Not yet, I am also waiting for some 10mm shims to tighten up my gear mesh so I cant put it all together yet. I did a test fit though and all is well

If this shit breaks, I'm finding a new hobby

[frdtrkguy]

Got my new shafts today and they fit perfectly, no trimming or other mods needed

Looks good.


Now put the shocks on.

Done JIA, your such a negative nancy

Its not what I really wanted to do but it works and everything is nice and smooth. I just use long screws that go through to the back of the arms. I thought the arms may flex too much but its not even an issue. I wanted to use some internal spring shocks but the only ones available look cheesy and the crawler spring rates would be way too soft.

That's the only thing I could think of to be able to run the PowerStrokes with those in place. Did you space the top shock mount at all?

I didn't, the pro-line bushing had just enough misalignment so that it doesn't bind.

Now I need to start tearing the rear apart.

Well send me the front end so I can build a custom chassis off the Terra front end. I need to buy one of these kits - so many ideas........

[frdtrkguy]

Done!! Ready for testing!!

Couple more

Little Update:


Well, I put some time on the mod and overall I'm happy with it. I had it bound up every which way in the rocks and no breakage, Thank god. After 3 2200 packs I did notice that the diff side drive hub on the left rear was a little loose. The set screws backed out some which pisses me off because I cleaned everything with brake cleaner, applied red lock tight and tightened the shit out of em with a high quality driver.... Then let it cure overnight.. So I ordered knurled point set screws from Mcmaster Carr: McMaster-Carr

If that doesnt work Ill drill the outputs for traxxas screw pins..

Awesome build. Now lets see if we can get that thing "G6 Certified"!

I wanna see all the IFS rigs run a G6 at once.. It'll be sweet!!


And just another update.. For any one wanting to do the MIP mod.. The knurled tip set screws solved the out drive loosening issue.. I had to buy a box of 50 so if anyone wants 8 for their build pm me

[scottanthony]

I like the idea but Im gonna have to see some G6 action to believe it. Think it will be ready by the 10th ? Ru gonna run it?
