Default torn apart and reborn again

hi

I have a Goliath + Extension kit for quite some time now, and I never was able to build it in a way, so that it functions satisfying.
So I decided, to redo it as a simple basher.

I ordered tc3-diffs and took some leftovers (ESC, servo, receiver) to make it meet my expecations.

what I did:
took 2 tc3 ball-diffs
some buggy shocks
axial wheels + wheel-hexes (they must get drilled a bit to fit the axle)
some parts of the extension kit (lower link- and shock mount, upper link stand-offs)
the links of the normal Goliath crawler kit

side view:


top view:


axle detail (drilled through at 10 locations to make them more sturdy):


articulation-shot:



Rebuilding it elimnated all torque-twist, and I think it will work fine form me now.

sincerly
Tomancik

Did you put the tc3 spools in it, or just the new ball diffs? I have an older PTI, and I am looking for better performance out of mine too!

Hi
I just installed the ball-diffs, as they come. I took the steel ones. They cost a bit more, but I think they are worth it. Only time will tell...

sincerly
