I did some trading around and now the old cutting board chassis is gone, now it sports a xtrail chassis with axial tranny, novak rooster with 55t novak motor, unknown shocks, I figured out a way to mount the electronics and battery, still trying to figure out a front bumper and if i wanna use the Walker Evans 1.9s or stay with the 2.2

Those are Traxxas Ultra shocks. Look like front length.

Thanks. I wasn't sure. Now I can try different spring setups.


I also got the servo mounted up on the chassis. Electronics and battery mounted, front brace bars and bumper mounted on the frame reworked the upper 4link setup. Gotta few more things to do, inner fender wells, gonna make some 4.7 inch tall ripsaws and tidy up the wires before it our next trail ride on the 22nd

[King James]

Threw some Rc4wd boggers on it, looks better with some bigger tires, gotta get a set of beadlocks for these, not sure if they will stay on it, im gonna build some taller ripsaws for it

[King James]

got a little more wheelspeed by putting in a new 27t axial motor and got a little testing done in the backyard

I really like the size and look of the boggers.
Keep it up.

Thanks man. I've had this truck for almost three years now and its still my favorite. It blows people away how well it does and it just keeps getting better.

This is what Matt at Ironworks is working on for me. Some 4.7 inch ripsaws

[King James]

im picking up my custom ripsaws tomorrow and ive aquired a set of 1.9 rc4wd steelies to mount them on I think its gonna be a sweet combo ill post pics once i get them mounted

[King James]

[King James]

well I got the tires mounted on the steelies What a pain, took almost 3 hours, i also found a spare steelie my 5th tire, I swapped shocks with my raptor, so this now sits a 1/4 inch higher, gave it the stance i was looking for
overall ive very pleased with the setup

[King James]

cleaned up the sidewalls of the Ironworks 4.7 ripsaws

[King James]
