lt dan, if your still looking for shocks w/ balls on both ends, integy makes a set for the t maxx. check out integy.com, they are on the third page of t maxx stuff.

Thanks sods I'll check them out.

So, I'm going to have to cut the **** out of this body to make it work. Do you think it will look dumb all hacked up?

TLTCrawlin · 01-28-2006, 11:48 PM

TOo nice to hack, what size body is that? its kind small how long?

AdamF · 01-29-2006, 12:20 AM

I think it would look good with the bed chopped off and some sort of flatbed or tubed rear

BLK6.0HD · 01-29-2006, 01:14 AM

A tube rear section and chopped front fenders would look good. Maybe put a exo on it.

Lt. Dan · 01-29-2006, 09:24 PM

Well I'm not going to use the Ram body, it's not long enough. I'm going with a 1:10 lexan body like the Rock Pleazer or something. I changed the suspension back to long shocks but I side mounted them to the stock Nylint shock mounting position. I needed a little more flex than I was getting with the MLST shocks and now I have maybe too much. Here's a few pics of the new setup:

After a tough 10min at the LHS I decided to go with the HPI Bronco.
I'm almost finished with the body mounts and still have minor trimming and decals left to do.

Here's a couple mock-up pics:

Thanks Del Monte!

Btw, I'm not leaving those body posts long like in the pics. I forgot to cut them down before the pics were taken.

love the faberware idea,looks like it would be a lot easier to fab with than aluminum. won't stick on the rocks as much either. i wish i could find a sheet big enough to use as a skid plate on my 1:1. any ideas?

youre rig looks great, very clean fab work. i've watched a couple of your other threads and buildups and got some ideas from you. keep up the great work and lets
see some pics of your bronco gettin dirty.

Lt. Dan · 02-09-2006, 04:03 PM

Here's some new mods and updated pics. Now I just need a far better servo and warmer weather.

New and improved servo mount:

Braced the chassis with aluminum:

New body and posts:

Front Pede shocks w/Losi MLST springs:

I will take that servo off of your hands!

Del Monte · 02-09-2006, 05:36 PM

What battery pack are you running, and what kind of run times are you getting out of it?

low_range · 02-09-2006, 06:07 PM

i have the same servo; it sucks for 2.2s Got a bigger one coming to replace it.
Why is the tread on your Moabs different than mine?? (pic)

The battery pack I'm using is a GP1100 6cell stick pack lots of power and 1/2hour+ run time. I'm going to try the same cells but in a 7cell.

I guess Proline messed up or something, yours are probably the normal ones.

getbent · 02-10-2006, 07:45 PM

i am thinking of running 7 cells in my tuber so if you try it first let me know what you think.

Lt. Dan · 02-11-2006, 06:37 PM

I got a Traxxas 2055 high torque servo today from the lhs for $24. I beat the crap out of it and it's a huge improvement compared to the Futaba.:-P

Lt. Dan · 02-26-2006, 06:21 AM

Sorry, I deleted alot of pics that went with this thread, but I fixed them this morning.
