Thanks. But looks like I wont be able to go this year. Bummed out.

eric113 · 11-15-2014, 04:32 PM

Small update. I beefed up WB8 driveshafts. I used a old aluminum link. I also have Gunnar pins installed

I had a proto type Locked up Rc commando free spooling winch with the upgraded up motor for while . Install was easy and followed the directions I swaped to stainless screw.Addition to to free spool and motor, I used Maddogrc fairlead and hook. I also used Locked up Rc winch saver, Locked up Rc extreme winch line.

Waiting for more parts to come in.

eric113 · 11-24-2014, 05:39 PM

More parts. Since VP been out of stock on currie parts. I contacted Chris @ creation fab made me some delrin tubes. Scored some omf's too.

Benzbuildr · 11-26-2014, 10:47 AM

I worked on it most the day yesterday and got he rear axle done.

During mock up. I when back and counter sunk the screws that hold the lock out on.

Little tip if you are drilling and tapping holes in delrin.Use a smaller drill bit and use the screw to cut the threads, it be tighter than using a tap.

I also installed my JC link raisers, which also to work out since my upper links were little short.

Before I called it a night. I got one omf's mounted. If anyone has tricks for mounting proline tires on the omf's please post up!

Sorry for the crappy pics and messy work bench.

Another very cool build sir, all your builds are clean and unique.

Wouldn't the 2300Kv be a better choice than the 3100Kv being that you're running a 4 cell? You should swap out those link risers for the steel ones.

eric113 · 12-12-2014, 10:57 AM

Small update. Think settled on tires. I also picked up hardware to dress up the wheels abd diffs.

Best foams in the world.

Started on the rear diff.

eric113 · 12-26-2014, 10:34 AM

Added some lockedup rc scale hardware to the portals.

Plan is to run 3 cell mostly and 4 cell for fun. Unless I don't like the 3 cell. Theni will look for a 2300kv.

Why should I swap the risers? Who makes steel risers?

I had custom delrin tubes made. The vanquish was out of stock at the time. I used 3racing lock out for ax10/scx10 that bolted to 3racing portal.
