Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades 2 Attachment(s) Here's a couple from me. Modified CBE link brackets and short Revo ends to gain some anti-squat. And a recycled Axial battery plate on the sliders. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades I was fabbing up link risers that are almost identical. Have you ran the truck with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades 1 Attachment(s) Yes, today. I have the links at the lowest position on the bracket, but plan to move them up another hole. I tried a line that I failed at before and it has made a difference. One more hole up and I think it'll be dialed. This is just a random picture from today. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades The link risers can also be mounted to the outside of the chassis, but you'll need to clearance the side plates. Both ways achieve the same results. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades Might have me some aluminum stock and a hand full of Jato rod ends... Hmmm... Nice quick little mod that should make a noticeable increase for very little dollars. Thanks! |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades The CBE risers I used had to be placed further back on the chassis to clear the motor and skid. The short upper rod ends brought the axle back to a stock position. You may have an easier time with your own custom made brackets. I used what I had on hand. Definitely worth the small effort. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades And after looking at sozes work with a BOM rear cage, I might make my own upper shock hoops too...? Great stuff!!! |

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades 2 Attachment(s) Revised Cab/Bed brackets: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-96751 Requires drilling 2 new holes, as well as 2 extra screws. Reduces the Cab/Bed flex a fair amount. Doesn't eliminate it, but it helps... |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades Oh those are great! I was thinking something like that would be a good fix, and there it is! Now I just need to decide on keeping the bed, or removing it for a BOM cage like soze has shown us, or going with an entirely different body?! These are good problems lol |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades Quote:
I really like the BOM cage on this chassis. Using the BOM body would've made it fit even better... but I already have an actual BOM lol. Anyway, I have a SR5 cab I can use as well, but I really like the Enduro cab with the hard plastic detail parts. All I need to do is stiffen up the rear suspension, and extend the rear cage posts. I had a chance to run it with the cage and it did pretty well despite the rear shock position. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades Pretty cool truggy there... "thumbsup" |

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades I was looking at the battery tray thinking it could sit lower so I did a bit of tinkering and came up with this: Lowered battery tray, the battery is as low as it can go in the stock location now. Its basically sitting on the frame rails now. https://i.imgur.com/Iz25XEtl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WttM6wYl.jpg What I did was notch the stock battery tray for the chassis rails. I used the ridges next to the holes as a guide of where to cut and the battery strap notch for the other cuts, and the angle I did freehand with a razor. The other cuts were made with a fine toothed hand saw. https://i.imgur.com/lbSYuqPl.jpg Flip the battery tray mount point/crossmember upside down so its offset downwards instead of up. https://i.imgur.com/XqCceyCl.jpg Notch the battery tray to clear the driveshaft. https://i.imgur.com/pGFX88ll.jpg Removed the ridge that runs between these holes so the battery tray could sit on the mount (this is probably not needed as I did shim this up a bit after) https://i.imgur.com/Tn1ReNAl.jpg With all that the tray now sits like so, with the chassis rails sticking up a few mm. https://i.imgur.com/2CGxZ1Xl.jpg I printed up some spacers to lift the tray up 2.3mm https://i.imgur.com/gFZUrKBl.jpg Put them in these holes https://i.imgur.com/ofo0RhQl.jpg and that raises the battery tray up so its now flush with the chassis rails. Stock screws can be re-used. https://i.imgur.com/WttM6wYl.jpg I though about designing a new tray to 3D print but hey why not re-use what I already have. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades VERY nice! my battery is just barely too big (currently not sitting flush in my enduro), so i might try the extra ascender battery tray i have laying around as my batt fits in those perfectly. this is great, maybe i will buy slightly smaller 3S packs and do this. |
Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades That mod should work with the larger tray too I assume. I think the RTR included the big and small battery tray too right? |
