here somewhere. My LHS sold me 3 pairs for a whopping $6, they wanted $10 for 3 pairs of the Losi ones.
