I only see three tires touching in that last pic

Looks good so far. You going to do a gear reduction unit on it? I started a venom project, but I am debating whether I want to keep it going or not. How'd you mod. the steering servo?

looks good, are you going to cut the tires?

frontie · 04-13-2005, 10:58 PM

PWT's... I mounted the stocko servo on the axle useing bloody safty glass arms and did it work or what.. rock solid... i can get a better pics for ya later if ya like...

And Magic... i will be making some new hex's up to take bigger offset rims may be 2.2 rims and some bigger rubber..

Yer i will be doin a gear reduction next month.. and puting in a 370 ro 380 motor..

Hey frontie, just use some normal hexes from a touring car and mod those. Much easier. That's what I did.

If you want some nice rubber, check this out:

3" tall, so not too tall, not too short.

EDIT: pic was way too big

any one got a pic of what a normal touring car hex looks like lol
and whats the inside like

The axle shaft of the vmg is a 4mm diameter shaft with a flat spot ground down on it. Since all the touring car shafts are 4mm as well, these things slide on real easily. You could also mod the shaft with a hole and slip a pin through it and slip the hex down on there. Just have a steady hand and make sure to get it centered.
