AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Hot off the press is the truss for the AR60/Wraith axles. This truss will serve as a upper link mount, servo mount and truss. There is also a rear version that provides an upper link mount to match the front. I am putting these up at rock bottom prices in hopes of pushing a huge quantity out the door. $16 for the front sporty (truss,link,servo) $12 for the rear sporty (link mount only) $25 for the U4 rear $35 for the U4 front These will most likely start shipping Monday, Nov 4th. "thumbsup"
This is intended as a universal product. You may need to modify the mount, your car or your links to get it to work the way you want. All sporty trusses will be made in carbon fiber. U4 trusses will be in aluminum. Sporty servo mounts include the low center of gravity stand offs, U4 trusses include the more robust servo mounts that also raise the servo up flush with the bottom of the housing. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps6xfa7saj.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...pswswewwmx.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...psjkb50yfl.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...pswv4o6dsj.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps3913ff5d.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps9c48e8bf.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps393ec7d0.jpg Ultra version: $33 for the front $29 for the rear Now shipping are the new full length, lockout to lockout, chub to chub carbon fiber trusses. This should significantly help or end breakage on the plastic housings. The front truss not only strengthens but it also acts as a servo mount and an adjustable upper link mount. A piece of 1/4" Delrin has been added to reenforce the area where these housings most commonly break. These are available on my website in the XR/Wraith category. dluxfab.com/products |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount 1 Attachment(s) Some of you guys should be getting these trusses tomorrow. Here are some simple instructions to get your trusses installed. The rod balls must be Revo rod balls for there to be zero slop. Revo balls are smaller than Jato but larger than the shock balls. The Revo balls measure approx 7mm wide. You can use the 7mm Revo balls in multiple different rod ends to mix and match to get what you need. Start off by building the truss complete off the axle housing. Use the 6mm screws to hold the spacers to the CF. Make note that there are spacers that have thru holes in them and there is 1 spacer per front or rear that is threaded. The spacer that is threaded will be the one that goes on the far end of the rod ends away from the long button head. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...psc5ac2573.jpg Now you can install the truss onto the axle using 10mm screws for the top of the diff and the top of the tube. For the horizontal screw that goes through the diff webbing, you will use a 18mm cap head for the front, 20mm button head for the rear. For the front, you will want to install the servo mounts. The one closest to the diff simply screws onto the 18mm cap head you just put through. On the non diff side, you will want to put the 6mm set screw into the spacer, add a touch of loctite and then install the 2nd servo mount. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...psc82b2fdf.jpg When you install the rod ends you can do a simple trick that makes like much easier. Leave the outside spacer a touch loose, install the 30mm button head screw, 2 rod ends and the single rod ball and tilt it until it is all on the screw. Once its on the screw, push it down until you can thread it into the threaded spacer. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...psaa7e8ca8.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps677f03e6.jpg In order to get the servo to sit flush you will need to take off the tiny rib on the back side. I dont think this is 100% necessary but its fast and easy. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps42c46aa4.jpg |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Not needed anymore |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Sweet, just ordered. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Thanks! I will plan on getting them out Monday. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount These look great, I just ordered a set for a future build. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Thanks! I will have your entire order out ASAP. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount All orders shipped and I have a couple left over "thumbsup" I am starting another batch ASAP so if I do run out, it should only be for a day or two. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Updated the 2nd post with instructions. Feel free to post in this thread if something does not make sense or if you have an issue. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Mine has landed in the UK, great stuff "thumbsup" I had an extra hex spacer in the pack, confused me enough to check the instructions :lmao: |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Wow. That was fast! Yeah,.... I think I screwed up and put 1-2 extra spacers in. Whoops! |

Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Yeah, and even better is that those spacers take a decent amount of time and suck to make! Oh well. Enjoy! LOL |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Ok I found that special something I had to have. Just ordered a front and rear mount set. |

Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount 3 Attachment(s) The instructions worked for me. Minimal head scratching. Maybe I need a bath. They went together real nice. Only suggestions I would have is putting the front and rear in different baggies when they are ordered together. Also I used a longer set screw for the servo mount. When I emptied the contents I thought uh oh but, it turned out great. |
Re: AR60/Wraith Servo/Truss/Link mount Cool! Separate baggies is a good idea! I will implement that! Looks like you have the servo posts on backwards, the side that has the least space between the edge of the post and the threaded hole should go towards the housing. This is why I cant use a longer (maybe a bit longer does work?) because the set screw will hit the button head on the housing and then the servo mount screw. Thanks for the purchase and the feedback! |
