| Re: Papabash's BWD 'Low-Pro' Wedge Build Nice build, which bolt fits the Axial rod ends, is it the tiny one for the lower links or the larger one for the chassis side of the Y link?

Now that Christmas is over, I finally had some time to get back in the shop and get some more work done on this. Spent some time on my practice course, and I think I have it dialed in about as good as it's gonna get. I am really impressed with how well this thing handles; it will definitely be my primary comp rig. Anyway, I shortened some of the wiring, relocated some of the electronics, and cleaned everything up a bit. Also took out the BEC and ran the servo directly to the battery. Got my aluminum servo arm installed, and made a new drag link. I didn't trust the plastic one to hold up to 403 oz of torque... Last edited by papabash; 09-17-2017 at 07:06 AM. |

Got some body panels made and painted. Nothing fancy yet, just some practice panels. I'll make nice ones when I have more time. Last edited by papabash; 09-17-2017 at 07:08 AM. |

Crap!!! When you are all finished up with this thing, strap a 5 pound weight on top so I have a fighting chance! Good looking rig by the way |

Thanks guys (and gal), I appreciate the compliments! Ummmm, sorry, but no-can-do on the 5lb weight, Tommy, I'm pretty sure it would put my rig over the legal height limit. |

BTW, great looking rig. And I was thinking a 7955 would be overkill...... | |

Got a little bling in the mail today... some VP Incision Servo Armor bling, that is. Was gonna make my own but decided there was no way I could make one this lightweight. It is truly a work of art! Last edited by papabash; 09-17-2017 at 07:09 AM. |

Dave, Great job on the rig, it turned out really nice . I can't wait to see it at the upcoming comp. Currently what is the front and rear width of the rig? |
