Sourdough's SuperSport Truck

[Crawllife]

My black shock body's took a few weeks to get full, smooth travel. Even with the machined pistons. After wrestling with the mess of stock scx stuff, a break in period is a welcomed problem

Got any pics of the fully assembled shocks? Glad you got the shafts and I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on them

I've built a few sets of these shocks now, and I found that the Axial machined pistons vary. Out of 8 machined pistons, I had 2 that were a larger diameter and would stick in the shock bodies. I switched them between all the shock bodies and found that it was the pistons causing the issue. So anybody that is building these, keep that in mind if you run into an issue.

The white looks killer assembled. I'll be bugging Will soon!

Here is a little update for you guys...

The new shocks have really helped this sporty come to life. The combination of lighter springs and thinner shock oil help keep the truck planted and predictable.

The only other change I have made is some new wheels and tires. Voodoo tires of course, RcBros hooked it up with the 3 piece wheels!








Here is the new weight 3lbs 8.8oz (minus battery ~2oz)

We just had a comp last Saturday and weather turned out GREAT! Especially for Oregon, sunny and 65*.

The rocks were still very slippery and the courses proved to be more challenging than we thought. Since my XR10 is still down with electronics issues, I ran my sportsman truck against the MOA guys again for the second comp in a row. Ended up getting 1st in both Pro and Sporty

Got my new inside skinz from Freqeskinz put on a shiny new body! It was quite a bit of work, but I am REALLY happy with how it turned out!!!









Also got some white spring retainers to match the shock bodies. Sorry I didn't clean it before the photos!

I borrowed Sourdojacks newly updated rig for our Local auto show booth. It was well enjoyed by alot of people.

Had another great comp on Saturday. I didn't set enough time aside to wire up my XR-10 yet, so I ran my sporty in the pro class and was able to take the win again!

Here is a clip of my truck driving a bonus gate (afterwards)

Epic climb and epic song.

Congrats on the wins

So what your're saying is they need to set more gates with stuff you absolutely need dig for..... hahaha

You sure can drive the crap outta that thing

Thanks guys! I usually get criticized for my courses being too hard haha. But yeah, there would have had to been a lot of gates with "dig required" I was able to get 53 points on the guy in 2nd place

[RcBro]

He did cheat. I watched him do it.

[Rock Logic]

Looking good. I hear it works to good

[RcBro]

Tom found a nice vertical climb for the sporty to make look easy again. Doing work!

[Curcal]

Man you get that thing to creep just perfectly looks just like you have dig.

Tech inspection!

Like I told the other guys... Wheel base is spot on at 13.5! Hahaha

On a technical note, been running my 16turn Holmes motor on stock 14/87 gearing on 3S CBP lipos for 2 years straight with no issues. Haven't even touched the brushes/comm!

Looks like the Santiam fish ladder near Waterloo???
