The "What The Hell" #2
 

With only 1 time behind the wheel of my first sporty build, i took it to the AZ shoot out, and placed very well with it......

the reason i sold it off was to pay for a speeding ticket that i got going to AZ...:oops::oops:
i now realize that i should'nt have sold it.....

but now i get to build another...

So on to #2 build.......
there will only be a few differences, because the thing worked soooo well.....

Collecting A few parts......

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

Rear link mount is nifty."thumbsup"

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

Thank you....

rear upper link mount is a challenge with narrowed AR60's
center has to move over about 3/4 "in......:ror:;-)

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

How wide are the axles now? Did you have to make new shafts for them?

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

They are about like XR's........
I took about 3/4' in. out of them.....
and yes i will have to cut and retang the long sides.........;-)

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

nice, how did you narrow them? Did you just epoxy them together? How hard was it to do?

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

You have to sleeve them with Heavy wall alum, tubing, and epoxy them....:ror:

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

its a shame the other one had to go, at least you have the means to do it again! Building is the fun part anyway.

do you think you will do an exact copy or change some things up?

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

There will be some small changes.......;-)

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

You're not using the SMW angled shock/link mounts?!?!





For shame Sloski, for shame!

Re: The "What The Hell" #2
 

LOL......
What..? those Over Priced pieces of art.........:shock::roll::roll:


but i only need a shock/ link mount with one hole , the one lower hole..

besides, when you narrow the axles, you really dont need the angle on the mounts...........

Chassis cross braces drilled and tapped for body mounts.....

The Yeah Racing Cross braces/ links are about 3 dollars cheaper per set than the axial ones......."thumbsup"
