Good for jumping! 8)

Alright, back to cutting tires...

Page 5 and not a build in sight.:roll:

Only an ASSHOLE like you could get away w/ this.:ror:

Stock out, underdrive in.

I use that exact cut on my LCC and it works extremely well for my setup. But then again I really dont think you can truely go wrong with any pin tire cut pattern. I have tried three or four styles and they all seem to work about the same.

Rear is back assembled for now. Waiting on all the VP stuff.

Width came out much wider than I wanted but oh well. Sitting at 11.25" right now. It's wide but I'll give it a shot.

Used some of the Rock Lube when I installed the gears. I do love that squeeze bottle.

Pictures...I think I saw pictures !!!

Front overdrive installed and lubed. Waiting on shafts.

Electronics arrived today. That 157 is over 500 oz/in of torque and SUPER fast. It's a beast.

Going to run a standard trans that loaded up inside. Junfac shafts are on as well.

Beefy Robotronics arm from TCS.

I can't get my greasy paw's on a set. You....* :ror:

EDIT: Did this set have the hole for the screwpin or was it old style ?

Looks like some posts were lost in the crash yesterday.

Anyway, looks like this rig will have to be completed next week. Shipping didn't quite make it in time.

BOOOOO lol... Oh well i"m still here for the long run... Love seeing your builds .

Tell me about it. USPS shows delivered at about 9 this morning but our mail doesn't come until at least 10:30 every day. :evil: So freaking pissed right now.

atleast you get yours at around 10:30!!! mine comes between 4-5pm

Looking good as always Harley....

Keep us informed on progress....

Brutal! Mine always comes at the end of the day too.. kinda nice cause I'm normally home by then and it's like a kid on Christmas to see what part showed up that day lol

Any up dates or are you still waiting on parts?

Parts all arrived today. I will get it ready for the comp this weekend for sure.

this is looking great Harley, how strong are the wraith axles compared to upgraded SCX10 axles?

Depends on what you call upgraded. Unless you are using Super 300's I would say that Wraith Axles with universals is stronger. If you do AX10 with long Beef Tubes and XR10 universals would be about the same and a better width for a sportsman. This truck is wide.

Starting to dig in.

Hmmmm, just not liking this setup :-/

The Wraith axles are just too wide. Link mounts are causing suspension binding that I'm not liking mostly. It would require some much more complex bends.

This project may have to turn into something else....

Don't give up that easy Your Awesomeness.:flipoff:

Drill out some bent XR rod ends to 4mm. Should fix the binding at the axle without needing to go crazy with the links.

Looks good. Can't wait to see it built.

running into the same problem with those axles on alot of attempts with other chassis.

This will likely be converted to AX10 axles with long beef tubes.

I think you need to fix the glass on your tabel looks a little off lololol

I pushed it a little far :lol:

Did you try mounting the lower links inboard of the dual sheer mounts?

Also you could run XR lockouts with cut down stock shafts to narrow the rear axle.

Mounting inside the mounts was tough on the diff side. No room for a nut. Could be done though if you took the mount off first and used a button head.

XR lockouts did go on but yes you need to cut down shafts and there isn't enough meat on the shafts to do that IMO.

i felt like this also. Runn'in into a little more work than i thought. Among other things, i have to make all new links and might have to use calculus.:mrgreen:

Think about it this way, if you just go back to ax10 axles, ehh, it will probably be bad ass, but wraith axles...

Push it thru man!"thumbsup"

Well the mounts are super easy to pull off due to the design. Why not just try that? Unless you ordered a set before, KC said he wasn't going to make any more long beef tubes.

That wasn't really my biggest concern. I could build some crazy curved links like we build for the MOA's but my concern is width mostly. I'm at a little over 11.5" now and without special wheels it's not gonna be where I want it.

I read he isn't making them. I can always just go have some turned though. They are a simple product.

I hear ya, they are better suited for a shafty super really, they are Damn near as wide as my super berg axles!

Thats sad to hear these could of made some nice sporty axles if they werent so wide.

wonderful table. DIY or purchased? Send me a PM its super cool!

Let me know when you dont want that table anymore.:flipoff:

To bad the axles are so wide.
