well it looks like a work in progress so far. doubt he has nailed down any certain specs yet since he will be going to a bigger tire and other stuff. from the pics, he doesn't even have the Revos' in yet. just from the looks, i would say around a 16" WB

how did you attach your servo plate/ upper link mount to the axle? im brainstorming before i hook mine up, and your way looks much cleaner than what i was going to try. could i get a close pic?

John, I just got off the phone with Kris.. his only comp right now is at work. He explained what he did to me, but I'll let him explain it

the WB is set at 15 1/2" and RTR it weighs in at 6.5lbs i believe

thats seems awful light! with batteries?? i think i might have found a good way to make a servo plate, but i would like to see his idea too.

i have read every thread in this subforum and it looks really similar to another that i saw. dont remember the poster.

Here ya go...you have to turn the collars that the original "torsion bars" are were attached to, and drill the axle tube so you can lock the collar back to the axle...then using some 1/2"x1/2" angle alum. just cut a notch it to form a little shelf and screw a piece of flat alum. to it...as for your upper link mount, if you haven't thrown away the torsion bars, cut them down to make you upper link mount..

And yes.....That 6.5lbs IS with batteries installed

I was trying to get it as light as possible...I was VERY when the scales read 6.5lbs

Hope this helps!!!!

WB--15 1/2"
diff--2"
center--5 1/4"
weight-- 6 1/2lb
width--15"outside tire
aside from the chassis the only other special mod is the clocked motor mount plate..

cool. that helps me out a lot. now i just have to decide what method i am going to go with. it needs to be strong because my twin is gonna be faster than a crawler, but used around places with lots of slope changes.

have you had any problems with the pede sliders for a driveshaft yet? I just ordered for the revo units for mine since it is so heavy (14 lbs)... I hope they are strong enough.
