5Th Dimension Sucker Punch "The Green Machine"

[tapped-out]

My lower links are not VP. If you read cboggs sucker punch thread he posted link lengths. Take that info & have D-lux make you some links well worth money..

[tapped-out]

A few pictures from world's rig handled great. Curses were tuff to say the least add 114 to 118° on top of that. Congrats to the top finishers you guys definitely earned it .

[cboggs]

You didn't do bad yourself considering the conditions, still glad you decided to stay with the team.

I bought a D-lux rear upper link mount, below are pics after I installed it. Next I'll pick up some 1/8" upper titanium links from 5th Dimension.
when I started collecting parts/dug through the box of leftover links I was shooting for a setup something close to 60/40 (not sure if I achieved it).
My final link lengths are.
Front upper 115mm
Front lower 111mm
Rear upper 141mm
rear lower 125mm

If you can't tell I like builds with pictures. I know when I'm looking for something in a build thread it's the posted pics that help me... I think it's because I rode on the little bus..

i like the idea of cutting upper ear on ar60,does it work well seem to be like on scx10 axle.so i really like the green chassis you have ,green is the color i like so your build is something i would wish,here on my axle i have green vp knuckle and strc c-hub and rear lockout in green too,and my revo rod ends too,my next build will have them on

[tapped-out]

Yes it works fine, the upper mounting hole was hitting my shock that's why I cut it.

[pyranahryder]

ok ,this is what i was thinking,because i am building a scale and mock up my ar60 on this was the problem.did you do only on rear or front is done too????

[tapped-out]

I only cut rear shock mount. I have modified the front scx10 shocks making them shorter. I used shorter shock shaft & cut shock bodies. This allowed me to use original shock location @ ar60 axle.

[pyranahryder]

do you have a closer pics of your front???

[Krawler Kev]

Truck looks great Mr. Out.

[tapped-out]

Thank you, looking forward to seeing both your builds.

[Solitaire]

Yeah, that made me laugh when I was watching the World's scores...

Out, Tapped - 23

[pyranahryder]

thanks for the pics and the quicks respond.

[pyranahryder]

after a closer look on your pics and back thread what are those knuckle???

[tapped-out]

The knuckles are VP Scale knuckles. I only used the scale knuckles because the u4rc wraith I used as a donor rig had them. Not the best set up for a comp rig. using different knuckles I could get more steering & use knuckle weights.

[pyranahryder]

ok ok i was not sure they were scale one ,so your rigs and is greenish make me jealous a little bit so i will always take an eyes on your build thread and if you do some nice video of the what it could do put them here and for sure i will check them.another build that make me want one !!!!!
