Always been keen on a indie-front truck. I'll be watching this one for sure

I see you're planning on an AX10 tranny in this and that you list it in your bomb proof wraith build and I was wondering what the advantage is over the wraith tranny. I'll be doing the same kind of build plus my wraith is ready for a tranny upgrade....from super shafty of course.

I list it here because I already have it built and just plan to swap it in here. I have it listed in the bomb proof thread because Super Shafty didn't have the new Wraith style output made until just a few weeks ago.

Also, I want to use a VP case and they don't have a Wraith option. You can go with a Hot Racing Wraith case and use the new 6mm Wraith outputs and be just as well off.

These Team Durango shocks are awesome. I love the construction. Can't wait to try them out.




Working on the next video now. Tried to make progress tonight but kept running into little issues.

What do the TD shocks use for a seal?

On the bottom? Two molded stepped bushings, two o-rings, and a plastic spacer.

Hey Harley,

I too purchased the conversion plus the titanium steering link in hopes that would correct the steering angle. Well, the outer wheel is shallow compared to the inside wheel when turned. Are you having this issues also? It seems as if there is not enough steering throw due to the steering rack placement.

Josh, just watched your latest video. Your steering issues aren't simply going to be solved by adjusting the carrier or knuckles. The steering rack needs to be moved forward at least 15-20mm (from what I can see).

Try to mimic the stock EXO steering rack location first, then follow up with some clearance adjustments at the carrier and knuckle

I'm pretty sure that is going to be the only way to make it right as well. Clearances up there are going to get pretty tight. I'll take a closer look at that.

Here is the video Brandon is talking about.

Is there something different you are using with this kit or do they all have this steering issue

Do you have a picture of the steering/suspension from the top?

Harley, I noticed you are using SLW wheels on the front. I too went this route and I had to clearance my stock exo knuckles. I am using .300 hubs on the front.

What hubs are you using and did you have any clearance issues?

Thanks

I won't be using the SLW's, those are just something I had around. I will be using the new Orange Method's from VP.

I first thought this was your Wroncho build. Then I remember you were trying to sell it so I looked in to see why you posted again. I didn't know you were building a Wroncho.
