SSD Contenders. Cheap hardware, broke off two fricken screws, but ya really like the wheels. Plus maybe I over tightened so may have been my bad:) Also note they are fairly deep. Had to use like 8mm offsets if I’m remembering correctly at the moment. Otherwise the wheel would rub against the link mount on top of the casters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! So as one might expect, ran into issues right away in mocking up the 66’ Bronco body. With it having floor boards it was sitting about an inch high due to resting on top of the receiver box. After much brain storming about maybe getting a smaller receiver box or cutting the existing box to make it shorter, the answer turned out to be staring me in the face the whole time. Thanks to MikemcE suggesting to put the stock battery tray mount in the rear for extra support, it was clear where to move the receiver box to. Simply tapped 4 new holes in the bottom of the box and problem solved! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ccf8f9fd2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...80cf2fc008.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7734783412.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a372d06354.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Enduro, here we endurgo! I just looked at that RX box also, came up with the same solution, thanks to you! I wish the brace was my thought, but Harley did it first. My need was wiring neatly with motor leads and 1080 switch. Hang up and Drive |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Quote:
Ha, well yet another idea of Harley’s I’ve used then:) And yes totally agree. The accidental outcome of moving it, is it’s definitely going to make for some much cleaner wiring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Great body choice, and lovin' people throwing out their unique solutions to fitment situations... Can't wait to see it with paint! |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Nice sollution for the receiver box! |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Glad I read this. I'm just starting on the chassis and I really like that box mount. Kudos "thumbsup" |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Hey cool! Gotta say after all ideas I’ve “borrowed” from so many sharp people on here, I’m pretty proud to have been able to contribute to a solution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Okay calling all tips please. After relocating the receiver box, got my wiring all re-routed. Not a huge fan of the rats nest created by just trying to get the ESC wires down low enough to clear the floor board. So please don’t mention it as I’m really trying not to let it bother me:) With that completed, https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f35275ff30.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...07512e2e09.jpgI’m ready to brainstorm on body mounting. In trying to get away from body pins I picked up some Extra speed rare earth magnets that come with metal body post to screw the magnet to the top of the post. So no problem there. But being as the under side gets painted I can’t think of a way to glue the other mags to the body with melting the paint away. Would really like to put screws through the body to attach the mags with. In the back this should work cause I can basically hide them using stainless steal screw that blend in with the sticky back diamond plating I’m going to line the entire back area in under the cage. For the front though not sure what I could do to hide the screws. Any tips would be great, or an idea completely different I’m totally open to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! I use shoe goo for the underside. It doesnt seem to melt the paint any at all. Alot of people here use shoe goo or e6000 with no problems Sent from my SM-J327VPP using Tapatalk |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! I use E6000 with no problems. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |
Enduro, here we endurgo! Rare Earth, Shoe Goo or E6000 Follow the video, be patient and use the clear tape. They hold! Biggest trick is patience!! You really need to wait a week for the paint to cure, then give the shoe goo 24 hours. I’ve yet to lose any paint https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dd5aa8a10d.jpg https://youtu.be/JattsfLcmuw Hang up and Drive |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Just a nonsensical thought.... I don't submerge my rigs, so this might apply to few builders. I cut a piece of lexan and mount the HW1080, switch and receiver in the location of the servo winch area - don't use the wiring box at all. Makes for a very clean, weight balanced setup. Another option.... |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Well cool, e6000 or shoe goo it is. Thanks for the info. Seems I made it a lot more complicated then I needed to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Looks like your making good progress, I had to narrow my electronics trays to accommodate the body I chose, so my stock receiver in that location as well. 👍🏼 |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Quote:
Nice! What body? The 66’ Bronco I’m going with had the same issue. Luckily just slightly. So was able to hear the lexan up a little bit and just work the bottom edges out a little. Was thinking of trimming the trays as well but noticing that the body tapers down towards the rear. So couldn’t think of a good way of cutting the trays without them being at an angle following the body line ya know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! THATS AWESOME!!!! great stuff seeing what bodies the kit builder folks are going with. im still struggling with either keeping the RTR body (and putting a truggy cage on it) or going with... "something else" ;) |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Shoegoo also does the trick for me with the magnets and, well almost anything on a lexan body. Magnets, 3D printed parts, you name it. Love the choice of the body. |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Hey, dezfan... Does the Boss Hog body come with masks for the cage area as well as for the windows? Enquiring minds want to know! "thumbsup" |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Well after not being patient enough, finally successful in getting the magnets to hold on the body. Let’s get this damn thing out on the rocks finally! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e075ccdfeb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7b70e8caac.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7b78a3eb58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b8f26c5cc.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Enduro, here we endurgo! Almost too pretty for the rocks. Great job, looks awesome! "thumbsup" |
