Well I finally finished the stage 2 conversion all but the 70mm links. Also I finally mounted my bug body. What do you think. I am working on battery mounts for the front axle so I can get the battery out of the window.

Looks awsome quads I'm digging the artic. And your bug body looks great also

Thanks it is HPI E-Savage baja TT

I will take some better pics today in the sunlight. I took these around 3am dark and really tired.

One other thing before I did the stage 2 kit I could give it full throttle and the torque twist would flip it over on its side. Now their is absolutly NO torque twist. And that is with the battery mounted up high.

kid rock · 11-20-2007, 03:10 PM

isnt that to much artic? and what springs are you running on it ? looks good .

quads4_life · 11-20-2007, 03:46 PM

Na just the right amount. They are wheely king springs.

wow that sounds impressive! I would like to see a vid of it flipping on its side due to torque twist

quads4_life · 11-20-2007, 06:41 PM

I should have shot one I do have a couple of video's of before the stage 2 I will see if I have one on its side.

quads4_life · 11-20-2007, 07:57 PM

Here is a little video of the torque twist it did it worse when I ran it droop but this is still kinda funny and you get the idea

binaryterror · 11-21-2007, 11:31 AM

I wouldn't call that nearly flipping on its side at all. Thats about right at full bore throttle.

Throttle control is also a way to seemingly lessen the impact of the torqe twist.

quads4_life · 11-21-2007, 03:32 PM

No in that video it was good compaired to when I took all the shocks off and had it at full droop with the spacer still on the outside of the shock. I did not have a video of it with droop.

Gizmo · 11-21-2007, 08:39 PM

Haha that's a pretty good amount of torque twist! Mine never twists like that but it looks like you have a lower turn motor in yours so it makes sense.

TIMZKRAWLER · 11-21-2007, 09:23 PM

where did you get your axial bent links???ive been waiting for ckrc to send my backordered on from the stage 2 kit ...but nothing yet

quads4_life · 11-21-2007, 09:43 PM

Well my LHS got about 10 sets in, sometime last week. I have a good LHS and some great people that work there. They keep alot of stuff instock and also if I need something, they can usally get it in 3 days. They have even brought stuff to the track for me.

quads4_life · 11-21-2007, 09:52 PM

Here is a couple more pics. Still dont have my axle mounted batteries but I did build my 4 link servo tray and boomarang. For now I just mounted my battery on top of my servo. Not pretty but works.

quads4_life · 11-21-2007, 09:53 PM

Here is my version of TCS's boomarang and servo plate.
