| Re: The "Just shut up and build it" thread...
I just started building my JEC trailing arms and links and unfortunately the Vanquish RPM rod ends don't for tbr frenched holes... I need to order traxxas Revo rod ends. Anyone known if these fit the axial skid without slop? Or maybe I can swap to axial brass balls from the RPM rods? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Good info about RPM ends not fitting. I was planning on replacing with them. Last edited by elRayRay; 12-15-2018 at 01:00 PM. | |

Because both ends of the trailing arms go into axial width supports (skid and link mount). I will use Revo rod ends on the non-frenched links and the traxxas on everything else. I had to sand down my Gmade XD shock ball ends for the stock axial trailing arms, I might have to look at other options if the JEC arms are narrower... Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk | |

I'm running Gmade XD shocks and the red alloy shock ball-ends fit just fine in the JEC arms, and I used Hot Racing alloy link mounts on my axles. I installed washers to take up slop at the Traxxas balls at the skid, and wherever else things were loose.... Last edited by durok; 12-15-2018 at 08:13 PM. |

Can you remove the traxxas ball and put in a VP RPM brass ball since it's axial width? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

You can also use trx4 balls these are same width as Axial!

| Re: The "Just shut up and build it" thread... Yeah...I have a bunch of Traxxas balls that will only be used on my rear shock ends or front steering links. Basically anywhere not Axial-spec double shear. I just pop in the Samix stainless balls when installing on any of my link ends.

Yeah, stock length for these... I have been wanting some Carter Fab steel trailing arms, but he's been out of stock for what seems like 2 years! I'll take stock length, if you hear back... |

Was out last weekend at the San Marcos Texas river bed. Ran a full 4300mAh 3S pack though my Revolver-powered beast: |

Yep, 1800kv v1 Revolver - since it currently has a Holmes SHV500 v1 direct-power servo I am just running 3S, but in the past I ran 4S as well with a ProModeler PM470 servo. I have a v2 SHV500 servo that will likely go in this soon - then I will be able to return to running 4S packs when I feel the urge, although 3S is surprisingly powerful. |
