i really wanted to try the 1/16th cab so here it is....i also made a body while i am waiting for a few items to show up. i know the 1/16th by itself wont hold up on a 2.2 but i i backed the cab section with the body material so it should hold up if i dont beat on it too hard. now i got windows! i have the rest of my electronics coming, some upgraded bearings (thanks ol'gravy) and some more vanquish bling... GOD I"M BOARD!! |

If your board work on that V4 BJ please I used your advice and made my V3 in to a V4 today and it worked great but now I know every one in my club will want me to do it, and I rather just tell them to buy one from you. Nothing like tossing out a chassis if you mess up. Your truck looks great Jeremy. |

I am planning on bending some links, now i know this is home made but what store bought benders is there out there that can bend as tight bends as this one can, if none where can i get my hand on some of those rollers??? Thanks!! [QUOTE=krawlfreak;2652384]link time. these things made my H.F. bender go into a corner and cry so the "VIOLATOR" had a stroke of genius and came up with a five minute bender. this thing is awesome.... |

Thanks a lot looks like a deal for me but just have to wait for that $65 to get into my pocket first lol What did you use for your link material?? I do plan on trying couple different setups with stock chassis till the v4 is out. Like a 40/60 and 30/70 or 35/65 you know!! | |

They are sliding glass door rolers. Home depot has em for @7 bucks. Finding someone like the violator to build one in 5 minutes.......priceless!

updates!! i waited to get this thing going because of all the bearing failures...so i ended up doing the 9mm bearing mod and also replaced all the other 8mm bearings as well. for electronics i am going with the mamba micros shrink wrapped and the new 614ff receiver from futaba. while i was waiting for my electronics i made a small battery tray to get the battery up to the front axle....OLD SCHOOL!! i am planning to not run much weight at all in the wheel so every bit i can get to the front will help with the bias i am after. even though the new receiver is small, i shrinked it and made it even smaller! electronics installed ..........and on to the VANQUISH bling! i made some new tie rods with the revo and jato ends i will eventually make a solid drag link for the car i just ran out of time. i am working on getting some final weights, and i will post them soon. |
