[CyberFox]

which motor turns and pinion gear do you use on it ?

[alexleblanc]

would you be an absolute gentleman and shoot a small video at some point so I can hear it? maybe I'm just nutty but its nowhere near as quiet as anything else that I run.

That is the plan, this weekend coming up is supposed to be a bit warmer so I will get it out for a video.

Any idea what spur gears will fit this? I have mine rolling but need a steel spur before I can run it.

[doodahoops]

Here's mine. Have extended the wheel base using the 5mm spacers with the kit.



So far only been out for a quick test run. Lots of torque twist. Not overly noisy. 18T spur with a 35T motor.



Next week will be able to compare against my sons SCX10.



Will be changing the wheels and tyres - think these ones are a little too tall.



And then will add an interior eventually as well and a rear bumper when I work out how as the body extends quite away.

really ?
I though transmission of the car with many gears was made to avoid this ?

The old stiff drivers left rear spring will take care of that twist. That's all we had in the old days. I usually run a stiffer rear spring on both shocks with my builds. If needed add a bit more preload to the rear drivers.

Doodahoops, that looks fantastic! I agree little smaller tires and some beadlocks! Try moving rear upper links at chassis up about 1/2" and maybe forward a little...one change at a time, make some aluminum brackets should help with TT.

jlkilburn, you didn't crawl, the last week-end ?

[alexleblanc]

I can't say that I noticed much torque twist with mine. I'm running an 18T Pinion with a 35T motor. I need to post some pictures for my finished build tonight in my build thread - too much work travel lately.

[doodahoops]

Got my beadlocks and pitbull mad beasts... just offering them up and the beadlocks have a 40mm internal diameter at the rear so the beadlock screws foul on the portals.



The kit wheels are 45mm.



I don't want to put wheel wideners on so can any one recommend beadlock wheels that have 45mm diameter at the rear...

Thanks

[hotwheels000]

I would think any beadlock that doesnt have a inner beadlock ring should work. Vanquish(methods and omf come to mind)and rc4wd (wagon wheels)both offer these,I am sure there are many others.

[fr8cture]

SSD does aswell.

G-Made 1.9's fit with no issues too

did you test your car ?
You don't give any more news

[jrkilburn]

It's running and has a few scale miles on it. The body is in progress for it, waiting for a day off and the weather to cooperate to paint it up. I have no complaints thus far other than wanting a CMS on it. After Motorama I plan to do more with it and design that CMS we all need for it.

Motorama is over, time to get serious on this again after seeing Mr. Asia Tees himself' stunning example at the event. Super smooth!

Test drove one of these recently. I wondered about fitting the c hubs on the 10.2. Good to know they fit.
