Thanks fellas! i am going to try to keep it light. so far it weighs alot! I will probably running a evx from an emaxx or something, so no 3s for me.

Colby · 12-08-2009, 07:46 PM

Re-doing my berg and decided to get new shocks for it, so i pulled the traxxas big bores from it and put them on the super. Jason sent me a spair link, and i filed a flat spot on it and drilled a directly centerd hole in it, and bent it pretty good and it did not break. So I decided i would try all 4, and it actually worked out. So now I have it rolling at 96%, just need to figure my hex situition out...
Heres some pics:

Holy flex batman!!!

Good nuff for me!

Now which body to run?

Let me know what you think!

i think its comin along pretty good. i dont own one. but ive been watching this sense you started it. makes me want to build a super. keep up the good work

This is way off topic, but your T&P valve on your hot water tank is installed wrong and could be dangerous.

Please explain?

The build is looking awesome. You may want to limit the flex some. Some fuel tube on the shock shafts works great. Too much flex limits traction. KEEP THE SUPERS ALIVE !!!!!!

Colby · 12-09-2009, 02:49 PM

Oh I know it. I aint no noob lol

Thanks, I was going to stiffen the springs a bit and then limit them

My Son likes the 2nd body...

Colby · 12-09-2009, 04:09 PM

Thats what im thinking. Its a brand new body, so i may just cut it to fit lower on the chassis and mount it up. Tell your son I said thanks for helping me decide

Grizzly4x4 · 12-09-2009, 07:19 PM

The second one has more "flash", good choice.

Colby · 12-09-2009, 07:34 PM

Thanks griz! I need to come up with a way for body mounts. I tried to go from the sides, but the body is too wide for my axial posts. I will sleep on it and see what i can come up with. Thanks for all the support you guys have given me, as soon as i get some pinions i will tear it back apart, lock the axles, put my elecs in and go give it a try. As soon as the weather clears up a little i will take it out for some poser pics on the rocks.

TattooKenny · 12-17-2009, 11:57 PM

Where is your skid daddy-0? You need to get one on there! That will limit some of that over flex you have!

Nova's Ark · 12-18-2009, 12:06 AM

haha, i dont know? did you get lost on the way home from LRC? I started the build a few days afterward. I figured since the bergs kill shafties i might as well go MOA on a super as well. Im kind of at a stand still as of right now in the build. Dont have hexes or the right adapters, nor do i have pinions and a skid. Ran out of money

Colby · 12-23-2009, 04:57 PM

Well guys. I hate to dissapoint anyone, but the super is gone

A local buddy of mine was wanting to do a super, and I ran out of money. So I basically gave it to him to finish. He should be finishing this thread though.

Thanks to all who helped me out with it, I sold it for less than I paid for the axles. SO all the parts that were given to me were given to a 13yr old freind of mine thats been trying to get a crawler together for about a year now.
