Jeremy,are you using the mini straps to hold your battery..........I had a couple of losi straps left over from the LCC but they are way too long.
Thanks !

JeremyH 03-05-2011 12:42 PM

Hummm....I am not sure where I got those straps from. Probably just Home Depot or somewhere like that....

It was a nice day and I figured the Mardi Gras partiers wouldnt be up early, so this morning I headed down to the beach for a bit of fun! I didnt take too many pics, but I burned through 4 packs....

And shortly after, this happened:

Broke the tie rod bolt and the ball end.

scottkerley 03-06-2011 03:46 PM

Man..................that's a beautiful place to run ! bummer about the bolt !

JeremyH 03-06-2011 05:22 PM

Thanks! With as long as that bolt is, I knew it would give eventually....

JeremyH 03-14-2011 06:42 PM

I skipped out on work today and met RickM down at the beach today for a bit of crawling:

lovin it,,rigs lookin killer,,love the red and white...,,,off topic,,are you running near salt water,,if so does it affect your rig any,,there are a few real sweat spots by me ,near the bay and ocean,,the fear of "possible damge" the salt water/air may cause,,its kinda kept me away

JeremyH 03-15-2011 06:36 AM

Yep, that water is warm and salty as could be! I havent seen any issues with my comp trucks, but I dont get them in the water. They do go in the sand though. IMO, the only issue you would see is if you use those black oxide bolts....they would rust. Most of my bolts are stainless, Al or Ti...

scottkerley 03-15-2011 10:19 AM

Did you go to work today ? (Lol)

JeremyH 03-15-2011 10:23 AM

Sadly, yes...:cry:

I took this truck out for a test run of the new SS sleeved steering rod and it held up well! No flexing at all!

Awesome rig man! Diggin the white all over :)

I have to ask, (I see it here and there on some rigs) did you fab you front steering link or does someone/company make them specific to super bully axles?

scatterbrains 03-24-2011 04:54 AM

Thanks! Yeah, I built that steering link (the silver one) from threaded rod sleeved with stainless tubing. Although, lately, I havent been very happy with it. It flexes a bit too much and I have been looking at building one out of aluminum hex stock.

It looks good but bummer it doesn't perform as expected. Alum hex sounds like it would work as long as it's solid core. Thanks for the info :)

JeremyH 03-24-2011 12:31 PM

Well, it worked quite well at first, but I think repeated abuse has taken its toll....

Were you seeing the flex at the bends? I'm looking to go this route (8-32 all thread w/ ss tubing) for upper links on my super rig. I've looked at Lunsford' links but they are too short. What size tubing were you using, link? Thanks Jeremy
