|  Team Y-Town SuperJuice
Now, this one will probably take a little longer than my 2.2. Our clubs next comp is Jan. 31st so I have a little while to get it built up. Here are the specs that I know for sure so far. Superjuice chassis 3/8" delrin lowers Super 300's Either dual front 7955TG servo's or one 7950 (front axle) Single JR 8711 (rear axle) dual FXR's Holmes 45t P94 Handwounds Nomadio React TX and RX HPI wheels Custom Rovers Custom Nova Foams VP high steer berg offset knuckles (front) Stock berg knuckles (rear) Okay, so here is my front axle with upper link mounts/servo mounts.   The big trays on the tubes or for mounting lead weights. I am going to mount the weights onto these plates and keep the weights off of the wheels. However, I have another idea. This would be to create a behind the axle tube servo mount, and only run one servo, behind the non motor side tube. Pros - low COG; Cons - only can run one servo. I have some a 7950 servo coming and I think at 7.4 volts it may be enough for this light super. This is the direction that I am now leaning. Here is the rear axle. I made a single mount similar to the front, but then afterwards the behind the tube (86jeep inspired) idea popped up. Only I'm afraid it may kiss the rocks a bit too often on the rear axle.   Wheel and tire.  Sick custom Nova foams!  And last but certainly not least....the superjuice!  Let me know what yall think about the servo ideas.  |

Your gonna need some loooong Carboms..Should make for some good durability testing..  ..The dual servo set up looks cool..Might be easier to just run one large one though...Any who...Keep up the good work.. |

shelby are you going to clock your front axle? i ask because with the amount of steering throw you will end up with alot of push fro your front end. i ended up clockig min about 30 degrees and almost laying the case all the way down. here is a pic  |

In other related news, El Capiton was able to fix my butchered super rover and glue up the other 3. Here is a pic of it.  Last edited by 4xFord; 01-24-2010 at 11:19 PM. |

He'd better have it running by the 30th, or I'll win the first comp for sure! |

Okay finally progress! Got my axles clocked, servo mounts done, link mounts done (for now), and CVD's installed. Now I am just waiting on material to make my tie rods.  I copied 86Jeep style steering, just on the other tube so that their aren't any motor clearance issues. I also installed some Crawler Innovations servo guards in case any stray rocks want to take out a servo. These guards are nice because they incorporate a clamp, so it kills two birds. I clocked the front axle 20* and the rear 30*  And here is the sickness, the Superjuice V2. Now this is a super chassis!  |

nice work on the servos. did you grind the axle at all? a dual 86jeep setup in front would be pretty sweet.

Oh ya, and I got a set of Y-Locks. I can't say enough about the quality of these wheels. They are right up there with VP and others. Simply perfect!  |

You should pick up a set of the stock axial wheel washers. They it the flat spot of the wheel perfectly. here they are on Ebay, but I am sure they could be has at other places http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AXA-1090-AXIA...item2c4f32d9c8 Quote:
