installed aluminium screws, light weight axial gears, titanium shaft, all the vanquish parts





cut a perfectly good set of knuckle weights down

How did you keep them so even? They look pretty identical.

Nice job

cheers mate,

I marked it up with a ruler and cut with a hacksaw and used a nice file to finish them off

This will keep all the weight down low and I will do the same for some add on rings for the new wheels

Knuckle weights look good, i was thinking about doing that on mine.

Lol. i thought you were going to say something fancy, cos way you did it, is way i would have, just not sure it would have come up as nice.

[jakesy]

finished the shocks and mounted the chassis and links

[jakesy]

Finally mounted the electrics and wheels sorted today.

[EverettY]

Wow now that is pretty! I love it....

[zeko]

[Harvo]

Curious to see how the wheels work out for you. I hope it all works out. They are really light for sure!

[Hulksta]

Cheers for the comments

Harvo, I did read your bad luck at ECC, sucks hard. Got some Y-town wheels coming to run, they were shipped today

Hey Dan, RTR is 1901 grams = 4.2lb (from memory) with 100 grams of knukle weight. When the new Broods and a couple of other bits of nice kit turn up it should be a little lighter.

4.2lb is where the first secret agent sat with all plastic axles and gear cases so I am pleased at the result.

[Hulksta]

Thats nice and light.. going to be hard to beat next month

I have been crawling about 6 times since January, not one comp, nats next month already , hard to beat the cobwebs out of my head, thats about it, should be fun though, good to see everyone again.

[Oz Bruiser]

Should.be an interesting comp all round, few guys flying in this time, plus lightweight rigs should make an interesting mix of variables. so you I'll probably fine once you back on the rock.

Great build so far! Good looking rig.
I havnt had any issues with my blitz and traxxas slash wheels but i know some people have so im a little more concious of stripping hexes now when crawling.

New light weight Motors you got deffinitly worth the weight saving when chassing every last gram

Rig looks good and side angle pretty damn good and no major tyre lean, Dan maybe right if you get your driving together you might be hard to beat next month mate.
