| Purchased a rig that's all jacked up
So like the title says, I recently purchased a mrc off a friend he had bought off someone blah blah blah. The thing is it's basically a slim chassis with links off a scx10, no spare parts and just all around wrong. I purchased the y links only to find that my chassis is too slim. I've seen plenty of custom chassis on line but can't seem to find anything for sale. Any help would be appreciated

If you wait a little while there will be some new ones out soon... if you look up Dravpnir's MRC build I believe his chassis will be available soon |

The reason I posted that link is because it comes with the servo plates for the front and rear with all the links because like I said this rig has none of the original links and at the moment I don't have a way to fab anything. I'll post pics tomorrow

Make some of your own. I got some delrin from CKRC a while back before they changed owners. It was a 2.5-ish mm inner diameter and a 1/4 or 3/16 outer if I remember correctly. You could always just buy some delrin rod and then drill it yourself too. I chose delrin because it cut real easy and cleaned up easily too with just a dremel.

It isn't hard to make your own links. You can use these items to make it besides a vise, saw and sandpaper to clean the ends: Threaded rod inside (stiffer) McMaster-Carr Delrin tube. 4MM is .158" so it is a little bit of a tight fit but if your patient you should get the material to thread in McMaster-Carr stiff rod McMaster-Carr less stiff rod Using threaded rod ends (less stiff but lighter) McMaster-Carr the tube has a small ID that can easily be tapped to M3. I did this once on a job to save time and it worked great although the outside of the material IS a little bigger but that is no biggie. threaded studs (you supply those) McMaster-Carr M3 tap. Treat this guy nice and it will last an eternity. Don't go with cheap taps... they are a nightmare It isn't the most convenient to make your own links at first but once you learn it is pretty easy to do and in the end if your links aren't perfect you can adjust by threading/unthreading the rod ends! |

If you're ok with a 3d printed skid (I have been running 3d printed skids on my own mini's and micro's for over a year now without issue), I have everything else still in stock to put together a full brand new mini wedge low pro kit BW |

If you end up making links, I can get you the measurements. I run a bone stock pro ( except bent lower links) and a scratch built scale 1985 bronco based on mrc-pro running gear. I may have some unused stock links around as well. Scott Last edited by sgl; 12-19-2014 at 08:28 AM. |
