My new FOFF build

[crazee horse]

Good build, very different, the gearbox , are all the gears stock SCX10 ? Wouldn't have thought they'd have taken the beating from that brushless.

There's a idea.. Never thought about going to the Bogs with it...

Here a bit of a up-date guys, not a lot But we all know these things take time...

Refitted the Battery plate lower...Velco to help hold the Li-Po in place..



Test fit with 2200mAh Li-Po..



Found a Futaba Servo box in my Glider spares box ,
big enough to fit ESC and allow it the breath



Still have to work out what to do about the postes,
( Im needing a High Lift post bar for the body I have)



Side view will all leccy stuff fitted and ready to run..

WOW Sean ! This is looking amazing, I bet it would be better with some custom links . I know Calvin is working hard to get you running soon. It is my guess it will take longer for you to receive then for him to make.

i already tried that. not so much a bog, but muddy trails and puddles. damn good fun.. be careful as it wrecks bearings (wheels, trans, etc). luckily my receiver and motor survived.

Nice build Sean. i made some beef toobs out of stainless steel tube a while back as i stripped the threads on the aluminium ones i made. might be able to do some more sometime, will let you know.

im short of money this month, so the wraith axles and stuff are on hold. planning a new chassis anyway

Looking good Sean , nice to see a axle atleast in its general area LOL. Great way to utilize items all ready around (Servo mount). I can't wait to see more.
I know it is difficult to get parts, you may want to get a Lunsford drag link though. only for the purpose of its smaller diameter. You may have to either, space the existing drag link away from the pinion or put a small notch on the axle housing, to allow easy movement of the link.

Oh !!! I get you now...

In my photo it looks like the stock drag link is rubbing on the axle bell housing,, it's not... I got the dremel out and sorted that when doing the test fit..there's just enough clearance for it...

But a Lunsford drag link sounds good , where would I get one ?
not in my local hobby shop thats for sure...

Looking great mate !
