On Sunday, we did a little playing around.... and I broke off a shock tower.
Fixed with zip ties so I could still play around though.

Making some updates to the H2.



Got weeds?

Dang, I am bad about maintenance.


So job#1 is to fix a few things.
Issues I am aware of are 1 loose driveshaft and broken shock tower.


I mention the driveshaft because I don't even remember that coming loose?

Eric?


Easy enough to fix and added loctite.
Should keep it in place.


The shock tower ...yes I did an on trail repair with zip ties. Sue me.


To replace the broken part I had modified, I made up some shorter towers so that I would not have to modify more stock plastic parts.
These could have been a bit taller for this particular application but for mass production I think these will benefit more people. We will see.
Anyway here are the replacement parts.


Before I get to the shock tower install ... I have also decided to swap on some new wheels and tires.
Anyone want some custom 2.2s?
Only 8 in existence.

Wheels?
Something that we will be releasing when I get a chance to upload some pictures.


Adversary 8L with a gold finish, Black Agile rings with MCZ hardware. Going to do inner and outer rings because I have some left overs from an earlier project.


Step one, buy a box....
No wait, that's something else.

I started by inserting hardware into the rings.
I find that this way if my tool slips I don't scratch a wheel.



Next up I wrapped the front wheels with some of our segmented black weights.


Then I drilled breather holes. Yes, I still do this.


For the hardware on the inner rings, I decided to cut down some of our M2x7 screws because it's cheaper that way, I like using the dremel and I like to show you guys options. The alternative would be to just purchase some of our M2x1 screws.

To cut the screws is pretty fast using a dremel. I tape some cardboard in my vice to protect the rings ... you could also just hold them but they do get hot and you have a greater risk of nicking a finger.




That back side should be fairly flush but if not, it's easy to clean up with sand paper (or more dremel).




And now for assembly...

Wheels assembled in and out.

Had to grab some of our narrow wheel hexes since I was removing the AO8 setup. I loved the look of the AO8s but we do not have them in the gold finish yet and I really, really love the gold finish!




This is when I noticed a rod end out back needs some love.


And WTF is going on here ... and where did the lock nut go?!

If you are serious, let me clean them up and see how they look.



Otherwise they will end up on my Wraith.

The benchtop poser shots were delayed while I tracked down an ESC problem.

Seems my FXR decided to go haywire.
Replacing it was easy enough, though I lost my waterproofing and had to reprogram it, which is a PITA!

For my own future reference ...
Throttle profile #1 is what I like.


Anyway...
I think they look good.


Body just resting on top but gives you the idea...

Looks sweet on there!

As for the wheels don't really need another set unless its a stupid good deal. I do need to grab some of your black inner rings though.

I love the 1.9's. The new gold is AWESOME! I just picked up a set of your wheels. My first big purchase other than the rig itself. You guys are in the business of high detailed scale rc for certain! I need some of those hubs

More electrical gremlins today.

BEC went out and with no replacement on hand I was very limited at todays outing. I may use this as an excuse to redo all the electrical.



One more poser shot before it goes under the knife.
