[FLOKI-81]

there is still a chance to find em,,
I have been looking for over 2 years for them and I found 2 brand new ones in the original bag this winter,the same winter as I build me a dlux berg,
the only thing that was used was the linkmounts,,but they look like new.
so there is still hope for everybody!!!

Wanna sell a front one! LOL

Final running weight of the rig with battery installed and all slug weights installed is 4lbs. 10oz. Front width outside tire to outside tire is 10.6 inches and the rear is 10.1 inches. My goal was to keep it under 5lbs. and I can still fine tune the weight with the slugs. Want to see how it crawls with all the way it is first.

I have been looking all over the world for over 2.5 years for those axletops and linkmounts,,I`ve probably used over 50 hours just looking for those final vanquish parts,,,now I have all the vp-upgrades
Just have patience,,I saw a VP gearhouse on the classified pages just last week,
so there are from time too time some parts out there,,

Man that thing is too pretty. Get it out on the rocks!

Do you remember what length steering tie rod you used? (behind axle) I'm tired of just using all-thread and stainless tubing. Need to get a TI tie rod. Thanks. JP

Thanks JP, she is pretty!! I had it on the rocks Thursday afternoon for an hour and it performs even better than it looks. Yesterday we got 6" of snow so I need that to go away Bad!! The titanium tie rod I made is 171.5mm from eye to eye with Revo rod ends. I think if you have VP or stock knuckles it may have to be slightly longer.

Looks great take some pics on the rocks or video .

Another package from Crawler Innovations came today, these gold dots are getting cut and shut tomorrow night!! I would like to give a shout out to Eddie from CI for hooking me up with the last pair of golds he had in stock and the narrow foams. As always great service and fast shipping, and I finally have enough Double Bubble to to give out to all the neighborhood kids for next Halloween!!!

Try yssolutions or offroadrckorea... They have a bunch of obscure vp parts for xrs you can prob grab an axle top from one of their sites

Project Cut n Shut went well, this is the first time I have modded my own tires so I was a little nervous hacking into 80 bucks worth of tires but I think they came out pretty damn good!! Here is a size comparison to a stock tire

[FLOKI-81]

great work on those voodoos..
I will try to make my own aswell when the narrowed set I run now is worn down

[blandon]

Being a contractor I like to have no waste so I present to you Cut n Shut jewelry. Because nothing says I love you like the center section of a $20 tire!! Also available in silver.

Stock cases with brass inserts, Stock gear cases with RC4WD gears and RC4WD motor plates and stock link mounts.
You don't need all that fancy s*** and you save money and weight.

I know the feeling ...... did you go just width or did you change height too?

[blandon]

I only went with width on this pair. I may get more experimental on the next set

Truck is coming along nice. Keep up the good work.
