A pic from when I got it...

[OKJeepin]

Took it out today and had a blast!
I had a few screws loose (who doesn't around here), but I got that taken care of and had just had an awesome time being amazed at what this thing can do.
One thing I hate is that the front is a 1/16" of an inch narrower than the rear..may have to fix that with some new wheels and hubs in the future!

shoulda took the pic with my inclometer. that pic doesn't do justice to a 55.7 degree dropoff!

Looks real good, I like the chassis and link setup real well, Looks like a very capable rig.

Thanks man, pretty proud of it!


Had a little carnage today, just ordered a new case.

[xjcritter]

AHHH a dab of super glue should fix that right up

Rig looks good man, love the body

I would be getting ahold of airtrionics, I bet they replace that.

nice ride, looks familiar. i have had two of those airtronics servo cases fail, time for a hitec. by the way i think i have a spare top from the last one that died.

I am going to try and fix this one I guess, and if it fails again...I am going with a Hitech for sure.

[hoghead5150]

aaaahhhh, i bet it'll buff out!

I'm really thinking about ditching the Warthog frame my truck came with and doing a chassis like this... Seems like it's a lot lighter and would have a much lower CoG.

The rig looks familiar. Did you build it from the kit or did you get it from a guy in TN?

Good looking rig

It started its life in Tennessee, went to Oregon, now it resides in Oklahoma!
Greencrawler here on the forum built it I believe.

I finally got my Links set up, took some doing and a lot of playing around but I am good to go now! Ended up front uppers mounted in the bottom hole, and the rears in the middle, and it is working great right now!


Got my new servo front in the other day, and put this CI servo guard I had on...hopefully it will hold it together now!
By the way, I super glued the one that broke back together, and it held together until this one came in, crazy, never thought it would work!



Also added some Axial lockouts.



Got the front tires done for now. Put in some custom foams, and cleaned off all the inside lugs on the Rovers.



Also added a little protection for my motor, don't know if I REALLY needed it but...

[xjcritter]

HAAAAA I was only joking when I suggested super gluing it back on...Who would of thought it would of really worked. Thats funny right there I tell you what

[greencrawler]

Looks great man hope you have as much fun with it as I did.
Glad you finally got the links fixed.. If you have any questions on how or why I did something feel free to ask

Thanks, I have had it apart so many times, I know it like the back of my hand now!

Don't ever underestimate super glue and redneck engineering!!

[hoghead5150]

i will testify that the super glue held. he glued it and about 2 hours later we had it out in the rock garden. took some good hits, and he got it in a few binds that when he turned it would flip the truck back and forth. i was amazed!!

[OKJeepin]

I might need to locktight them three screws next time...



Good as new!



Did a lot of tuning today, moving the front shocks, and front links around. I believe I got 'er tuned to my driving style!
