Well, this rig will be the Ivory to my Ebony.

Specs:
Super Bully Axles
Area 51 Chassis
55T Tekin Pros
Dual HH TQ's
DX6
??S Lipo
Futaba BLS152 and Hitec 7950TH
BWD 115mm Beadlocks
Plowboys

So far, all I have done is a teardown and rebuild of the axles. Here are a few pics:

Area 51?

Where you get one of those?

I am interested to see how you clear the motors....

JeremyH · 01-07-2010, 08:18 PM

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?

JeremyH · 01-07-2010, 08:44 PM

Front steering duty.

RCROCIN' · 01-07-2010, 09:59 PM

What is the width on those wheels?

70duncan · 01-08-2010, 01:03 AM

Boy those axles look sexy with those wheels.

Dang Jeremy! You don't waste no time do you? Let me know if there is anything else you need for this. I should have some stuff heading your way really soon!

JeremyH · 01-08-2010, 07:14 AM

Oh, I'll let you know!

This thing will need some voltage!

What a dork. lol jk. Gonna be a sweet setup! You should run dual HH esc's with dual 4s!

JeremyH · 01-08-2010, 08:18 AM

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...

dboy1k · 01-08-2010, 08:26 PM

looking good, so whats the plan for the links and steering

JeremyH · 01-08-2010, 08:32 PM

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.

I wish that jackass local would hurry up and get that chassis to you already. :-P

JeremyH · 01-09-2010, 05:23 AM

Haha....I didnt want to mention his name....

JeremyH · 01-13-2010, 07:56 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.

I was in the same situation and after narrowing the Plowboys an inch it really helped the steering angle before they hit the links.

JeremyH · 01-13-2010, 09:08 PM

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.

dboy1k · 01-13-2010, 09:25 PM

you better start the narrowing process

its looking good, it would really look good with a BJ super chassis
