You are a dull crayon IN the box. Whereas Erik is a dull crayon OUTISDE OF THE BOX. PS. Erik, you will want to shave down those upswept nipples on the end of the shock arms. Last edited by TSK; 10-07-2013 at 11:52 PM. | |

He put a ring on it to get in the box but the irony is that he will be outside the box much more often. Travis will need to get used to a life outside the box from now on. Now if he were to go to prison, I bet he would spend most of his time in the "hole". | ||||

I believe he already has plans for the shock arms. Plus your one of the only ones to ever have a problem with them to my knowledge. |

One could say "my tranny is hung". I was going to hang it way differently but the holes in the Chaotic chassis just happened to be where I wanted them so, it was just too convenient not to use. It worked out a lot narrower than I anticipated. At the skid I am 1.7" wide, thats narrower than my Berg I am not sure how much I like that yet. If any of you out there are religious, please pray for my driveshaft angles |

Oh, and before I go any further. I am not the only dull crayon outside the box. There have been other dull crayons giving me ideas that all contribute to this build thread and a lot of things I do so, much thanks to all of you!

Trans ratio is a different animal but similar. I wanted it just a touch deeper for personal reasons. Final ratio including pinion should come out between 13:1-21:1 depending on pinion size used. I am not 100% sure what the smallest or largest pinion will be as it looks like I will have to re make that motor plate to adjust the motor slightly different than originally planned. |

| Re: Dlux Sportsman build I was somewhat concerned about the strength of the outputs until I realized they are the same approx size as the aluminum tubes I used to make for the front Berg axle tubes Quote:
I never spent much time in this section either until lately. I think I am liking it. I have realized that a huge (or most) of this hobby to me is the builds and custom parts that people make. This is why I enjoy the Berg and super class. This section seems to have a lot of custom and not just a bunch of people buying parts and bolting them on. Thanks Rick! Quote:
For all the rest that dont know, I ended up with a 8.5lb baby boy last night | ||
