quick question... what size screws are people using for the lower links? 25mm is too short. 30mm is too long. i guess im going to have to cut some 30's down so they fit better

You talking about were they attach to the skid? It was a head scratcher for me as well when i was putting together the ST, so i just cut down the skid a bit so the 25mm would work.

i think thats what im going to do also. just not rigt now. ill finis the moch up and work out the details later.

but i am already at a stand still. when i go my traxxas ends i didnt get the right size... KK links have a 4mm thread and my ends are 3mm so im going to see if i can drill them out for now and grab some more later tonight. i believe the jato ends are 4mm... plz correct me if im wrong

I used the Revo rod ends. Worked just fine. Jatos would be massive.

drilled the ends out and they seem to work fine for now. ill just pick some up late so i can keep building.

Make sure you use 2 more bolts to attach the side plates to the skid (not just the ones for the links) this will make it a lot stronger. looking good so far.

will do... ty for that bit of info. i need to remove those this morning and shave the skid an seperate the lower links a little bit. then add the jato ends.

im not liking the fuel tubing im using for te shocks. does anyone know what else can be used for the losi shocks.... trying find a specific ball/socket or something

as you can see i cut 3mm off from each of the 4 corners so that i could use the 25mm screws fom rccrewz and catch the locknut

It's coming along nicely...

Were you planning on clocking your axles?
Still undecided on mine, was just going to run them stock and see how bad I drag the motor around, at least to start with.:mrgreen:

curious about what im going to do for steering. i want to use the KK steering rod but not sure how/where to place the servo. i could use a few suggestions... been looking at a few other berg and KK builds but i cant find what im looking for.

some detailed pics would help me alot!

just an update. starting my dig switches.

looking really good. Are you going to be running the shafty this weekend?

yup. the swx is running top notch

Are either of you guys going to the comp this weekend?
If so, I'll see you there! "thumbsup"

Sorry, for the tread hi-jack!

yes i was signed up... not sure where exactly the slab is but i know where the falls are... i have room for 1 more if either of you know EXACTLY where the location is... google map sucks for the woods.! shoot me a pm if your inerested...

FYI- ill be rocking out on the way up!

The stock Berg balls for there ball ends work well for the losi shocks.

Awesome build up man..Can't wait to see it done and on the rocks!!"thumbsup"
Keep the updates coming...Make sure you go shoot some video or action shots when you get it done!:lol:

i only picked up the axles from a local shop so im stuck with the tubing for now.

but i do have a few questions. im wondering what im going to do for a stearing set up. from what i can see. everyone has been doing something different. i have the KK linkage so i might as well start there. im jus not sure how im going to mount the servo... i hate doing homework!

speaking of homework. :-( i forgot i have class tomorrow...

motors should be here tomorrow. 45t HH torquemasters. panthers showed up today and my mayhams should be coming soon.

got the esc and dig switches wired last night... ill try for pics tomorrow
