Man John I love it!! I kept watching for this thread. Great to see the clearance you have with those links. How tight are they and the rod ends? Do you think you will have any trouble with them twisting and contacting the gearcase/motors? I hope to have my chassis in next week to start my build. Are you going to clarance those axle cases?

| No Grappler... Not sure yet which body...but I will be buying 2 of them so I can have the same body for my Havoc build. I have paint scheme ideas for both Quote:
Unfortunately, with the links rotated like they are..and the link bodies themselves being so thick, after mounting up the wheels/tires...the fronts scrub the links when turned. Can't get full steering throw without the tire hitting the link. I may be forced to make a set out of the same materials I did for the uppers. Would have liked to run the KK links, but it's not looking like it was meant to be. :-( When all together like you see it, and twist the whole thing front to back in your hands, the lower links really don't change much in relation to motor & case clearance. It's stays almost the same through the whole travel of the "suspension". | |

Very nice combination, the KK T and Mini-Clod axles. I just got my Havoc and HellStrom and really thinking about doing a Mini-Clod Havoc. Carl |

Hey John..any updates?? BTW what is the length of your skid? and then what are the lengths of your links? I really need to make myself a jig or buy one. got my skeeter chassis in today but still need internals for the axles.

Awesome build John! Glad to see some different chassis with the Miniclod axles. I'm setting mine up with a GC-2 chassis now and it seems to go together really nice as well. I just need to bevel the skid like you were saying, to eliminate just a little bit of interference. Great rig man. |

I think the skid is 2"x 2" if I remember right. Have to check when I get home. Quote:

Seems like it took forever though for me to grind down the collar on the rear straight axles....maybe it was because I used a grinding drum from a Dremel | |||
