Topless

Had to redrill the skid to clear the DNA dig which also moved the weight forward.

Chassis Mod and New top mount body post set up

This is how she currently looks

abadk9420 · 06-16-2009, 03:34 PM

Changed to a BTA steering set up, aluminum wheels, and now running on 3s lipo's, man what a difference. here is some updated pics.

I sure hope so, I gotta try to figure a way to get a little more steering out of the new set up, but it is definitely a big help with the approach angles

crawlinround · 06-18-2009, 02:34 PM

Lookin great Curtis! Hope the BTA works for you i'm sure you'll do great I no you can kick my butt!!

Thanks Mason, I have some VP high steer knuckles coming but they will probably show up while I am at the comp

. I did a little tweaking on the drag link and the 3 link mount, as well as the servo horn, and used some taller spacers and managed to get a little more steering out of the BTA set up, so I think I will be OK for the comp

But it being toed out when used with my Axial aluminum knuckles is not helping, I hope the new VP knuckles will fix this problem as well.

GSRswapandslow · 06-20-2009, 01:35 AM

what upper links do you run?
and do you know how long your lowers are?

i'm thinking about ordering this chassis

The upper links are 102MM Revo push rods, the fronts are Jato turn buckles for the steering if I remeber right as for the length of the lowers just ask the Dogman he knows what length they are for this chassis

with this chassis and the dogmans dogleg lower links I am just a hair under 12.5" axle to axle

Here is a few pics from my last comp. on Saturday

crawlincircles · 06-22-2009, 12:28 PM

Looking good Curtis

Did you get the VP knuckles yet? If so do they help a lot?
