i know i know im like hated in this forum, but i like to be different  thanks for the props, means alot coming from you...well im fixing to tear into my "new" axles, to figure what the grinding noise is, i took the rear (loudest) axle off the chassis at lunch, once i had the motor off it i could see white powder/chunks inside the casing, ie probly the gears ground to hell (although the spur apears to be perfect) so ill tear into the cases after work and find out what the problem is... |

well got her all fixed up. took the "rails" out for a test run. everything worked good. exept the springs are WAAAAY too stiff. they dont allow the axles to move hardly at all. and all my assosiated springs wont fits these MAXX shocks. and this OOOOOLD *** futaba esc its just not gonna work, its just isnt sensetive enough, not enough throttle position sensativity. it jumps from like non to way too fast, with no incriments inbetween. and it gets REEEALLY hot. but the springs/shocks are the first thing that needs attention... plenty of center clearance...  this is one of the FEW times the chassis actually articulated, most of the time the stiff springs kept the axles perfectly perpidecular to the chassis...  thats a 14" tall "wall" without touching the links...  |

tryed it, even that big heavy body doenst even phase those chuck wagon springs lol. the springs are SUPER heavy, and i took a spring off (too see if the assosiated springs would fit) and even with no spacers, the springs have about 1/2" of preload :( so that aint helping.

FINALLY finished it!!! switched to assosiated springs and cups, and added a brace up front to keep the rails from flexing like a torsion chassis. came out good. flex is ok for a scale rig... the magazine shot  Ken was a little to tall.... had to amputate both...poor guy...to his defence... he did'nt go under and took it like a man        |

Try taking off the newbright logos so it looks even more scale. I feel sorry for the driver though  |

Looks great, like R.U.B.B. without the driveshafts. Needs some rock rash, though What's the CG like? |
