Hey watch your tone the Exceed links are just a little bigger than a 3mm set screw and they don't sell links that small and I don't know how to make longer links cause, and if I had the right longer links, and if cut them to fit, I can't drill and tap them cause I can't find all thread that small and it would bend pretty easy, even if I put tubing over the threads too thread into the 2 mm rod ends and I don't want to have glue them in so I need to look online and see what links I can find and if I add 3mm nuts it shortens the threads on the set screws, that thread into the links I will look at Axial they have threaded links in different lengths but there 6mm and maybe too thick I need to check it out when you get your Everest take a look at look and you will see what I mean Last edited by kgb424; 08-25-2015 at 07:40 PM. |

Hey Taco are you happy now I went to Home Depot and bought a bunch of 3mm nuts Then used the 3mm nuts to lengthen the upper links Now the axles are clocked And that changed the angle so Last edited by kgb424; 06-29-2016 at 03:04 PM. |

Yeah no the rod ends are threaded 3mm like normal so you use 3mm set screws but the hole in the rod end is 2mm and uses 2mm ball ends that are 2mm and threaded both 3mm and 2mm I have a bunch of rod ends that threaded 3mm and the hole is 3mm and uses 3mm ball ends and are different lengths to give me adjustment but I never could find any 2mm rod ends longer than the ones I got now, so there is little to no adjust ability so I made it work Last edited by kgb424; 08-25-2015 at 11:21 PM. |

Been too hot outside for welding... so I haven't finished the TJ's frame yet. No matter tho' as it is allowing me more time to reflect... and incorporate design altercations prior to it's finalization. Did add this lip to the upper windshield frame gutter... holds/locks the windshield firmly into it's upright position. Yet... will allow room for mounting the bi-mini top whence I make that. The gutter strip was cut from kydex and three screws secure it in position. simple, no drilling was required... well except thru the kydex. Goal here was... to simply offer a more finished transition (look) and keep the windshield in it's upright position. Was necessary due to the raising of the roll cage assembly. Should work swimmingly --------------- still waiting for the RedCat Everest to arrive... should be anytime or early next week. Then I can mount the quad body on that and call it good. ^ step 2 done before step 1 !? but I'm actually kind of excited about seeing the results of the Quad build Also purchased an HH BR/XL WP for the TJ. Just in case I wanna run that 6s powa' !? Will be purchasing an FS GT3-C for the radio business. Just looking for the best deal before I drop that coin. that's all for this update Last edited by TacoCrawler; 07-20-2023 at 04:12 PM. |

^I think your using this heat as an excuse to play with your boy doll and not weld. Just my .02 I like the lip idea but i would have 90'd it down to cover the cover the clear part of the windshield and screws. That way you would also have an overhead tray/box for a CB, Maps, a place for wiring of your Roof Lights (If your putting a light up there) etc. Looking forward to the rest and the Orange Quad. |

If I bent the windshield's gutter lip, to angle it down and hide the nuts... it might not leverage as well, against the under surface of the front roll bar hoop and so... I might have needed do more to keep the windshield in it's upright position. Well... at least getting that bend angle to it wouldn't be real easy and I'd have to come up with making a brake with my vise... the time an money spent... just isn't worth it to me. But your idea is sound and I do like it. just trying to keep things as simple as I can. Probably not going to get too minute with the detailing... CB's, map's, beer cans, etc. aren't real important for me. and so... will worry about that later and adjust accordingly. Seriously tho' ya can't really see the nuts unless you ignore everything else maybe I'll paint them orange or black.. or use a lower profile nut... or maybe a full width rear view mirror can hide them Possibly they'll be less noticeable then !? Or not... and I'll just ignore that they exist Last edited by TacoCrawler; 08-28-2015 at 07:40 PM. | |

| re: 1/6 Wraith/Nylint TJ Jeep + scale quad ...update.... haven't got much done as far as chassis construction... because... I've been busy searching/ordering components necessary for operational completion. That and printing micro "PowerTank" decals for Mike Lol/jk ~ too damn many Mikes around here to remember !? ~ :argh: Regardless of my divergence... I'm slowly obtaining the things I need to get this rig rolling. Just received an HH WP BR/XL ESC in the mail... tho' in like new condition... would be considered 2nd hand so I've got to test it to be sure it functions as it should. Besides the dean's plug being soldered on by the PO it was never run according to the PO. ^ so hopefully I will test it soon and find it in good order. Already have four 3s LiPo's wired parallel/combined they offer 4400 mah But I'll likely look at purchasing a single 6s with a similar mah (capacity). Purchased a new CC bec and I adjusted that to 7.4v using the their link. I'll be circumventing the BRXL's internal BEC Purchased a slightly used FS GT3-C seller's claim was... it was only used 3 times and is in like new condition. Hopefully the Everest16 shows up tomorrow too !? Next few days should be cooler... so hopefully I'll get some welding done. Still looking to purchase a fresh Solar D772 servo for steering duty and an axial 3 output light controller... but no hurry there as I have a usable servo for now and have spent plenty as of late ----------- yes Mike... yer steekers are in 'da mail, enroute Last edited by TacoCrawler; 09-01-2015 at 12:51 AM. |

Dell, Up until Pg4 your build thread was awesome and very enjoyable to read and see your progress. Now it is downright funny to read you two. Sad to see that your thread got a giant Sh#&T taking on it. | |

Dennis is a Menace, sometimes, would seem... but he's a nice guy even if it don't show. I Think he's just trying to be funny and razz me if he can. But he can't, 'cuz I really don't rattle that way I'm not gonna worry about it. Shortly I will be back in the flow and this build will be back in line. And I will be posting more pictures related to this build. Today I got my radio (GT3-C) in the mail and was able to test out the BRXL I purchased recently. Everything is working as it should running on 3s. Even drove the chassis around in a circle... Even tho' I drug the belly skid along the way. Lol So obtaining the necessary e components is done and I'm happy with the outcome Now it's time to finish welding up the frame mount the shocks and get it rolling ^ I have been busy fabricating some additions to the frame... so that is why it's not welded together yet. stay tuned... things will start moving shortly, in the right direction, once again. ------------------ Unfortunately I seemed to have purchased my Everest16 from the worst ebay seller ever And that has now become a hassle Already filed complaint with ebay... but now I gotta wait for the sellers response and opportunity for correction... before I can request my refund and purchase elsewhere. ^ so that's a slight setback for me. grrr ~ was really looking forward to it's arrival ~ | |

phase II frame build... (welded up, but lots more detail work to do) Also purchased some highly detailed 1/6 scale fuel cans... and they can be seen just to the right of the body. More detail on those... later. Last edited by TacoCrawler; 07-20-2023 at 04:17 PM. Reason: photobucket sucks |

Looking really good. Are the back and front risers for the shocks or are you making hoops? Details on the Fuel Cans please. * My second build bodies look so lonely in the background and waiting to be packaged. |
