Fester's SuDu After promising myself I would do a build thread for my CC-01 & Wraith and failing miserably I thought I best do one for my 2.2 Crawler build. The plan is to build a capable crawler without breaking the bank :lmao: Initially I want to keep it simple using as much from my donor SCX as I can, start out with a good base and build from there. Here is a quick teaser shot of the Nordic Crawler Designs SuDu Chassis http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...ps814199e4.jpg Parts liberated from my SCX http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2febb4ec.jpg Axles have OD,UD and CVD's Please bare with me on this one for a short while as I collect all the parts I need for the build. |
Nice start. Put a little spacer below the tranny. This way the motor won't touch the chassis. send from my HTC One-X |
Re: Fester's SuDu Thanks for the tip"thumbsup" |
Look forward to another Sudu build and best of luck with it Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 |
Re: Fester's SuDu I have not forgotten about this guys, just waiting on parts, sucks to be in England when most of the good stuff is made in the USA, Gunnar body mounts have been ordered along with Vanquish stage 1 kit and a few odd and sods should be a rolling chassis very soon. |
Re: Fester's SuDu I quickly assembled the SuDu so I could mock up the top links while waiting on the VP stage 1 kit, decided to go with the V2 side plates and I'm using Gunnar spacers. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...ps83821dc0.jpg |
Re: Fester's SuDu Upper links fitted might need a little tweaking will wait till have have the VP Stage 1 kit and wheels and tyres. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...ps044d976e.jpg |
Re: Fester's SuDu Micro update fitted the gunnar body post and fitted the front electronics tray http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...psa2f18c71.jpg |
Re: Fester's SuDu Looking good Fester "thumbsup" Are you going to run stock width or are you planning on doing the XR10 mod ? |
Re: Fester's SuDu Thanka "thumbsup", The plan is stock width for now, trying to keep it simple and the cost down as it's my first 2.2 crawler, I will run it this summer maybe enter a few comps and see how I get on with it, no doubt there will be a SuDu 2.0 build at the end of the summer :mrgreen:. I was lucky enough to try out a few rigs last weekend I was surprised how addictive it is compared to scalers I'm really hooked now"thumbsup" |
Re: Fester's SuDu I understand ... BUT ... imo it is the best mod you can do to the AX10 (front) axle ... WAY MORE steering angle "thumbsup" When you get it done you will probably regret not doing it sooner .... ;-) |
Re: Fester's SuDu your probably right however I have the VP stage 1 kit for ax axles on it's way so it will have to wait for now. |
Re: Fester's SuDu Well ... you already announced your second build :mrgreen: ... a nice chance to put the XR10 mod in place "thumbsup" Seems like you have been bit by the crawling-bug .... we all were ;-) |

Re: Fester's SuDu No sell the Wraith ... you can use it as a donor for a sporty build "thumbsup" The XR10 is going to eat your wallet .... I suggest hiding it :mrgreen: |
