Re: Ivory
 

Those are the Dlux mounts that I had on there before. The new cases came with additional link mounts, but they were thicker so I decided to use these.

BTW, I forgot to mention that Barry made this case slightly thicker than the stock case (~2.3mm thicker). So I shaved down the flanges on my tubes to keep full shaft tang engagement with the locker.

The bolt hole patterns for these rear cases are slightly different as well....so I redrilled the tubes. I used small grub screws in the older holes to help retain the strength of the flanges. I can also tighten the grub screws from the outside so they can put pressure against the case halves.

Re: Ivory
 

Whats the reason for making them thicker?

Re: Ivory
 

With all that Bling White, Why not white motor wires? :lmao: The new cases are looking great on there, keep up the awesome work and see you next week "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Probably because they were made for 2.2 and this is a super?

Re: Ivory
 

Yep, just to make the tube mounting points stronger.

Thanks Rob. "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

WOW! That is sweet.
How much weight did you save???

BTW, you need to switch out those metal link sliders for delrin. you will save some more weight "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

The case weighed the same as my shaved metal case....but the shaved metal case was missing the bearings.

I tried the delrin sliders and would kill them pretty quickly.

I finished up the "front" Bulldog gearcase last night and got the truck back together. I am happy with how this turned out!

I mounted the Dlux battery tray straight to the CF gearbox plate:

Lots of stuff in a small space:

Good motor placement and plenty of clearance:

Re: Ivory
 

Went Through Every Page On This Thing And It Is Amazing! My Mad Torque May Not Be It Too :mrgreen: "thumbsup"

What is that thing you are using for steering? People aren't de- casing their servos now are they?

Re: Ivory
 

It's the DLux servo strengthened kit...good stuff.

Re: Ivory
 

It was awesome watching Ivory in action this weekend. Did you figure out what was up with those servo strengtheners popping and skipping teeth?

Re: Ivory
 

You need to shim the gear on the bearing.

With out the shim they like to skip a lot.

I also machined the alloy spacer that goes into the bearings, I machined mine down so it was the same height and the bearings thickness.
This removed all up and down play in the gear.
Then I tightened the gear mesh right up.

After all this I have it working amazing and trouble free. I haven't found any position yet where the servo struggles like it used to.
