Hustler's Sudu Build

[stankulas]

Afterrunning a Losi for 1 1/2 years I tried builda pro light version however found that it was difficult to achieve the wheelspeed that is needed . So I decided to builder an ax10 based crawler with somelosi inspired thought? watching many ax10 it seemed as if they would release tensionon the rock or holding power if throttle was released and I think this was dueto soft drag brake, slop in drive train, and in transmission, and this would betop priority in building the beast.

here aresome of the stats, and the rest are in the pictures:

Hear is me making and treading links notice that I am bending 2 at a time and that the slab has holes for multiple positions its a $60.00 bender and $380.00 Harbor Freight lathe working on grade 5 titanium I even made hex pins from some small scrap pieces

Sent you a pm about your lathe setup. Any info on the bender?

I,ll get back on the bender but i drilled and tapped extra holes for more precession and i also drilled a hole in the bigger wheels to keep them from turning and moving the links

Now that it is up and running I have started to tune. the first thing I noticed was that the rig turned more to the left. when turned to the right the link would be stretched all the way, as seen in this picture

[stankulas]

So I made another link out of titanium and used a 1/4 inch flute on my drill press and made two flat spots on the rod and drilled a hole and tapped it flipping the link around problem solved

another issue was using plastic drive shafts so I purchased this drive shaft found here
