i will try some scx shocks

some mods for them

Teflon plates

Tamiya shock bladder

1.5mm breather hole for the cap

JeremyH · 09-01-2011, 09:12 AM

Hey Christian, are you planning on running those upside down? I run mine in the regular position and have not noticed any leaking from the cap....mostly from the cartridge. Have you waved your magic wand over that end of the shock?

nice piece

Nice shock mods. The stock pistons are terrible. Those Teflon ones should be slick (pun intended). What are the part numbers for those bladders?

i want them upside down , with the bladder and the vented cap there is less pressure inside so it shouldn´t leak that much

I waved my magic teflon tape over that end of the shock and so far so good.

Dude, you are so keen

Next problem with the scx shocks is the stock cap limits articulation from side to side. My fronts had to be stood up (when viewed from the front) to free them up.

And thanks, i'll definitely have to keep those little guys in mind.

Wow...this thing is badass! Nice work Christian.

Really? Mine dont seem to leak from the threads, but the orings. Maybe I just need to replace them all....

EGRESSor · 09-09-2011, 12:01 AM

i modded a pair of Tekin fxr´s

removed the cases and solder posts

added a cooling/mounting plate and bullet connectors for the motorwires

the bullets are gold plated aluminium ones

i will try some 14 or 16t 454 cobalt pullers

TSK · 09-09-2011, 12:21 AM

That's a fricken sick setup. How is the cooling plate bonded to the esc without shorting the esc out?

bob1961 · 09-09-2011, 10:00 AM

my bet some kind of epoxy or shoe goo....this rig just keeps getting better each time i read this thread

That turned out so perfect. Looks like the rear lowers haven't ouched a rock yet.

dude26 · 09-13-2011, 12:53 AM

EGRESSor · 09-13-2011, 08:09 AM

TSK · 09-13-2011, 01:39 PM

So bad ass.

Stormin2u · 09-13-2011, 02:23 PM

Sick video Christan, love the wall climb that's really impressive.

Great idea with the ESCs, it's a great mod.

EGRESSor · 09-16-2011, 07:04 AM
