hey everyone im new to the mrc scene but here is my start ... metal lockers, removed battery tray, relocated shocks to frame, metal knuckels, have 4ws for it but waiting on servo, bent lower links, custom steering setup, lowered body some ... tell me what you think

andrwplsn · 07-13-2009, 07:55 AM

your steering setup is insane, i like it.

losiminicrawler · 07-13-2009, 01:27 PM

looks good. Looks like your tires are getting worn down.

, the cleanest modded MRc ive seen in months

JeepinOR · 08-08-2009, 06:02 PM

Welcome.
You made that stock link work for you! Twisted.

Great job on the mods.
If you get bored, you could make four link plates for the axles; and links, for the new plates, of course. If you've a few local resources, you can fairly easily do it.

Mr. Ed · 08-08-2009, 08:42 PM

It's cool to see the original set up and progress through the mods! Love the steering can you post up some more detailed pictures of the steering so we can steal yer idea

rickysb · 08-09-2009, 01:20 PM

ya i will post some better pics of the steering when i get back home... upgraded a couple more things, finally got my hitec 645 back and installed, added some weight, got some axial beadlocks, some rock basher tires and losi threaded aluminum shocks

gottorque · 08-12-2009, 01:19 PM

how did you bend your link for the steering arm. i am setting the steering like yours and i was trying to bend the link and it broke.

fernando · 08-12-2009, 04:13 PM

rickysb · 08-12-2009, 09:40 PM

That's the way to do it

how are you liking the Bashers? i'm trying to decide between them and the Chisels.

Also What wheels are you using in that last pic with the bashers?

rickysb · 08-12-2009, 10:04 PM

i like the bashers so far .... running the axial beadlocks, got them from performance rc in CDA

gottorque · 08-12-2009, 10:10 PM

oh thats how you did it . i ended up bending mine by hand. cause my torch was not working

rickysb · 08-12-2009, 11:16 PM

well here are a couple hopefull better shots for everyone ....

1. first what i did was took the knuckles and flipped them 180 deg. ( may have to swap sides like i did with the metal knuckles )
2. then i put the stock steering link on the bottom so that i has clearence from the shocks and pumpkin, (you will need to source out some longer screws if you plan to use the plastic knuckles i ran a screw from bottom all way through steering arm with nut on top )
3. i made a servo mount so that the servo sits backward
4. took a stock link bar and well eye balled where i wanted the bends and just put it into a vice and tapped it with a hammer till the bends were how i wanted them ( took out and held up to truck so that bends didnt go too far)
5. installed everything and to my suprise it worked

sorry its not to much info i just kind of created it off the top of my head any questions just ask
