To Remedy that issue, I modify them a little.. Which starts with..


I start with the machined pistons, for smoother and tighter tolerances on the shock shaft.


Then to the lower cap, at the shaft. It comes with 2x o-rings and a black plastic washer..
I remove the plastic washer and add a 3rd o-ring. Then I give it a shot of, AE green slime..


After the lower call is tightened on, is time to fill with oil and enjoy!

They will be a little tight feeling at first and even feel like they stick.
Move your shaft in and out a couple times, to lube it up, before hitting the rocks and it will be smooth as butta, for crawlering...

The shock collar is from a non member/vendor..

But I'm working on something. If I can figure out how to stop ruining every other one.. Lol..
I need to change my method up a little..

Finally some tech

[winnerone23]

Thanks for the bump of motivation PURP!

Prepping for axles.. Universal mod for smooth operation at even the most usable steering angles.

First thing.. Clamp the bottom ear in the vise so the two side ears rest on top. Your going to be driving the skinny pin out.
Then grab your choice of punch..


Once the skinny pin is out, the rest just comes apart.


You can see where the inside of the ears touch.


With a little dremel work to the inside, it doesn't take much.. (I just like the look of the way I do et.)
You then move to the outside of the ears.
Just knock the edges down, it will be plenty..
You put it all back together..


(No, I've never had one break with the amount I take out) with the exception of 1, that came out of the bad run, from axial))

When putting the little pin back in. Make sure it's centered and getting full bite, on both sides..

Now the worry of binding and breaking a uni, due to "too much" steering angle, is gone..

This isn't Max, but plenty to work with..



Camera really doesn't pick up the angle all that well..

If your not comfortable doing this yourself: Dlux sells them premod'd, for a great price!

Now its just the bind and snap

I still think you take wayyyyyy to much off lol.

Updates on the TN comp...

Scores are in!

[blandon]

Robbob will have to send you his medal that says Winner now!!! Quite a point spread, guess you like the chassis.

[Bgreene2]

You counted your own scores on two courses... You must have messed them up! Lol!

Lol.. I only counted up my score on one course. And it wasn't the course that was mis calculated..
Tho I don't know how ya mess up a perfect course... :/ sabotage!!!!! Lmao!!!

[winnerone23]

On to the axles... And parts...

HH Crawlmaster spools.. 10g a piece! OD an UD gears..

And axle parts..


I have always ran delrin tubes and finally twisted one out of the front housing.

In all fairness, the tire caught the tie rod nut, under throttle during a roll over attempt, pushed up against a rock.
Add the fact that I only run set screw's to hold them in, its not all that bad. It saved the doodoo sidewall on my do-over's! (And it was while messing around After I finished a course at ECC)..

Anywho.. I had a chance to pick up some uber tubes from my boy Josh.
I really like the clean look of the rear tube, that deletes the lockout.
But it's aluminum and 10g heavier, per side!
So I got the drill out!


I got them down to 4g heavier..

Rear going together..


I added some longer link ends to the rear shocks..


For the final touch, the BmachineRC rear mount..


Rear done..

Front axle..

I left the tubes alone.. No problem with a few extra grams..



One bolted together, I added a CustomFiber desTroy plate..

Which had my screen name milled into it. (Which can be done for anybody, at request)


Front done..

[blandon]

So you mean to tell me ( at special request of course ) I could have a destroy plate with your name on it!!!!! AWESOOOOME!!

[winnerone23]

Lmfao?!!

With your name (not "your name") or screen name or......

[snapon boy]

I would have paid a bit for my name on there. Oh well next time. I liked the technical information.

[winnerone23]

Thanks Fish..

I kind of missed some front axle stuff, pertaining to the desTroy plate..
They come with a thick and thin spacer.. The thick spacer is for a bolt on application..
The thin one takes some dremel work...
It's 2mm, if you really want it.. ;)



Just on the back half housing case, it needs taken down from your XR tube to the pumpkin, on the level..
I haven't tried other servos. Just a 7950 and a Protek 170-t.. Both fit the same..
I'll check a HH servo, when I switch my son's over.

Tolerance's are tight.. And I also use the offset link ends on my front shocks, to make sure the spring is cleared..

[snapon boy]

I installed my Holmes Hobbies Servo and it fits perfectly I grinded a bit. I put one spacer under the Servo and one under the plate.

Thick or thin spacer, under the HH servo?

Thanks for the info mang!

[snapon boy]

Thin. Do I need the one under the plate for reinforcement?

No sir.. You'll be good without it. IMO..

My first design didn't even have the CF wrap around the servo. It only came out to the support screw, in front of the servo..
So the tire side of the servo, only had the 2 screw's that went in the spacer.. Ran that for a year, till I took it off for me new one.
