here it is so far. built a upper tray for my electronics. spectrum radio system in the mail. along with a front axle servo mount. i traded out my old wk shocks for some traxxus big bore shocks. i also limited the travel internally about 10mm. you can tell the flex difference in the two bottom photos. first is the new shocks, last pic is with stock wk shocks. lemmie kno what you think.

Nice. How did you cut the chassis out? Looks really clean. I'm getting a set of big bore shocks too. What'd you use to limit them?

phase10 · 02-16-2008, 08:33 AM

i used some rubber hose from my lhs. i think its a gas line normally.

Offroader5 · 02-16-2008, 08:43 AM

Lookin' good. That looks a bit better on the flex...it's a bit more in check now

Have you thought about getting a different batt pack made for it? Those stick packs are so large and cumbersome to work with. You can pick up a very nice 2/3A Elite 1500 8 cell custom pack from Cheap Battery Packs for under $30. I bought numerous packs from Chris over there, and they are always top notch.

That looks great. Good job
What lower links and rod end are you using? I really like how it turned out and am in the process of getting everything together for mine. So if you could give me any info on what I will need it would help a ton. Thanks

Just go to "Packs"...then "Custom Packs". It then will ask you cell count, which cell you want, configuration, and wire size.

Cheap Battery Packs

phase10 · 02-17-2008, 04:21 PM

so i thought i was jsut kidding at first but i really couldnt wait till monday-tuesday when i real servo mount gets here. i made one out of my cutting board.

havin some problems where instead of flexing the axles just stay straight. i think my shocks are just too stiff. not sure what to do tho really.

phase10 · 02-17-2008, 04:34 PM

soo i recharged my battery and went out again and now my transmission is makin noises. not like everyone says its clicking. its more like. wawaawwawawawa. some wierd noises iuno. im geussing my gears are getting stripped? any ideas?

phase10 · 03-02-2008, 07:08 PM

just got some offset stampede rear wheels and some Proline Badlands, thought id take some pics. my width is about 10.5" instead of 11" now. haven't glued the tires yet i think imma get a set of Aces memory foam inserts. prolly do a channel cut down the middle also. im gonna have to get a new servo mount now that i got the offset wheels tho.. any advice lemmie kno..

sourdojack · 03-02-2008, 08:26 PM

On those stampede wheels you can easily cut the inside ring off, file it down, and narrow the wheels 1/4". That should give you the clearance from your servo mount and also make those badlands work a little better.

Here is the link on how to Narrow those Stampede wheels...
