qty 2 Shock Cap, black/blue aluminum qty 2 Shock Spring Cup, black/blue aluminum qty 2 Shock Bottom Cap, black/blue aluminum qty 2 Shock Collar, black/blue aluminum and another $18.70 for qty 2 aluminum shock bodies. Then, you still need to add the shafts, o-rings, etc. The Dravtechs are a relative bargain, but (as mikemcE stated) you don't get threaded shock bodies. Still, I'll bet they are very nice - and getting the kit definitely softens the blow to your wallet by including them! |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Durok for the score!! Thats exactly it. Pistons, shafts, seals are almost the same between them. The Enduro bodys have the edge with threaded preload. If these shocks are as Associated shocks are, I wont go back! Hang up and Drive |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I just started on the transmission after spend a bit of time thinking about whether to mount it reversed or not. I decide flipping the motor position really didnt move things front to back much and having the motors weight on the left would be best for lessening torque twist or at least not working against it. I found the bearing going into the piece on the right was very tight and it needs to be pressed in. I dont have a press but I was able to used a wood clamp to work it down until it seated, keep in mind it still sticks up a bit when fully seated. https://i.imgur.com/UiQJiVMl.jpg I pray that bearing never needs replacing |

I found the same thing with mine Casey. I used my drill press to seat it. Finally figured out that it will not sit all the way into the drive. (Looks just like yours, but it still worked fine. "thumbsup" Ernie |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Oh man... I'm SO EXCITED you guys are starting on your kits!!! ENDUROS ASSEMBLE!!!!!!! |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! One other note on the metal gears for the tranny, these are really big hunks of metal! They also weigh in accordingly. I'm wondering if using the plastic gears that came with the tranny Kit (I ordered separately) is worth the weight savings, I'm not going brushless. For now I'll run the metal gears though. The tranny all assembled (without the motor or spur gear cover) weighs in at a 1/2 lb BACK TO ASSEMBLY!!!!!! EDIT: they do not provide a pinion, I was assuming they would. Thats fine though I have plenty to choose from but probably not an 18T The position of the spur gear makes lining up the pinion difficult without the right pinion even if you're installing it backwards like they show in the manual. Though this will vary from motor to motor as some shafts are longer. Even then (for me at least) its tight positioning the set screw out of the way of the spur which leaves it right at the end of the motor shaft barely holding on. I'd say the ideal pinion for these would have the teeth cut all the way though it without a step in it or one with a set screw that's out of the way. https://i.imgur.com/RQr4CMfl.jpg oh and BLACK GOLD! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k_-YlUoy14 https://i.imgur.com/zmYRGLxl.jpg |
What I'm doing to my ENDURO! A 32p swap might be a game changer. Associated makes a drop in 32p 54t drop in already. https://www.associatedelectrics.com/..._gear_54t_32p/ Hang up and Drive |

Why would that be??? Me Too! "thumbsup" Quote:
They look really sharp Casey nice choice! You aren't kidding about the weight of the metal gears, and I bet they will make a little noise. Quote:
Could be a good option, but I'll give the 48p a try first. Ok, almost a roller! https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...1-IMG_1576.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...2-IMG_1577.jpg Went together so smooth, everything moves nicely with no hint of binding or link bumping!! https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...3-IMG_1578.jpg The bottom, https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...4-IMG_1580.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...5-IMG_1581.jpg I'm not good at conveying my thoughts sometimes so I'm letting the pics do most of the talking!;-) https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...6-IMG_1582.jpg I think I can make this fit with a little trimming, I may need to build my own sliders. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...7-IMG_1583.jpg And a Wertys made bumper, fits nicely and should have a good approach. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...8-IMG_1584.jpg All for tonight, I may have the rest of the kit parts on it tomorrow. You all have a great weekend! "thumbsup" Ernie |
What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I’d have to do the math on 87/18 so 54/11 is a bit taller...... Oh my Ernie !!!!! Hang up and Drive |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Lookin good Ernie! |

Found this in my bin of AE spurs. I don't know where I even picked it up at. Wondering if it's to big to fit in. Makes me want to go out and pick up a kit now https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4069ce2493.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! 32p..... hmmmmm.... who's going to try! |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I put my roller (with a battery) on the scale and its sitting a 5 lbs even, not bad with that heavy tranny. https://i.imgur.com/510SxVDl.jpg 5lb 10 oz with an Ascender K10 body https://i.imgur.com/tAvnXcql.jpg I ended up installing my servo out of order, I didn't pay enough attention and mounted it from above and I had the drag link on top of the knuckle instead of the bottom. This made for tons of bump steer, about 5-10 degrees when I compressed one side at a time. I was worried for a second that it was just a bad design causing it, Luckily it was as easy as fixing my stupid mistake. It was a bit eye opening how moving these drag link mount points had such a huge effect. To me the link looked like it was just right, nice and parallel but it really wasn't. |

The color of those Chubs reminds me of the OG RC10 and very fitting. Just received my kit, waiting on my hard plastic parts and these chubs like like a nice addition. |

Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! A little update on fitting the body and Cage build. ;-) Did a little trimming to get it down a little lower. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...1-IMG_1585.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...2-IMG_1586.jpg Now the fun begins, fabbing is on of my favorite things to do when building! https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...3-IMG_1587.jpg I'm going to build a latter type role bar. I'll take you through a few of the steps, letting the pics do the talking, "thumbsup" https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...4-IMG_1588.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...5-IMG_1589.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...6-IMG_1590.jpg Bobbed the bed and did a little trimming inside. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...8-IMG_1595.jpg Started on the tail gate and the side upper bed rails. The bed is going to rest on them. Also added some forward tabs to screw the bed to. ;-) https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...9-IMG_1597.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...1-IMG_1599.jpg A little peak at the inside of the bed, going to run a ascender fuel cell in there. All for now, thanks any help or advice you want to offer. |
