[mjc597]

you shouldn't need to be a paid member to post attachments..how are you trying to post the pics? i use photobucket and copy and paste the image links..

[jeepster73]

30 posts needed to post pics.

[evan03]

Photobucket is what I use to share photos

[oldcoopdog]

i posted 30 and still no pics.

[evan03]

I've heard mention of certain number of posts making things open up but from experience I found that not the case

Maybe the mods only counted 5 of your 31.


I'd use photobucket. Free and easy place to store all your photos. I even have a photo bucket app making uploads super easy from my phone.o

I disagree. I currently only have 27 posts and have posted many pics.

Currently, the standard foams from the kit, but I cut out around the foam kind of like a star to make it softer.

straight one

[oldcoopdog]

ok here are a few and there are alot more parts on there way as we speak

[oldcoopdog]

my favorite mod so far is probably the easiest, the reflective strip across the gap in the back its reflective strip from when i built semi's

[oldcoopdog]

ok just added ckrc hood hinge, ckrc front mount plate. hh 55 turn torque master expert, 15/60 pinion. now even high range on the 2 speed is low geared. low range has no wheel speed so its perfect i got both gears set right i got a 10t pinion on the way, il try it but i think it will make high range a slow crawler speed then i wont have a high range for wheel speed.
so 55t hh torque master expert, 15/60 pinion, rc4wd 2 speed, ckrc hood hinge, ckrc front mount plate, custom box in back with all electronics, hr steering link, hr cvd's, strc chubs, strc knuckles, hitec 5646, and 645 servos, spectrum dx3s, cc bec, deans plugs, 2 gens ace 2s 3000mah, the rest is custom made.

ok officially named it the recon wraith. with the new 55 turn hh, extreme low gearing, and the new lipos, the speed is super low where i wanted it, but now i need to look at beefing everything else up, the hr steering link has brass inserts that hold the pivot ball in place one of those brass rings popped out of its grove and now is to loose to go back in. other than that, i need to know i have the bec going to the rx if i turn up the bec to 6v or 7v with the rx pass that voltage on to the servo or regulate it down?

[mjc597]

Whatever voltage you set the bec at will go to your servo, just make sure you unhook the red wire off your esc where it goes to the rx..

-sent from my smarter than me phone

[oldcoopdog]

ok good that will gain some torque out of the servo

hr steering link broke first time out so i made my own, got castle link, shocks, and fast eddie bearings on there way.

[wheelhead4x4]

I was going to tell you good luck with that HR steering link. I bet the brass locks fell out. Just get a vp tie rod an be done with it.
