|  Billet Works' BWD Super Wedge...NEW!
Here's the first showing of one of the many projects I've been sitting on here. The all new BWD Super Wedge! While the one pictured is built around narrowed 65:1 Super Bullies, we have several more builds that will make an appearance shortly including: 1x std Super Bully, 4x Clods, and 1x Berg. Chassis' will include sides plates, lightened skid, lightened 3/8" thick extremely beefy machined lower links, upper links, braces, and hardware. I'm setting mine up at 17.25" WB. The weight as pictured is 3 lbs 2 oz. Specs for this build: BWD Super Wedge BWD Top Secret Part #1 (much needed but not yet pictured)  BWD Custom Upper Link Mounts (not yet pictured) BWD Custom Steering Links (not yet pictured) BWD All New Super Locks...hopefully soon  Crawler Innovations Cut/Shut PlowGrinders/foams...soon 40 series wheels (temporary) G8 Moabs (temporary) Sven's Knuckle Weights Narrowed 65:1 Super Bullies (big thanks to Mike at RC4WD) Losi 4" shocks 2x Holmes TorqueMaster BR-XL ESC's 2x Holmes 35T's DX7 CC BEC 2x Savox SC-1256's (temporary) 2x Robitronic Servo Horns And of course, working on a project like this is so much nicer when building on my Jumbo Cow R/C screw catcher  Many more pics and details to come...stay tuned. If anyone has a set of my old super locks sitting around, that they wouldn't mind loaning me for a bit, I'll make it worth their while some how BW Last edited by billet works; 10-20-2010 at 10:56 PM. |

Nice, I think 3/8" plate like that is as strong as 1/2 rod but lighter and more fun since you can machine cool designs out of it.

I have links made from the same stuff on a 24" WB 20 lb fun rig here and they are bomb proof.

Wow Don, that is a really clean Super setup! I might have to borrow that pocket idea for the lower links, mine are a bit hefty.

Great job on the Chassis and links. Looks like it should work well. I sure wish you wouldn't lead us on about new 115s Last edited by 70duncan; 12-06-2010 at 06:23 PM. |
