norcrawler · 07-23-2008, 05:16 PM

but a zip tie and shoegoo

im not sure how x faxtor knuckles are but not sure if it will work with 40 series.these wheels have a pretty nice offset to them and i had to trim the a arms up a bit.its a tight fit tho.
just try it to see if it would work.
ive never seen batts on a maxx like this,lol so thats why i did it

One thing to consider would be save up and invest in some good strong servos, something with 250+oz/in of torque, preferably 300+. Nothing sucks more than having a nice rig when you can't make it turn.

dude. i know. lol
i thought these 645's would do it but i guess not. the rear isnt that bad but the front isnts so good cause of the batts i think and star foams
im just gonna do it big and get a 1/4 scale mack daddy hs-805bb

lol i think it will fit right on the a arm there.
lol 343 oz. compared to this 133.
anyone wanna buy a hs645?lol
barley even used the thing

What's the blue stuff on the shocks? are those balloons for water proofing or something??

norcrawler · 07-24-2008, 02:34 PM

ya,lol there just blue water balloons for like dust n shit.idk.lol

hey u guys think i could put some like 80 wt or 100 wt in those shocks and it would work good?

norcrawler · 07-25-2008, 03:50 PM

somethin to slap this thing on casue there was like no room anywhere else,lol

BritCrawler · 07-25-2008, 04:18 PM

that tube chassis looks the works, man, in fact the whole rig look pretty tight. It amazes me the lengths you Super guys will go to to get ALL you weight down by the wheels

norcrawler · 07-25-2008, 05:44 PM

those batteries weigh alot.lol they make nice wheels weights too.
the weight diffrence between the front axle and rear is huge.
but when this thing hooks over a ledge or sumthin it pulls right up

Master Basher · 07-27-2008, 07:41 PM

Man that is super sweet, and unique too. I don't think I've seen anything close to it before.

One comment, and one question; I love the fact that it is indy suspension, you hardly ever see that anymore, but how does the steering linkage work with that? Does it bind up or limit travel?

Great pics too.

--did'ja consider just making two links from the servo, one to each knuckle, instead of making the cross from knuckle to knuckle? Seems like that might've made for less suspension limitations.

norcrawler · 07-29-2008, 08:54 AM

its not independent.lol
there locked out by the back
