Hello ! I've just had the last missing parts ! The best deal ever, custom axial rings made by John (Fuber Crawler  ) thanks a lot man !So, I finished the wheels ! but... I forgot to buy 4.40 screws for the VP hubs I'm such an idiot    36g (1.27oz) for a back beadlock without screws... 38g (1.34oz) for the front... not that bad ;) I'll use .600 front hub & .350 for the back wheels !  Here I am... waiting for the screws |

Why the zip tie around the axle? Crawler looks great, very unique style.  | |

Hi ! @vypr : this is the DaHu, a french creation ( Link to the french topic ! ) @eisman : those zip tie are here because i've not worked on my custom steering link  @Rob : DaHu is working fine, the only tuning I did is to drill 4 holes at the rear of the chassis to allow smoother moves of the rear axle...  And here is today's work :  |

Thanks Makes perfect sense now. Steering setup looks good. I like seeing the homemade solutions. Why choose the torsion chassis over a more conventional link/shock setup? Edit- Just noticed that you've got your drag link mounted in front of your servo horn. Try putting it behind the horn to give yourself more clearance. Last edited by eisman; 03-31-2012 at 12:10 PM.

Well the choice of a torsion chassis seemed easy to me... for some reasons ! first : I spent so much time/money on my ax10 to make it half perfect that I wanted something "simple & cheap" for the XR10 second : I was wondering how far the "torsion" concept could be efficient on the rocks... third : there is no setup on torsion chassis !!!! that's great fourth : it's a FRENCH creation ! EDIT : the drag link is in the front because if I put it behind it touches the servo and I don't have maximum steering Last edited by elpizzaboy; 03-31-2012 at 01:02 PM. |

Merci I'm curious to hear how you like it after you have some drive time on it. I really like the look of the chassis, but I don't think I could give up on the adjustibility of a link/shock chassis. |

Hi Everybody ! I've not given news for a long time ! So here I am... New shoes for my rig now he's ready to go on holydays !  After a few pack, I can say that they are the best I've ever ran... Some short videos... First Second My impressions driving the DaHu are every day better as I start to know how it really works ! Sexy photo, just for fun  But after a long hill climb, it falls down  result is... one broken wheel !  There was not a lot of water... but it was enough to burn the ESC   So little changes are expected ! First : A huge load of pasti-dip to avoid such problems Second : Micro sidewinders... might be better & smaller Third : HV767 servos Fourth : lots of spare parts !

Hello ! Wow, I forgot to send news for a really long time ! I've not seen/driven my rig since June the 10th as it moved to our new home ! I hope to get it back before the end of the month... Before moving, I made a new lexan skin for the dahu... But had no time to put it on !  |
