I was thinking a fully functional scale V8 mounted under the hood

[nicodrive01]

nice and clean rebuild, Ryan Waiting for more...

[ittybitty]

She's on all 4's...



Potential steering...

[ittybitty]

I believe she may still be a little tall...I'll have to mess with it a little after I get the C's bolted in place so that the wheels will all will stop flopping all over the place. I had to wait to do this until I have it sitting on it's own weight so I could figure you where the caster needed to be set at.

Diamond, 4xFord, Krawlfreak, JeremyH, racer_zh, nicodrive01...any input on ride height???

[Hittman]

O nice bro! This is looking great. And those blue knuckles and c's look really good

see that like Krawl, I'm a bit lower than at the last comp and it feels much better. Has 8/6 mm add limiter in rear/front now.

Internal springs are interessting for sure...

These are the first big bores I've ever really messed with so I haven't pulled them apart yet to see what I'll need for limiters. I've messed with internal springs before as well, but I tend to like to swap springs around just for giggles and being internal that just makes for a mess every time. I know why he does it, and I can see the benefits of keeping the rig sucked down...just not my cup of tea is all.

[ittybitty]

I tackled the electronics tonight...

The way it was...156g and a lot of extra wire



The way it is now...2 BRXL's and 2 BEC's stuffed into one package. This and the Rx will all fit on the Rowdy Racing mount behind the transmission

[ittybitty]

I'm going to try to use an XR style Rowdy Racing front axle battery mount on the front axle in front of the motor...or at least something similar to it

X2

mine is around this . I use egressed scx10 shocks.

[ROWDY RACING]

That electronics package looks nice, very clean, guess I know whos doing mine. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for a battery mount.

Yep, lower it. I run internal AND external springs on my super.

Wait a minute, I'm a little confused...
You are a Holmes Hobby Team Driver, shouldn't you be running some of John's motors in this rig?

Regardless, those 45T Apocalypses will work great for you!
I ran 45T Creeps in my SuperBerg for 2+ years without any issues.

And nice job squashing the electronics down, looks very clean!

I'm having the same delimea with the heigth of the rig. It is seeming that even fully compressed I'll still have 4" from the skid to the ground, the uppers are whats got me stuck, I know everyone does well with this chassis so I'm gonna figure it out.
How tall are your tires Ryan?

you can still fine tune the outer springs to the desired ride height and stiffness.

there is never really a reason to change the internals once you find out which ones create the full suck down rate.

with the larger tires and the chassis all the way sucked down you should be in the 4" area at the front of the skid.

[JeremyH]

IB, that's a good idea with those DH hubs. Did you just drill out the threads? IIRC, the bolt pattern is only slightly different.

[ittybitty]

Yeah...my tires being a full 8" makes it sit higher than most also. I'm gonna work on the shocks today.
