Like everyone I love the white man. I cant wait to see it in action!!

Thanks man it looks diff from a week or so ago when you saw it. I also love the white and with my girly pink gliter panels it looks so sexy lol. I can wait to see it in action either its been so wet / raining here i havent even been able to take it out back to the rock pile to try it just tooling around in the house tossing set pins in the driveshafts and with carpet i can almost flip the damn thing when i pucnh it in reverse which is bad so i have to figure out how to fix that because it shouldnt jump like that.

Well got to tune a lil today after work and well it went well and bad all in the same. Got the shocks tuned in alot and got the glitching out of the esc but i broke a dog bone and broke my motor side panel agian. So tomorrow its off to the LHS to get cvd's and some more lexon and possible a bec and new servo.

Try a 2ltr bottle for panels...sounds dumb but it works awesome. Dont know how well itd hold with paint but thats what stickers are for

[2006Shelby]

Ok i have a silly question possibly but i have tried to adjust the glichy foward and backward slow crawl speed with the castle link and its still there and its almost like the motor is always trying to pull itself , im still not using a bec yet due to funds till friday if thats is all its missing to make it not glitchy thats will be picked up friday or saturday but its hard to crawl slowly due to the glitchy movements. Let me know if you all think that is what is causing it. thanks

Thought i would post up some more pics with my buddies rig in the pics also .His rig is the one with the tubed chassis.

Looking good I dig the color. You could also try mounting the panels on the outside of the topper. Could give you a little more room around the motor. As far as the glitching goes, I cant help you there to much. Im still a NOOB in that aspect of this hobby.

If you take any more pictures of them trucks that close they may need to get a room .. just jokin man ..lookin good

[2006Shelby]

lol i should have posted the vid of me driving mine on top of his then.

Need to bring it out to the lake sometime.

[2006Shelby]

If my kids are gone alday tomorrow i may head to austin bottom and try it out still working the glitches out of it. If not im gonna be modding out a wheelie king into a crawler for my daughters cousin, should be fun trying to take a monster truck down to a crawler but he is stoked about making a crawler and goofing off with all of us. Gonna try to use a tube chassis he found somewhere not ideal but it will work for a kid with no real money.

[2006Shelby]

Ok actually got out for some more testing today with the rig and the only thing i can tell is it seems a lil lose in the rear the 30* i have in the rear are a mid bend was wondering if i should go with the reg 30* bend rears it just seems really really lose in the rear maybe thats the way it should be but it just seems to move side to side fairly easy. I even took the links off to make sure they where the same as dickyt's rears only diff is they are mid bends. Any suggestions would be great about this.

[hoghead5150]

the only thing i can think of is you need more triagulation on the rear links. i see that you were running the upper links on the inside of the D link and now they look like they are mounted outside of the D link. maybe this change has lessened the links ability to hold the rear axle straight. i know the bottom links are angled in at the skid, but it may not be enough.

[2006Shelby]

WAs wondering if anyone knows if any company or person makes a long shaft for the back side of the tranny so my drive shafts would have a lil more shaft in the tube i know a dig would make it about the perfect legnth but i dont wanna put a dig on a rig and never use the dig just use it to make my mips rear fit better.

I know you'll all laugh til you wet your pants at this, but INTEGY shafts were the go for my FB..........let me qualify the INTEGY thing.....the ends can be taken off, find some Ti rod, cut to custom length, grind a flat for the grub screws, Bob's your cross-dressing Aunty......dunno if I did pics for it in my build or not.

boy u got them things looking good

[2006Shelby]

Thanks man shame that silly venom keeps braking its cvds tho glad i have a ax10 lol

[2006Shelby]

Well went to my first comp this weekend shaftys only and out of 17 i placed 7th over all. I have to say the truck is amazing if i knew how to drive better and had my servo in i think i could have done a whole lot better but my lack of drive time and practice hurt me pretty bad. I love the Chassis big props agian to the UGC This thing side hills and flips itself back over amazingly and the control and balance it has is just nasty good. So with more practice i hope to see myself do better next comp i plan on putting in some hours practicing my driving skills so i can represent this machine the way it was designed to be drove. On a Side note i was told i should have got point for the biggest air and style for the flips i pulled off lol.

[2006Shelby]
