Lookin good man, curious to see what it looks like w/ some skins. I like the carbon fiber too, it willl be a shame to cover it up w/ side panels, CF is just so purdy. I might do some traveling this year with my XR, I might head out to one of your local events.

We would be glad to have you come and crawl with us. I can't wait to see your truck! It does suck I need to cover up the cf. :-(

DickyT · 01-04-2011, 06:33 AM

Clear side panels

It is what I plan to do

articzap · 01-05-2011, 02:51 PM

Just ordered HR C-Hubs, VP knuckles and Chaotic Crawlers tie rod. Updated first post with parts list too.

Good choices !

You and Ryan , orr any/all of the WNYRCRC club members gotta make it down to Cleveland for a comp nite .....
You won't be disappointed !!! If ir gets to late or you guys can even plan on it , just stay at my house then leave in the morning . Always easier to drive 3 1/2 hours after you've slept , plus that my wife is an AWESOME FREAKIN COOK !!!

I'll talk to Ryan about this ASAP. I would love to crawl with you guys again! Unfortunly my truck is down until everything comes in, which could be a little bit of time.

I compared my servo to another XR10 that was running at the last comp, and the heat difference was minimal.

Regardless I'm going to the servo flip with this rebuild, with another potential great idea, we shall see though.

are you still running the stock steering knuckles?

articzap · 01-06-2011, 04:57 PM

Yes I was. Not going to be anymore.

articzap · 01-08-2011, 07:22 PM

I've been sick for a good 5 days now, so I haven't been able to get much work done, despite having parts sitting here. No motivation or energy. Took two days but I managed to get my Sedona's mounted up on my new DHII's. This is a crappy teaser picture, but enjoy it for now.

Next its time for axle tear down. Traxxas bushings and VP motor plates.

Harvo · 01-08-2011, 08:01 PM

Thats a cool effect on the pic. What caused it?

Your guess is as good as mine. Let me list off the stuff on back order......

HH Torquemaster ESC
Axial CF Electronics Tray
Axial CF Battery Tray
Axial Springs

The stuff without shipping information but deemed in stock.......

HR C-Hubs
VP Knuckles

Raceaholic · 01-09-2011, 05:02 AM

Nice job. This truck was good almost stock. I can't wait to see it with all the upgrades. Thanks for all your help with the club

articzap · 01-11-2011, 05:32 PM

Well this will still get built for the competitions I need to compete in, this project is otherwise on hold. Don't want to spend any more money right now.

articzap · 01-16-2011, 12:54 PM

Some back order parts are slowly filtering in.....

articzap · 01-16-2011, 04:46 PM

So I finally tore apart the transmissions to put in my VP motor plates and Traxxas bushings. I never once had an issue with my truck, or gear clicking, but to my amazement, 2nd gear motor plate bearing was blown apart on the front and rear. :O Boy was I shocked. Install went smoothly otherwise.

Only problem I have now is I have a stripped out motor gear set screw. Grrr!!! E-Z-Out didn't work.

Ideas?

BurnLatex · 01-16-2011, 05:05 PM

You can buy reverse rotation drill bits. They usually do the trick for me. Last resort would be to cut the gear off and get a new one.
