This is the only other part the showed up today, everything else has been in Opalocka since Saturday

This motor mount is nicer in person than I had imagined. Another quality product from BWD

My problem is just the opposite Dicky. I have TONS of parts at home. It's me that can't get to them. So technically it's the mail at home waiting on me. Work keeps me away months at a time. I spend a lot of time on here living vicariously through everybody else's builds.

Thank you sir

My zero ackerman knuckles showed up today so I ground them down a little and got as much steering as I am comfortable putting these tiny cvd's though. A little steering servo upgrade too!









Added MIP center shafts too:




I need to clean the wiring up, but it runs. A few goodies still need to get here though.

Looks great DT. What are you using for a drag link?

That is 8-32 all-thread sheathed in aluminum. It is temporary. I have the shape I need now and the eye to eye. I'f going to try something today, if that fails I'll order lunsford links when I get paid again.. I just dropped a lot of coin between this thing and the berg.

[DickyT]

I think I'll be sticking with this.

I like that , Good job

That drag link is out...standing. I can't tell but did you grind down the axle tabs to get the servo lower? Also what Chubs are you running with what would appear to be aluminum LCC knuckles? Finally are you planning to be running the lcc axle stubs with what again appears to be LCC knuckles?

Enough with the 50 questions by me. Great looking rig.

[Robotboy]

Great job DT That's exactly how I have mine but
useing the RCBros link.

Liking that cabon fiber steering arm! What kind of performance do you get with your axles clocked that much?

They are losi aluminum MRC chubs and losi zero ackerman MRC knuckles, I do no plan on changing them, the dlux weights I am waiting on will bolt right up to them. I have not lowered the servo, If I do now I will have to redo the drag link. so it will stay.

Thanks, I am really starting to enjoy this thing.

The benefit from the negative caster is steering while on an incline, and better steering over all. The axle is not clocked, I clocked the chubs by grinding the axle housings and drilling new holes for them.


I still have a few goodies coming for it, but it is all set for the new items. I have put 4 packs through it between traction board and parking stops..

Looks great! Have you thought about ditching the BEC, or are you running 3s? Kinda hard to tell in the pics. Also did I understand that right? Is D Lux releasing another knuckle weight style for the MRC?

It actually Positive Caster when the knuckle is laid back at the top

I keep the BEC so I have the option to run 3s, Erik has had weights for the MRC for a while now. They have just been out of stock. He should have them in next week again though

I always get that stuff confused.. There is a reason we had that 1st local group name that can no longer be spoken.... When I had my accident my noggin was rattled pretty good, a little permanent damage there too...

Thanks for the illustration!

I looked loser at the pictures. I see what you are talking about. Very nice steering setup!
