| Yukon's TCS NN super
Well last year I ran a linkless TCS 18" stick. It worked great and allowed me to get a 4th place finish at its first comp at Crawlapalooza. After seeing Joebruiser's NN perform throughout the SERCRC point series season, I decided to start collecting parts again for another super and try a four link out Here is where I have it right now. Sort of hard trying to juggle two rebuilds and get them ready in time for Crawlapalooza '08 and do school. Specs: Clod axles w/ aluminum locker and TTR cvd's Xtm thorn wheels 1/4" offset 12-14mm adapters Panther plowboys in the rear and meat grinders up front (for now) 45T motors hitec 5955 and hobbico cs170 servos mamba max and sidewinder custom 1/2" delrin lower links 8/32 all thread with 1/4" stainless steel sleeves for upper links dx6 I was able to get a fellow club member to narrow the wheels for me since I dont have a drill press to keep the cuts straight and even (thanks Joey!). Once i got them back, I tacked them together with some IC 2000 CA. ended up being close to 2" wide Once they dried, I took some epoxy and spread it all over the inside of the wheel and wrapped it with some fiberglass cloth (thanks Joey for the idea and help ) Roller form: More to come when parts and time come |

The Thorns turned out well. I am glad you are getting use out of them. I am looking forward to the completion of this build.

Glad to see you used it, it looked too pretty in the hotel room. I made me want to reach over and just scratch it with something |
