Pulled apart the axles for the first time today. Only damage I found was some sharpened ring gear teeth and I sure that is from todays hole shots out of the driveway.

Got my new goodies in from Vanquish yesterday.

SSZ-9 2.2's
C-Hubs

The dinky mount pretty much levels your lower links, I flipped my axle mounts since this picture was taken so its even lower now. The dinky mount really hurts the gc but I didnt build this for crawling. Its just a fun rig to drive, and it can do some crawling but isn't the best.

The pins in the rc4wd axles are not holding up well to 6s but at 40 bucks I dont think you can go wrong.

That is nearly rediculous.

That is just insane fast.
I think your neighbors dog was interested in what you were up to.
When you were doing donuts and went to the lid I immediately thought of break dancing for some reason.

Hey guys, this is a custom made chassis on a scx10 based frame. I am using wraith axles only. Thanks.

klabeaume · 10-10-2011, 07:52 PM

Well, after pulling the rear proline power stroke shocks apart at crawlapooza, I decided its time to drop some weight and power. Yes I know, I said drop power

I am ditching the heavy trans mount, the summit trans, the 1/8th scale brushless and 6s. Its just destroying the truck every time I drive it. I am not mature enough not to use the power either.

So the plan is:

Built ax10 trans
Tekin Sc4 motor
Mamba Max pro

Should still be fast and fun but should shave about 2lbs off the rig while adding 1" of ground clearance.

dubAron · 10-10-2011, 08:32 PM

Great running rig looks mean

muddywaters · 10-10-2011, 08:36 PM

That look's sweet...

crawlski · 10-10-2011, 09:18 PM

That is a killer rig. I am liking the battery set-up, very nice.

buy a tekin pro4 3300 and you don't go wrong..
i have it with MMP, 13/56 gearing 32pitch and it is awesome

do you up grade your tranny or is it stock with plastic gear?
which parts do you broke with T8?
i 'm curious to try a tekin T8 with my MMP, 1550kv coild be a good choice, i saw you were able to crawl and also to go very fast at the same time.
with MMP you can tune every parameter

low end is awesome i saw also with 6 cells lipo!
if you have other video can you post it?
thanks and congrats for your truck
