stubs LOANER build

[stubs179]

I kinda got out of crawling for the five years i lived in Florida because there just wasn't much rock to drive on. Now that i have moved back to Reno there is more rock than one could drive on in a lifetime!!! It has rekindled my love for these stupid little cars and i have been having so much fun. This made me decide I need an extra car for people that come with me to drive. So if anyone reading this doesn't have a car and wants to attend a comp i'm going to, its up for grabs!! Its built with Dlux parts so your not going to break it. haha




On to the car...

This car was pretty setup to begin with but i wanted things a little different. It had stock berg cases and Super 300's. After having Dlux Superlites i needed cases where the servo fits between and axle and motor properly. But one of my main issues was the wheel nuts, why anyone still runs wheel nuts is beyond me. They are terrible, annoying and a pain. So i got a hold of Dlux and ordered a set of his standard all Aluminum berg cases (Which look really cool!), 8mm stub axles, delrin knuckles and Loaded Dice. What a difference!!

I also threw on my old bodied Bounty Hunter chassis and got a set of Dlux No Preload spring cups. They are a must if your running Big Bores.

All in all the car is running really well. I am surprised at how well it works with only 4ish oz of knuckle weight.

How i got the car...



And a couple pics of how it sits now...







With stock gears and Dlux Aluminum stafts...

I am excited to test with this car because it has 8* knuckles. It has the same motors, esc's, servo, basically the same chassis and shocks. I just need another set of white dot Rovers. But I think that is going to be a pain finding two sets?

Its hard spending time around this car with those aluminum gear boxes. It makes me want a set for my car.
