|  770'team sidewinder replica on yokomo cl axles
hello , I started a tuber on a pair of yokomo cl 1.9 axles : the side panels are printed on photo paper and than hot plastic laminated to keep them waterproof the brass tubing is lightweight and won't have to support the links : I 'll make a U channel skid plate to mount them ans the radio      scaler set droop shocks :   the steering wheel is a from shock flyer   Last edited by SilverRidge; 03-29-2009 at 02:57 AM. |

What keeps your droop shocks from coming apart when extended? how do you like those yoko axles?? are they strong? |

the extremity of the inner tube is deformed to be wider ans fit the big tube inside Ø and once it's assembled the external tube is set to reduce the bottom Ø and the tube inside can't get out anymore without tools the brass tube is strong enough if you don't use too long sections without renforcements I've already made a pair of tubers like this and they never broke , remember it only have to support its weight and sometimes rollovers , all the linkage are mounted on the alloy skid for the tires the rc4wd rock crushers x/t 1.9 seem to be more scale but I've always heard the old rc4wd line up were hard like a bit of wood I didn't have run the yokomo axles enough to say if the gears are ok but the steering knuckles are for sure a weak point, they make aloy ones, the rest of the truck and axle housing seems fine most of the screw are mounted with threadlocker Last edited by SilverRidge; 03-29-2009 at 11:11 AM. | |
