Yes Double J did the powder coating. The blue went to kaisersoze16.

Are those T-Maxx big bore shocks:?:. What springs are you using if any on the inside:?:.

The Gooch8)

Nice build. You may want to move the link mounts under the servo plates. Will help level out the top links and give you a little better articulation. Have you mounted a servo yet? I had to tweek up the front of the frame so the servo would not hit the frame when the shocks are at bottom.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing it finished.

Yes they are t-maxx big bore shocks. I'm using the springs that come with the hustler 2.2 kit



I originally had my link mounts like that but they were aiming more down then being level. The way they sit now the are pretty level.

Any chance 10/32 Can fit?

Yes, but it would be tight. If the wall is .028 then the hole diameter would be .190 and the O.D. of a 10-32 screw is approx .188 More pics of Green Hornet please,that thing is sweet.

sweet,Thanks, guess I will be making new links.

8/32 fills the tube up pretty full. Plus I don't know where you would find rod ends 10/32.


I will be bringing it to the comp but it is still in mock up till I get the panels painted.

cant wait to see this completed. This is probaly the sweetest looking hustler ever

can you see if a 10/32 bolt fit in there than.I Had to go to a Screw shop to get my 10/32 all thread.
Thanks

I don't have any thing that is 10/32.

10/24:mrgreen:

Hi,looks awsome the green is killer on that chassis design i was wondering what is your wb? what is the frame measurements? i am looking at building a tuber and not sure how big i should make the chassis and i want a 15-17" wb? thanks for any help

Wheel base is 12.5. I'm sorry but but if you want the measurements of the chassis you can spend $330 dollars and get one of them from here. http://www.rcpcrawlers.com/product.p...&cat=26&page=1

I didn't spend that much for one to give out the measurements so people can make a cheap copy.

Call me a asshole but your gonna find a hard time trying to get some measurements for a chassis that some vendors around here spend alot of time designing and testing .So people will give out the measurements to a chassis that they paid good money for.

I understand your new. I'm all about helping new people but letting them copy exact measurements of chassis that I payed alot for and others have paid for. I'm not going to do.

Well since I sold my comp chassis I need to finish this so I have a comp rig. I moved my r2d2 tranny over and servo.

I need to mount the electronics and do a few odds and end things but it will be a runner at the next comp.

Very nice build Red Rockcrawler. "thumbsup" I might try some of the links you made. I have been using the 6/32 all thread with stainless tubing. I think I will try it your way since the 8/32 fits the revo ends. "thumbsup" Again, Nice job.

Thanks the 8/32 just adds to the beef of the links and give's you bigger rod ends. Plus the titanium will help keep these strait and slide really well.

looks awsome, nice job."thumbsup"

Well I got the last piece that I needed to finish my chassis off and finish the build be for my comp 2 weeks from now.

Thanks to a idea from miniwheeler and a local guy that can work with it and MTHead for the material.

Titanium skid plate.

Wow
 

Looks great! Keep it up. I will be heading your way and I will stop by with Mr. Droopy and let you check out the progress. Thanks for all your help and suggestions on my build. CHEERS!"thumbsup"

I can't wait to see how you run it. At least selling you my old comp chassis forced me to finish this build.

Very sweet Green Hornet build! How are your RCP servo plates and linkage working out? What setup did you settle on?

Well went to play at Dave A. shop. Came home with a skid plate and strong wheel pins, drill bit thanks dave.

Now on to the titanium skid plate. We changed the design since we found out that .025 titanium sheet can't be bent 90 deg or it breaks.

This stuff is really hard to bend.

Well this what we came up with.

I left my links on the top because they are level that way. I'm running mine a little bit more forward than it should be.

Thanks, I decided to run mine on the bottom with my stock Axial chassis....they were more parallel and geometry looked better that way. I'll find out tomorrow.

I'm running a 60/40 set up on mine to get alot of the weight forward.

Well it all ready for the comp tomorrow. I don't have the new painted panels done yet so I just sprayed the outside of the old ones and bolt them on.

The titanium skid plates first rock rash from my little pile of rocks.

That is just beautiful. I am jealous cause I don't have the money for a Hustler right now! Nice job!

Looks nice, let us know how the Ti skid works.

Well from the little bit of testing I did today it worked really well

Looking forward to seeing how well it performs tomorrow at the comp"thumbsup"
Should I bring Britt and let her run my Blackjack without dig.....that should even the playing field:lol:.....wait, that means she'll beat me too, nevermind:twisted:

I really like how it came together8)

Thanks Nathan this was a fun build and I wanted it to stand out. Selling my other tuber just forced me to rush this one done.

The Titanium skid worked real well helped it slide over the rocks easy.

I test the AX-10 hustler against a SW3 here is what happened.

Dude, could those Pic's be any more out of focus:?::?::?::?::?::?:. Whats up with that:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:: twisted::twisted:. What I can see, I relay like. Nice job"thumbsup". The test video is real cool as well, Made that SW3 look bad....

Thanks yeah the up close pics come out blurry. It was fun taking down that sw3 on that line.

Let's be sure and say that was the only line you took me down on:-P:-P:lol::lol:

Yeah there was only one or 2 trouble lines for the low ground clearance. But the sw3 is gone and you have come to the hustler side.

Sweet looking Hustler, the video was great also

That chassis is sweeeet!
