The last few pieces were waiting on my doorstep this evening.

First, a set of stainless links from R2J:

And my repaired/new BRXL showed up from JRH. I hope to have this wired up tomorrow night and take it for a spin later this week.

Looks good Jeremy! I was a little worried about the bends in those rears, but they sure look wicked mounted up. What are those cone looking pieces by the rod ends?

JeremyH · 12-13-2011, 07:27 AM

Thanks Shon! Yeah, the bends are perfect! They just barely miss the uppers before my shock completely compresses and the rear bend follows the gearcase/servo perfectly...hopefully they will provide some protection to the servo!

Those cones are just delrin sliders that ErikDlux sells. They fit perfectly on your links!

CREEPERBOB · 12-13-2011, 09:34 AM

Rig looks totally bitchin' Jeremy, looking forward to comping with ya at Copperstate

, take it easy on the old guy though

michael · 12-13-2011, 05:22 PM

Looking good Jeremy! Should breakover alot better with those links.

shelljeep · 12-13-2011, 05:57 PM

Those large radius bends look cool, like rolled tubing.

JeremyH · 12-13-2011, 07:46 PM

Thanks guys! Yeah, I think I am going to like the clearance under those rear links!

The bend towards the axle looks like it could break any minute. I know these links are strong but it looks like it is a weak point...any opinion?

JeremyH · 12-13-2011, 08:37 PM

I suppose time will tell...

winkscrawler · 12-14-2011, 08:26 AM

Very nice rear lower links. I love the clearance you get. I am wanting to redo my super with all these rebuilds going on.

JeremyH · 12-16-2011, 07:36 AM

Thanks Ryan! There's no need for you to improve your super, you already kick ass with that thing!

MR.VERTICAL · 12-16-2011, 08:31 AM

Are you still running 55t,if so what pinon are you using?

JeremyH · 12-16-2011, 08:37 AM

Nope, when I swapped in those 65:1 superbully gearboxes I switched to some Brood 35T Bigwires/HHKs. I am going to stick with those motors and see what the torque/wheelspeed is like on these axles. I dropped down to 3S so hopefully the wheelspeed will be kept in check.

Thanx i,m trying some novak 45rock stars just don,t know what pinon to start with.

JeremyH · 12-16-2011, 08:44 AM

Well, I ran the 35t's, 12/13 pinions and 4S lipo. I was a fan of the wheelspeed!

Thats on this current setup? Did you try 3s? Got a link to some decent size (smallish) 4s?

JeremyH · 12-16-2011, 11:00 AM

Nope....that was my old setup. I am going to run 3S on this setup. You might send Shelby a PM about some smaller 4S packs...I know he had some that were pretty tiny.

Erik D_lux · 12-16-2011, 11:04 AM

I am going to give 3s a go. I have no idea how it will do though. I thought you might have tried them, gave up and went to 4s.

I do wish there was a tiny pinion avail though. I would think a 9,10t pinion would be great.

JeremyH · 12-16-2011, 11:15 AM

Nahh....this truck still isnt even running....the electronics are sitting in a pile waiting for me to wire them up. I've been quite busy lately, so not much progress has been made...

IIRC, there is a 10t pinion out there...I might need to try to find it.

WTF? you going for the longest super thread award??
