V2 Chump PRoto

[Almighty Malach]

Got a suprise a few weeks ago when I got my super chassis from Anthony, a new V2 Chump chassis and skidplate Finished putting it together this morning, here's some specs and pics.

Stock XR-10 axles with a couple 5x8 Traxxas bushings thrown in.
Integy 45t motors, for now.
7950, Castle Sidewinder, Castle BEC and spektrum rx
Micro servo and dig switches- waiting for another Sidewinder Micro so I can use my DX6i



Stock Axial shocks with whatever oil comes in the box, Losi golds up front and whites in back



The belly. Lower links are 5/32" music wire with Revo rod ends all around. I had some 3/16" aluminum rod laying around, so I thought I'd give it a shot for uppers.




Front axle caster. The motor is level with the bottom of the axle case and the "C's" are clocked as far back as I can get them for a total of about 30* of caster. After a few battery packs today, I really like how well it steers even with the stock steering setup.



VP servo guard There is something about the way the servo mounts to the axle that puts a lot of stress on the drivers side ears, so I whipped up a guard. Not worried about breaking the servo anymore


Overall I'm very happy with the performance so far, very smooth and quiet. I think more weight and softer springs is in order, there were a few times I couldn't get the front to settle on a climb. Thanks for looking.

It took 4th yesterday... is that good? I moved the upper links to the 2nd hole down and it made a huge difference, the truck now works just like I want it to. Its very stable on sidehills, and climbs as well as any other truck I've had.
