Looks awesome, I'll be following your build closely I just got the t1e rockshow and have a few setup questions and some of your pics have helped. Are you using the stock upper front links and rear stock lower links for the rear uppers and what rod ends did you use for the t1e lower links. Thanks

Looks great. Can't go wrong with a T1E chassis. |

Thanks for all of the comments. Sorry I don't have any action pics for you. I'm still having some electronics issues. My CC micro sidewinders are really starting to tick me off.  The rear works fine, the front esc after going in reverse doesn't always want to engage going forward and causes what essentially looks like a rear dig. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I understand that a few people have had issues with these ESC's. Is anyone else having this issue? |

Updates: Electronics: I'm sure this has been posted before but anyone running Castle Creations ESCs with a Futaba radio needs to reverse the throttle on the radio and calibrate individually. This seems to have cleared up 99% of my reversing issues. Now that green is forward and red is reverse, everything is running much smoother. No hammer needed.  Wheels/Tires: The little that I have had this running, I noticed that I needed a bit more weight up front and some tire support. I ordered up some of Eddie at Crawler Innovation's weights and DHII's wheel rings. I ordered them on Friday night and in 1hr, they were shipped! INCREDIBLE service!  I was getting a ton of wheel wrap and these should help!   I halved the inner foam to fit the support rings   I'll post up some additional action shots and reviews of the rings. I'm sure they are going to do just what I needed. Last edited by TC09mini; 03-12-2011 at 12:07 PM. |

Looks good, glad you got it together. What hubs did you go with? I know a place you can come get some practice in this Saturday. |

This is a really nice build. That chassis is looking better by the minute! Please post some videos when you get some driving time. Last edited by Oso787; 06-14-2011 at 07:48 AM. |

Finally had some time to get out and do some running with this truck. I'm experiencing a bit more of a learning curve coming from shafty than I expected.  I just need to get more time behind the radio with this rig.  Next changes, I've got some skidz made for the motor and I'm going to shorten the front lowers a bit. The front motor seems to be taking a real beating so I'm going to add caster a different way. Last edited by TC09mini; 03-27-2011 at 11:34 AM. |
