Here's my next project. Tube chassis 1/4" brake line, silver solder, & stress. I have trouble with patience. The axles are shortend for cvd shafts.    Need to figure out my links now. Last edited by Reflection; 09-25-2008 at 07:16 PM. Reason: fixed so it's easier to read |

That looks good. You're to hard on yourself. For a handicap, it looks great  |

I edited your post so it's easier to read.  Looks like a cool build. I like the low profile cab section.  |

Got my links all done. Rear shocks are where I want them. The front I'm having some trouble the tire rubs hard when I flex it. I have the drive shafts in now not pictured yet. One servo mount done also. The big question is where to put the electronics.    I'll try to get the other pictures when I can Last edited by MAKKEM; 10-28-2008 at 06:09 PM. |

You also narrowed the axles and now running short CV's. Also cut a custom trany shaft to get the drive shafts to line up better with the suspension linkage.

| finally have it besides some minor tweeking.    Ran it at Barts gtg last week end scratched it up a little and gave it caracter. Changed from a traxxes remote to a mx3 no more glitching and the receiver is much smaller. Also took out my rooster replaced with fxr mostly for size. Very happy with the results.

Oh yah she's a runner. Made one climb I couldn't get. Now I am going to chop down my width like Raptorman said I should and clean house this summer MAKKEM's gonna do something about that articulation too. Just haven't figured out what. Maybe limit the travel?
