5th dimension dominator chassis

[Foxracer11]

Gonna make a semi build thread I've already put everything together for mock up but gonna break it back down and do the works on the wires and such so for now you can see it in running mocked up mode

[tapped-out]

Do you know your lower links are in the wrong location?

[Foxracer11]

your talking about the front lowers?

Yes also looks like rear too.

Lowers should be mounted on the skid like how it was sent, all chassis' are sent assembled so there's no confussion on what goes where. You can reverse the skid the other direction if the tongue is in the way.

[tapped-out]

I reversed my skid and run my receiver in rear of skid. I also trimmed short s8de of skid.

[Robbob]

A heat gun and a 5/8 socket can be used too if you want to warm the delrin and roll the tongue up.

But I run short front (rolled up) and long rear to help keep the rocks from getting in between the rear links.

Just heat it slow, doesnt take much to warm it and warp it.

[tapped-out]

I use my wife's hair dryer to heat up skid.

[Snatch]

I also bent my tongue,nearly the same like tapped out did it.
And you should also try to move your shocks one or two holes to the center of your chassis,then your riding height will be not so high.Or perhaps use shorter rodends at the shocks
And if you use longer rodends on your upper links,your gearbox will turn upwards,that helps a lot over edges

I have officially re-boxed mine, as I just too frustrated with trying to get it set up properly. I even thought about listing it in the classifieds, instead, I just moved on to other projects.

Thanks guys yea I've been going back and forth between this and the xr10 and just wanted to see it back in one piece I'm looking at having some time this week and really want to do everything your talking about deff have to switch skid around so that longer is in rear since I have a receiver battery mount from brc. And yea wasn't sure on the links rod ends are probably to long just have to see and tinker with setting a bit deff want it lower and will try the esc on skid might come up with something new for mount who knows

[Foxracer11]

Tapped out who did your rear links I like those a lot more than the round version I have

There's 2 different rigs in the pictures
Blue rig
Chaotic Crawlers made links no longer doing business.

Rig with Clear panels.
They are traxxas links I bent them.

[Foxracer11]

I like the clear panel links how much would it cost for the bottom rear links like that or would you be able to

[tapped-out]

I bought these traxxas links. This is a cheap/budget way of making links.. bending others links isn't something I'd want to do....
IMO the links you have will work great once you get the chassis and shock set-up correctly.

[Snatch]

You just have to know the right length of your links,bending is not difficult.... if you try it,you can do it every time in the future!

I bend My links using 3 deep sockets in a bench vice.
