Well, I got the new R2j, links on today and the chassis all back to a roller. All that's left is to wire the motors and install a servo and mount. Then comes the shake down run. Flex is right where I want it and the shaft mounted springs are perfect. Here's some pics before the body goes on.

I have had to bend my upper links about 5 degrees on most chassis with the Bully's in order to clear the gearboxes. IF you are running 1/4" delrin for the uppers, I might recommend reinforcing the links with something as the deflection of the material itself makes the links feel a little "bendy". If you start running 5/16" or larger diameter uppers, then the issues of the links hitting the gearboxes and limiting articulation increases with the link diameter. The answers to this are simple....reinforce the link first before bending it. This allows you to run a 1/4" diameter delrin slightly bent link...thus limiting interference issues. Aaron knows what I am talking about.....he has seen my rig and how the links get done.

I am how ever going to contact you about that sick servo mount you've got. "The Eye", recommended looking you up for that one and sent me a link with your build. VERY cool. That's the one I want.

Up dates with the body and the Berg wheels. The Chisels barely touch now, I'd like to narrow these wheels in the future. I'm really bumbed tho about the body. I did up a really nice C-10 crawler body, but with the small amount of electronics on the top tray of the chassis, it sits all jacked.
The servo is not mounted, I'm awaiting a "special" unit that will be in production soon. (again, Top Secret, but you'll like'm when they hit the forum) Anyways, I took a bunch of pics on my test course while I tested usual S.J.T. (stuff, Junk & Things) that a crawler will go through. Weight distibution, break over, verticle and tip are outstanding so far, we'll se how things work when we are able to test dig, turning and push. I think the MOA will definantly handle the crack better if a tire slips into it than the shaftties have. I got my first itch for MOA's after seeing how Harley's, Arch chassis Berg did on my course.

They be 3/8's links from Shon, at R2j Kustoms. Nicely tappered athe Revo end. I did how ever use a "long" REVO end and cut it back about 1/8" on the front lowers to get the right angle for the steering linkage and keep the shock where I wanted it. It sets just at 12 1/4" and almost 10 1/2" wide. The Berg wheels make it wider but the chisels needed pushed out a bit to clear the shocks. With the shaft mounted springs tho, there will be NO shreading of the tires.

Ka-POW! Just scored a Futaba 3PK-S, off the bay with receiver and drop down wheel attachment for only $#^^%*. I know it sounds insane since I just got the dig setup done but I think I'm going to run dual FXRs, after talking to Josh (AKA Harley) for total control of the front and rear.

Thanks for the springs you sent me i will let you know how they work. For now i am trying out this " Traxxas big bore #4760/Losi mini springs #LOSB1117" the only problem i am having is trying to keep the shocks from leaking out the oil. Can't try different weights of oil if it will not stay in the shock Last edited by samaruki; Yesterday at 10:38 AM. |
