Dlux kit... 101... With my son jumping into pro, for the first time, at our last EPA comp and doing Extremely well.. It's time for his own! I don't mean he did well, in placing(which he did, lol), but in driving and handling dig and burn.. I saw something, in him, that jumped me into high gear... It couldn't of come at a better time! With the start of the "Dlux kit".. it was like it was meant to be! Straight to Erik, I went! After switching to Dlux Superlite's on my pro, I couldn't be more confident in my rigs reliability.. So what else would you want to give a newbie driver, to thrash on, that's 11yrs old!? It's here, it's here!!! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ccb18f0909.jpg Packaged awesome, semi prebuilt(which will help many ppl be able to build this, knowing where stuff goes before taking apart to build), and looks Great! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...6ff62757bf.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fde0b18e8e.jpg I'll be getting better pics, as I go.. I'll try to explain as much as possible.. This needs to be built and on the rocks, in less then 2 weeks! Good thing i have a full free day tomm.... As for electronics... Holmes Hobbies and Hitec.. HH servo to come.. (he can't have my spare 7950) lol.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...011d0d63ad.jpg |

Re: Dlux kit... 101... Awesome Dad!!!! It's bad enough most of us can't beat the old man!!!! Now this:shock:. But wait..... what if the little Winner beats the big (read "old") Winner "thumbsup" |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... Looks like a great kit, it will be good to here your feedback for others interested in the kit and let little winner put it to the test like his old man does with his stuff, then we will know truly how good it is. "GOD SPEED" |

Dad would be Stoked!!!!!! But let's not get ahead of our selves.. I'm still building and tuning it. "I don't know why it's not working right!?".. [emoji33] [emoji38] |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... Is the kit using the traxxas steel links and he just puts his bends in them? Chassis looks great all together. "thumbsup" |

All Traxxas links, Dlux bent.. |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... OK, so I said I was doing the rear but ended up in the front.. had to hunt down some C's.. NOS http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c72a06fa3f.jpg Nope, after switching to non 8°, I had to go that route.. There they are.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...533c5fe34a.jpg Now where to start.. Screw's are included, to mount the tubes.. very easy! Erik only taps the tube flange about half way. That way the second half cuts it's own threads and stays nice and snug fitting.. The flanged bearing goes in the aluminum spacer.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d42fa24ac2.jpg That way gears fit as they should http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...7914eea496.jpg Non flanged bearings go in the short tube side and get held in by the CF piece.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f063fc683b.jpg All together and looks Great! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...699c84f8f0.jpg Now to drill and set the shock an link mounts and the C's.. After some fancying up.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8f6fb36100.jpg Fancy.... http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d971aa1f57.jpg |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... Wow that's one lucky boy! With a super dad! 149 r/c worx team driver |

While we are here.. let's give that locker a better look.. Dlux Missing Link, locker.. Lightened and hardened.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...7264dd961d.jpg Gear goes to the long side, for proper fitment.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...9606ee420f.jpg How it works.. To keep the user friendly use of Dlux FBA and XR length shafts, everything is offset in the locker.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...2eab37e87c.jpg What it looks like inside the tube, view.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f881998d3e.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...38c39ef025.jpg And that's how that beauty works! Ingenious!!!! After thrashing on the Missing Link and the FBA shafts, in my truck, I'll be moving towards that, in Aiden's truck.. after the NENC.. Only so much coin can be justified, to see how he takes to pro.. [emoji106] (specially when stock ones are sitting here) lol.. More to come.. Tomm should be electronics and conformal coating. Wed, rear axle Thurs, assembly and hopefully rtr.. I need to get this done, so he can get some practice and so I can get some practice! |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... I have missed a good ole Weiner build thread! Looks great! I am stoked to see what he thinks of this thing! I bet he whoops up on you! |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... I didn't go thru the pics for the rear axle, like I did for the front.. but dam are these Sexy!!! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...842512648b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fd42f062f3.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...270cceb649.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...069ad05880.jpg |
Re: Dlux kit... 101... Excellent! Nice to see the way the kit is coming together. Did the internal pieces of the axles come with the kit? |
