So I tore down my original frogger to build up the new new frogger.

Waiting on the chassis but I figured I would start the thread now, here's where I'm at.

Front axle
O/D gears
STRC relocating plate
HR hubs
Axial Knuckles
JR z9100t steering
Beef Tubes (set to extra clocking!)
Felsenfest spools
Rowdy Racing servo armor
HB servo horn

Rear Axle
U/D gears
Axial plastic lockouts and straight axles
Made a plate like Casey did to try out, have a TCS boomerang plate on the side

Axial transmission
FXR
Tekin 35t
CC BEC
Spektrum SR300

And the rod ends

Shocks are from a traxxas rustler (the monster jam one so they are green)

Wheels and tires are Pro-Line Chisels and Pro-Line Titus beadlocks (until I can afford some VP black/greens)

As for the color scheme i am getting a purple chassis with the green shocks, not sure if I am going to dye the white parts. I want black wheels with green rings. the panels are going to be painted with a purple/green that i used on my original AX10 which used to have these axles and trans. Here is a picture of the paint on the B-17 body

Nice looking build up so far, but the big question is does this mean no sportsman this weekend. What's the ETA on those Poison Dart 2's ?

DioptricStraw · 04-14-2011, 09:38 PM

Ya no sporty this weekend just the SWX in the pro class.

The tracking info says its departed Hong Kong facility. I'm pretty sure its express so i might get it in time to do a rough build up, we will see.

I'm also waiting on our Junfac shafts to get here too.

cagedcbr · 04-14-2011, 09:50 PM

Well I'm not complaining LOL gives me a better chance. I've been waiting on my rear big bores, the LHS was having issues getting them into Canada because they are packaged with oil. Once I have those and the shafts I'm done with the GC3A, I got someone to buy my Wraith so I can go ahead with the XR (fingers crossed).

DioptricStraw · 04-14-2011, 09:53 PM

Are you running the GC3A as a sporty?

cagedcbr · 04-14-2011, 10:02 PM

Yup, No Diggity yet. I had to paint up my C10 to have a legal body too. Hopefully there are enough entries that they don't cancel Sportsman, might have to bring some 1.9's LOL.

KC_JoNeS · 04-14-2011, 10:13 PM

Sub'd! Dood...your chassis should be there very shortly.

Casey

DioptricStraw · 04-16-2011, 09:56 AM

Checked the tracking again CINCINNATI HUB, OH. So i should have it on Monday.

I plan on getting it roughed together and running by Wednesday night to give it a shake down run at the LHS and get some action shots. I keep checking the tracking number waiting for it to say "out for delivery".

DioptricStraw · 04-18-2011, 07:52 PM

Alright, so i missed the DHL man today

But i will get him tomorrow!!

Trimmed up the motor plate today

Cant wait for tomorrow!

Highlucks · 04-18-2011, 08:15 PM

Ah man that it sucks ball when you miss the delivery man, make sure you get him tomorrow. Hey what colour did you go for?

He said purple chassis up above

DioptricStraw · 04-18-2011, 08:58 PM

Yep purple chassis is what i got. Not sure on the delrin dye yet but purple and green are the colors so far. I think i am gonna get those new VP hub/knuckles when they are released. Combined with a bta i think this thing is gonna be just the thing i need to kill some moa's (guess i'll need a dig too)

KC_JoNeS · 04-18-2011, 09:30 PM

Damn! That sucks. I was really hoping for some pics today.

Nice! Hmmm now all you need is some Delrin rings dyed and your set

Psh Dig... I run a rig with a UD rear and some clocking and nothing to fancy other than that and ive pulled some insane lines. Mind you I haven't gone up against an MOA but it all boils down to skill. and having fun and praying the MOA is an XR and its going to blow its gears

DioptricStraw · 04-19-2011, 01:40 PM

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE

Went home at lunch and there was a DHL package for me! Opened it up and guess what it was.

My poison dart!

But i have to work until 8pm tonight

I have everything i need here and have been working on it while i dont have any customers cars to work on. So far the skid is drilled, the chassis is assembled, the lower links are built, and the panels are taking shape.

I will try to get some pictures up later. I have them uploaded to flicker but i cant get the bb code to post them into the post.

DioptricStraw · 04-19-2011, 05:02 PM

KC_JoNeS · 04-19-2011, 07:12 PM

Casey
