|  stublet's SWX berg well, I finally switched over to berg axles, I have been very impressed with them so far but I need to get used to the new rig more  . I will post up some pics of the rig on the rocks tomorrow, but here is the build-Specs: mamba max 5955 servo 55t's 12t pinions proline 8 shooters bead locks TQ3 cc bec losi .9" aka 3.5" shocks Panther cougars paint can tops shoo goo'd on the motors I started by taking everything off of the ax10-  then, since I had a whole day before I got my axles I made my dig and mounted the panthers on the narrower prolines I use a full losi and a full proline standard foam in each tire   finally got my axles!  got everything mounted up... now for that steering I will let the pictures speak for how I did the steering, I went off the design of nluv's steering    had a comp tonight, I placed high enough to get 2nd in the series  and yeah, yeah, I know, the body is very similar to nluv's   Last edited by stublet; 10-11-2008 at 06:26 PM. |

we had a get-together at a local crawl spot yesterday and I got some more drive time on the rig, although, I drove CATO's rig and realized that I need to decrease the drastic shock angle, if I can, to get the rig to respond better... anyway, here's the pics-       |

well, the rig performed well today, we had a gtg in the freezing cold rain and I came out with second. I have updated a few things- -I have switched to the stock axial chassis and losi 4" shocks with a homade lexan skidplate and put a bug body on (the xc-1 doesn't fit too well), I have some 1/2-1/4" external spacers which limit my travel to about 50*-60* -I bought some mayhem "7" wk offset wheels from Chris Little (they were orange, I painted them black ) NO MORE STRIPPED HEXES!:-P-I also redid my steering servo mount (see pictures) -I went to ace hardware and got some stainless steel bushings/spacers and made my own lockouts here's the pictures of the new setup (sorry, I didn't take any pictures at the comp)-      |

What size exactly is the bushing you used for a lockout? It looked pretty solid today, but I didn't really look all that closely, is it pretty tight? Nice driving today. Long pants might be in order next time though... If you ever want to braze up a steel tie rod, LMK. I've got the stuff to do it |

the i.d. is 1/2" and the O.D. is 5/8".... ish, the fit depends on the fabricator , the first one I did came out perfect, no slop, the second one was cut a hair too short and has a little slop in it. I will still probably wear shorts till a REAL storm comes along |
