I have gotten rid of the angled front on both Drag rigs...as well as my Slash basher. It created body mounting differences...and the made offerings are just bulky and heavy. The printed parts help to drop weight and maintain mounting positions. This ride was supposed to be a "budget" ride. I kinda failed. LOL. Sent from my SM-T970 using Tapatalk | |

They look great! Just started drag racing myself this season....it's been interesting. Never knew how hard it would be just to go in a straight line. Once you do though...nailing a solid pass is just so damn satisfying. |

How does one keep a vehicle with zero degrees of caster moving in a straight line? Smaller caster angles make for more responsive steering, but at the cost of the vehicle wanting to wander.

Dropped the new Hobbywing Xr8 Pro into this ride... So much stouter than the XR8 SCT. The programming options are also much better for drag racing. Even ordered a 2nd for my Nova build. These are going to be HOT for drag racing.... So I figured to grab both early before nobody has stock. Once word gets out on these, they will disappear. Also starting work on a case for building my own Cap Pack for both cars. I just cannot swallow ordering a $40+shipping pack with no connector when I can build a pack for < $15 that fits where I need it and I can print a housing that is super light and protects it. Caps should be here Tuesday and I have a CAD drawing ready to adjust based on final dimensions. I printed the bottom 1/3 of the case to use as the adjustable model. Excited to make adjustments and show the results. If it all comes together, I will share the stl files. Xirtic |

I put a DRC Zero in my TARP Traxxas based kit and used the TARP Front shock tower, bolted right up. Just sets up off the bulkhead a little bit where the DRC sets on the bulkhead. No Issues there. FYI, its Backyard RC, not Barnyard. I've been busy on my NP Rigs. 3 of them now. lol All have the DRC Zero * Bulkhead in them. If you're looking for Ceramic bearings for your rigs, the ceramics hybrids Justin sells are some very smooth rolling bearings and the $ is good. Think he is asking 48.00 for a full set of Cermics for a Slash/Bandit based NP. 35 for the drivetrain I think it is less the spur gear bearing. He has DR10 kits also. Just waiting for my Alpha Body (the Vega) to show up from the 2nd rnd of Pre Orders. | |

Looking good on the rigs. Scrappy looks like he's ready to Throw Down! lol I, like you, failed in my current attempt to do a budget build for the 13.5 Super Street Class on a LCG Chassis. Will end up being around the 900-1000 mark. I guess that's a Budget build. I have 2 large into the TARP and at least 1800 into the Redshift.SMFH |
