re: Barbaric
 

Building some Kyosho velvets for this, any thoughts on oil and springs?

re: Barbaric
 

Welcome. The Barbarian MTs are so muck fun, and handle great with the sways.

ahhh, Velvets....

re: Barbaric
 

Anyone know of any hardened or atleast stronger than the cast Axial and HPI spider gears for running open diffs? I didn't have good luck with the HPI gears in the front of my Yeti so I don't have high hopes for them in a MT.

Digger please...
 

I tried open diff and took em out but I didn't race just bash. I ran HD stock ratios f/r and had no issues beating on the truck with 3s and a 4000kv motor. Or may stock up front and under out back.

re: Barbaric
 

Was thinking stock front and UD rear as well. I am building this to race and with the hairpin U turns at the end of the straight aways I'm thinking open will be the way to go.

Digger please...
 

I assume some spinny gears would be in order then.

I toy'd around with my spider gears and put them in the rear only. Was funky to get used but I surprised with the results.

re: Barbaric
 

Yeah I'm sure some testing and experamenting will be in order, if only parts would start rolling in so I can get started. The Dlux modded housings are the only parts that have showed up yet, they are well done very pleased.

re: Barbaric
 

Supposedly the redcat gears are hardened .

re: Barbaric
 

The ring and pinions are hardened and described as such, the spider gears are not described as hardened and look like the same cast potmetal as the other options.

re: Barbaric
 

Really looking forward to this build! Let us know how long those CPE parts take to come in. I was thinking of the same sort of project after I recover financially from my wedding. ;)

Thanks,
Steve

re: Barbaric
 

After looking at his FB page I think he may have been out of town when I ordered. Thanks for looking!

re: Barbaric
 

Yeah, his web site is now showing "out of stock" on the chassis.

re: Barbaric
 

I'm sure he will have more soon, they seem to be the hot ticket.

re: Barbaric
 

I'd never seen one of these until I saw this thread. Really curious to hear what you think of it when it's completed.

re: Barbaric
 

Hmm...

re: Barbaric
 

Did you get it ? I knew they'd become available after I bought something else ...

re: Barbaric
 

Im suddenly flashing back to Erector sets .... :mrgreen:

re: Barbaric
 

Sway bar setup doesn't look ideal but the rest is aight.

re: Barbaric
 

He has a few available, I couldn't resist. :oops:

Erector sets were fun!

I'm not sure, I just love the look and they seem to be heavily sought after, a few popped up so I took a chance on it...
