I do. But the motor is jacked up.
It stalls out all the time and needs a push... I think the timing is off and there's no mark on the can to set it... that I know of.

I'm actually buying a new motor for it Monday.

Ho many shafty rigs are running?

I'm out for Sunday. But I thought we'd scheduled for Potawatami for the 07/14 event. 20th was open for those going to the G6, and then 28th is Foster.

There still is not a course at Pottawatomie that I know of... there's a cool creek trail but I think it'd be tough to set up gates.

[johnnyh66]

So it's Robert, Gary, me and... Lobo maybe?
Not really enough for a comp.

parts just got here for SHOW. Time to get busy, going with different tires from irok super swamper (to much flex) to m t baja claw that seem to be much stiffer. will check into better inserts. Show is running a 12t pinion and seems to be slow and I know that I have a new 12, 13, & 14t Pinion by team associated for my pro 4 - 5mm that I got from RPP and can't find them flunkers anywhere. I looked and looked driving me crazy, dropped in a 18t smallest I have.

What motor are you running ? I run the Novak mongoose system in mine. I have 2 extra Holmes hobby mini torque masters thinking about trying to make one a massive winch.

well, theyre welded...



they woulda looked alot better had i just tacked the mounts on in a discreet place and then brazed the rest like i had planned... but they are sturdy and straight.

[talmond]

What axles are those ? They look super beefey

Yeah, I'd say they're stuck on there pretty good. You could still take a carbide burr and clean them up and then braze them and it'll look like they were just brazed. I mean, if you want to spend the time on them but, that'll function as is.. Ya know.. Cause you're in a time crunch.

Edit: those are GCM60's. Generis center sections and GripFab AR60 SS Tubes & Mounts. I only put together 3 sets of those back when but, now GCM offers an aluminum version.

[badhoopty]

i can definitely grind them down and fill around them with harris.

they dont bug me that much at this point to work on them any more, gonna weld on a phb mount and call them good for now. they are solid and straight and freaking badass.

[swezy207]

I could never live in the city... It just took me like 15 minutes to get across town (Morris) and I'm about to lose it!

[johnnyh66]

lol, It takes me an hour on the L to travel about 13 miles!

phb is mounted. tempted to put a rear phb and chassis mounted servo and make it 4ws... but this will work for august.



i should just start a build thread.

[johnnyh66]
