Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough . . . so this one's gonna be the ultimate. I'm gonna build this bad boy for the U4RC Ultimate racing series at Glen Helen. I got a kit and some goodies in the mail today from RPP: http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...psbb9292e2.jpg Add some other goodies I've amassed and this should be one sweet rock racer. http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5bc451de.jpg The next race is on 10/5, let's see if I can be ready. |
Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough This is gonna be awesome! Cant wait to see it done! |

Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough I'm going for strong yet light. I think the Level3 shock droop kit should help for this kinda race, too. Also, I'll use the stock Ripsaws for starters (hopefully I'll win some Pitbulls at the event!):lmao: It looks like they have some sweet swag they're gonna give away. Here's a short video of a previous race at this track U4RC.com 2.2 heat race #1 from 6/15/13 - YouTube |
Looks like a fun race! |
Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough Just wondering how this one will be difrent |

The course looks rather brutal, good luck on the build. Looking forward to see how she does "thumbsup" and vids of the next event. |

I am going sensored brushless via MMP and Tekin Pro4 3500. I won't have much time to get the bugs out, so I hope I get lucky and set it up right the first time. I'm gonna run a Savox SC-1232sg with a Castle bec, any thoughts on this anybody? It's pretty big, I may have to trim some chassis. We'll see. I'm trying to make this pile of plastic a roller tonight, so I better get back to work. And if anybody has any advice I sure would appreciate it! Thanks Pics before bed . . . |
Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough Pulled an all nighter to get this thing started. My secret weapon is Tombstone. http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...psb50eb82a.jpg I got the axles together and the cage. I put the Level3 RC droop kit on. Man that was a lot of turns to get the screws in. And I used the RC4WD heavy duty bumper braces. The stock ones are pretty weak. http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0762b869.jpg http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...ps03bd4b3c.jpg I'm gonna have to take to dremmel to the front bumper to clear the servo arm, otherwise everything is fitting fine. http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...psd95af1ab.jpg I picked up some Helion aluminum SC schocks at the LHS. They seem pretty decent. http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...psd92c480f.jpg The stance is sweet. http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...ps93c694f4.jpg Now I need to catch up on some family time. My next goal for this is to build the tranny tonight. |
Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough Ahhh I see. The front lower control arms seem to hang way low. What would they look like flipped over? I like budget minded shocks and savox servo. |
Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough I installed the links the other way too and they hung low at the skidplate end. I decided with the lower COG I should provide more clearance at the middle of the vehicle rather than near the tires. The shocks are a good fit. I like the caps because they have a spacer built in. I haven't filled them yet but I'm thinking of going with a light oil. |
Can't wait to see some video. Thats a lot of motor for a tight "brutal" track. How are you planning to fit and gear the 550? |

Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough Hey, contact VP about the servo posts. I had the same issue and they don't think there is a problem with them. Just let them know. |

Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough Looks more like they are 90 degrees out of phase then upside down. They should fit flat to allow the link ends to rotate properly during the suspension cycle. |

Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough Those are 1/5 inch. That's teeny. And that's probably cheap steel. Breaky Breaky |
