Re: One messed up rig :) You bought one of those body's? I've seen them on ebay but it just wasn't my thing. |
Re: One messed up rig :) I like it! Keep up the good work.. can't wait to see pics of it on the rocks! |
Re: One messed up rig :) Its taking shape as fitted the steering servo (full size) tonight, but need to make a custom link for the servo to wheel hub. before servo... http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0105.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0106.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0107.jpg after fitting... http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0114.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0108.jpg ditched the rear as didn't like it http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0109.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0110.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0111.jpg gonna be running stick packs as got alot of them from my drifters http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0112.jpg interior, but again im not a fan http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0113.jpg and the all important flex shots :) http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0115.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0116.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...9/IMG_0117.jpg I will be building a new rear similar to the one I removed but more in scale with the cab :) |
Re: One messed up rig :) Man that cab looks rough! :shock: |
Re: One messed up rig :) I am looking forward to getting out on the trial with this rig. Im waiting on parts so looking 2-4 weeks before it gets a proper run, although ganna try in my room in 4-5 days just to see if she is all true and not crabbing. Gonna be great, especially when I get my girlfriends Tamiya CC01 with new bright range rover shell running again (its ESC almost caught fire last run it had :( ) |
Re: One messed up rig :) here is some of it tonight :) http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...93220971_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...05774706_n.jpg http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...60928922_n.jpg http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...93707453_n.jpg http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...40624421_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...96733975_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...85440822_n.jpg http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...65682237_n.jpg this is now going to be the rear. OK it will be modded quite a bit and will sit lower and right up close with the cab and the fenders moved backwards. http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...98328156_n.jpg What do you all think? |
Re: One messed up rig :) What an awesome looking rig! Thanks for keeping us posted... Cheers Todd |
Re: One messed up rig :) I like the scale tires! Looks good.. pics look sweet |
Re: One messed up rig :) The tyres with white text on them are NOT going to be used, Im using the ones on other side just not done all 4 yet, lol OK so was mocking a card tail, but think plans may have changed since last night lol.... http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...psedf6c8c9.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps67aa1842.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps730b1e75.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...psb5a773f5.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...psbf133e45.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...psd7f31c40.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps1a349c80.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps85f6702c.jpg But got a good idea from brother so may explore that instead. something like this http://lh4.ggpht.com/djysrv/SOlOAD8u...uck%5B4%5D.jpg |
Re: One messed up rig :) Cool build! |
Re: One messed up rig :) ok so here we are think need to make long mounts for rear as this bed leans like the side of a cliff! http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...46309821_n.jpg Flex shots :) http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...70837021_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...41478570_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...76839366_n.jpg still quite a bit to do yet though...... |
Re: One messed up rig :) oh wow you bought that? nice truck looks very cool. that guy is a ripoff. wouldnt buy anything else from him if i were you, but like i said nice rig!!"thumbsup" I like the new bed for sure! |
Re: One messed up rig :) it was quite expensive yes, but my girlfriend gave me half so was not too bad in end. she says if you want it have it then your happy lol. Its coming on photos soon of temp rear bed to get it running until i sort the bed out :) |
Re: One messed up rig :) here it is I got the radio tray fitted :) http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...33880057_n.jpg http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...71525480_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...16517398_n.jpg here is two of my rigs :) http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...06095666_n.jpg thats rear box is temp guys so dont worry I just wanna try out the rig before I go too far with detailing :) |
Re: One messed up rig :) ok so it got a run tonite :) "messed up" first run - YouTube Still working on it as you can see the steering good one way but not other. Working on custom link as it fauls servo body hence bad one way but good the other :) |
Re: One messed up rig :) Sorted the steering after it was good one way but not the other, i put link arm on other side and its now great :) http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...04750013_n.jpg http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...47114887_n.jpg She is almost ready for a run, need glue tyres on. Think I need two springs on each rear shock or twin rear shocks as weight of battery is preventing it from self leveling after flexing :( |
Re: One messed up rig :) tried this.... http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...61333810_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...66816413_n.jpg Twin spring on rear shocks. Well it helps it return after a flex but it don't flex on the rear now unless I push it by hand :( Think battery is too heavy :( Not sure what other shocks or springs I can fit.... can anyone help? |
Re: One messed up rig :) Maybe a lipo battery? The one i see you using is a BIG and heavy pack. |
Re: One messed up rig :) True they are big and heavy but I got ten of them from my drifters. My ESC is not lipo ready, plus I dont have funds for a few lipos and charger, not at moment anyway. Think Im gonna have to put up with a rear that will not self level for a bit until I can afford a lipo setup. |
