drawbacks, you have to cut the stock servo mount
and you need to add 3mm spacers between servo plate and mounts if you run the shocks on the axle

Good work on the servo...the wheel weights look good too. How much weight do they add and when can I place my order?

the knuckle weights are 80 gramm ea.
i will try some tungsten alloy weights next time

ittybitty · 01-25-2011, 08:22 AM

Tungsten...that'd be just about as heavy as you could get in a small package. My wedding ring is Tungsten and weighs 15g so if you actually were able to put that much of it together in one piece it'd be crazy heavy. You might have some problems with your drill bits though...hell...good luck threading it too!

My knuckles have tungsten weights in them and it works out well. Cutting the stuff is a royal hastle but the work is worth it. A 1" length of 0.375 weighs 1oz. Serious gravity.

ittybitty · 01-26-2011, 09:07 AM

Yeah I saw those...but still not sure how drilling and tapping would work out if at all.

EGRESSor · 01-31-2011, 01:26 AM

it´s ready for my vacation now

rtr weight 2456gramm , 250gramm are knuckle weights and the ones at the lockouts
dual sidewinder micro
checkpoint based 40t´s
Servo HV300

Nice spot looks like lava rock, hope you had a good one man.

strawb · 02-21-2011, 09:41 AM

two things:

1) how are the sidewinder micros? are you using them as is or did you place a heatsink?

2) those delrin wheels are killer!!!

Hi Christian,

nice video, looks like you enjoy "fylin" around with your XR

Greetings Frank

DickyT · 02-21-2011, 01:09 PM

Cool video Christian

the rock towards the end reminds me of one close to me I have nicknames "The Spire" Not great for comping as no other rocks around it for gates, but great for practice!

The Spire

I'm looking forward to seeing some more goodies from you. Tungsten weights sounds great

BEELZEBOB · 02-21-2011, 01:49 PM

Absolutely LOVE IT!!

Del Monte · 02-21-2011, 01:52 PM
