It doesn't really screw anything up as the shock just moved up about half an inch and didn't really move side to side. I'll snap a few pics Sunday to show you what is going on with them.

Yes, there will be a cross piece in front of the windshield at the roof and the cowl panel; it will bolt in just like Shelly.

I want one too. That thing is sweet

The progress your making for the number of days is incredible

And when one of us old fogeys tells you kids never to braze naked here is why. I was not paying attention and some of the heated flux dripped off of my rod and made contact with a knee. The skin vaporized leaving the fat exposed

It moves! I just hooked up my electronics and such took it for a spin and it feels pretty good. The steering is going to be the biggest issue if this thing is going to fly but one battle at a time

666, do you have a stock Maxx slipper assembly? It presented a clearance issue with the rear cross member and while the member can be ground down it will require a different link setup.

Moves?

Issues? Steering? FLY?

I have a slipper somewhere, if Jason does not require my assistance tomorrow I will get it to you.

Pics?

I'll snap a few real quick....

There is a little bit of a gap here but the motor cans (My tranny with lathes) are against the seats.

I snagged the carrier bearing from Shelly and I will use these shafts to cut yours to length.

I also snagged the transmission mount plates from Shelly since I am out of good steel. The plate on the passenger side is larger to accommodate a future mount of a servo for shifting.

If you cannot come over Tuesday don't worry. I will be working this afternoon to prep your axles, mount tires etc so you can pick it up and be ready to hit the ground running

Haha, nice!
I'm sure there is going to be LOTS of wrenching going on at the condo.

Yours, duh

Did you get your servos?

666 · 09-05-2007, 07:33 PM

I have one servo, that I got at Hobbytown. A Hitec 805, that should do steering for now.

I have a bunch of crap I need to do and I will be working on it hopefully tonight and tomorrow, then leaving for Moab Friday morning!!

Did I lose the hood or you have it?

It is here on my desk, so it will be coming with me. Please excuse my now non existent brain but did I ever get measurements to you for the rear links? There is way too much going on right now

666 · 09-05-2007, 07:46 PM

I'm sure I can figure it out, pics soon!!!

OH THANKS SLUGZ!!

slugzracing · 09-05-2007, 10:00 PM
