Haha...I knew that would be the first comment. A local has one that he is getting rid of. Yeah, I'm not sure if the links will clear....we'll see. I havent picked up the chassis from him yet.

Those wheels are sick. I don't know much about supers so what is the BLS152 servo going to be used for?

I know....I am a dork. I am not creative at all and that was the best name I could come with.... I just figured that since the wheels were already white delrin, that I'd paint the body white as well, which contrasts my 2.2 (all black). Now I just need Paul and Stevie... |

The chassis that I am getting comes with high clearance links, but I am still unsure if they will work (the chassis was built for clod axles). Here is a pic of the chassis that I will be running: Clicky The steering will have Jetboat inverted servo mounts. Last edited by JeremyH; 01-08-2010 at 08:39 PM. |

I got a bit of work done. Steering setup on both axles is mostly complete (need links for the rear axle and everything will get sleeved with stainless tubing): I also needed a slightly wider setup for the wheels to clear the steering setup and give a bit more room for the lower links: It's a good thing that these wheels are completely adjustable.....30 screws per wheel ( ) and I had the width that I needed (~15" to the edges of the tire). I still need to adjust the width on the rear wheels. |

Yeah, I dont have my chassis or links yet, but it seemed to me that the tires were going to get into them before I made fully use of the steering. I havent narrowed the Plowboys yet, but will if necessary.
