sounds good. post pictures of the carbon/green paint job that sounds like it is a cool combination |
wow, I want one:!: can't wait to see it all together.. It's so much fun when you finally get your parts rounded up and get to start putting it all together |
Thats a big pile of goodies! Looking forward to that paint job as well! "thumbsup" |
drooling..... |
Talk to the painter said piece of cake paint job. So I need to get some replacement panels and send them his way. |
Well I was holding off putting my axles together. But the last of my axle upgrades didn't show up today. I ordered them from RCP on the 10th and shipped they were shipped on the 12th. Now they are sitting in Anchorage, AK. I guess Alaska is between California and Washington. So here is the axles together with what parts I do have. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC00999.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01000.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01001.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01003.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01002.jpg |

Question for you guys should I do the stock green links or do delrin links? |
IMO, delrin would look more sinister:twisted: |

I would use aluminum or SS, not Delrin on the links. Way to much flex for this application. If you use aluminum you can have them anodizes GREEN. The Gooch8) |
ive never liked delrin for links it gets scratched up and doesnt slide as well over the rocks.. i use stainless steel personally, i like the weight and the fact that its considerably more durable than aluminum or delrin. |
I like it!!! The carbon body panels will look good one the green tubes"thumbsup" |
what are you useing for the carbon fiber. If you could, please let me know. Maybe even some pigs. The Gooch8) |

love that powder coating |
these work great for links... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/general-crawlers/96811-building-ultimate-links.html they dont bend at all and they are light weight. |

I also got my rims in tonight from the auction for zach that I won. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01015.jpg |
Well give me 5 days off and gloomy rainy day and 8 foot piece of delrin. I started to make the links for it. I wanted to try use titanium for the links but the spot I saw it at last is gone. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01020.jpg |
Lookin good!! It's going to be alot of green. I think the carbon panels might break it up just enough though. |
Titanium is on order. I'm going to sleeve all-thread with the titanium for all the links. I got 36" of it coming. |

That's what she said"thumbsup". I wanted to complement you on the build. Looks nice. Had to throw that in there since its been going around lately. |
Well since it is 36" that is what she says. |
Well my link tube just came in today. 3AL-2.5V titanium http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01082.jpg This with 8/32 threaded rod through it. Kinda crappy pic but it fills the tube. So I can use Revo ball ends instead of tmaxx. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01083.jpg |
sweet, i wanna see how this works out. |
Oh you know you will. If it goes great all my rigs are getting the same treatment. |

Was it from FleaBay? |
Yes from EBAY |
Here is one link that I made. Takes alot longer to cut the tube with a tubing cutter than brake line. I also need to go get more rod ends today. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01084.jpg |
What size is that tubing... O.D. and I.D. if you have it. I assume the O.D. is 1/4 inch? |
It is 1/4" X .028 X 18"ALLOY 3AL-2.5V. 8/32 threaded rod fits in it nice then I'm using revo ballends. |

Well I did it finished making all the links out of the titanium that I bought. I ordered 36 inches but they sent me 48" I have almost 22" left. :lol: So I think all of my other rigs will be getting the titanium treatment also. Well here is some pics of all the links done. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01094.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01093.jpg Flex shot with my Wheely King Droop tuber. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01090.jpg |
That came out real nice. It's one of the best looking Hustlers I've seen. I wonder who got the blue one Double J powder coated? He did this one as well right? |
