my jugg buster I got a juggernaught cab and a truggy type bed on a almost stock clod buster chassis I call it the jugg buster the back story I got a pile of rc stuff that had sat outside in the sun and rain for years there was a juggernaught complete and a ta02 s10 complete in the pile and a clod buster with the grave digger body on it after figuring out the jug just wasent it I started playing with the clod I added the jug cab and some toobe on the back and made a truggie like thing http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/...psxcyohe63.jpg |
Re: my jugg buster It came with 2 twister motors that had 402 had written in marker on them a wp860 ESC the tires where roten so I added some team associated mt88 tires and wheels and used the old upper links off of my wraith on the top of the axle I also extended the wheel base by about 1.5" it dosent tip over so much any more I used the jb lockers front and rear in added some led lights and a fuel cell like deal I think its sweet and it craws good too |

Re: my jugg buster |
Re: my jugg buster That's pretty cool! I wish they'd re-release the Jugg. |
Re: my jugg buster The ESC went up in smoke the other day for no aperant reason I decided to replace both motors to just in case one was bad I picked up 2 goolrc 35t motors because they where real cheap and a 4s capable cheep Chinese speed controller we will see how this set up works out hopefully this set up holds for a while |
Re: my jugg buster Where did you get the speed controller? Hobby King? |
Re: my jugg buster i hunt chin-e-bay for good deals sometimes ill buy something just because its so cheap if i think i might need it like esc and gear sets brushless motors body clips conectors |
Re: my jugg buster I dig it, nice rescue!!!! |
Re: my jugg buster thanks yo all the plastic is so britle the axles just about disintigrated so its time to replace the housings i am also reworking the front skid and servo mounts and shaving the stock lower links and reinforcing them with aluminum ill try to get some pictures up |
Re: my jugg buster |
Re: my jugg buster I've finally got this thing running again I ended up using 2 new rain speed controllers one couldn't handle 2 motors on 3 s I cut the front skid way down and mounted the servo on the axle itself I have to weld a few tabs on to the skid and clean it up and it should be good the plastic I mounted the cab to went away so I replaced that area with some aluminum and now I have a really solid mount for the cab hinges to bolt to the motors were getting to hot for my liking so I ordered some 9t pinnions for it the thing flys right now so that should slow it down a bit and up the torque a bit I still have to build the new rear axle and shave and reinforce the rear links |
Re: my jugg buster The pinnions showed up today I fit the front one and it fit perfect I did trim a little off the inside of the motor opening so the motor would fit I also made the last tab for the skid so I'll clean it up and weld it all together I'll change the rear pinnion when I build the new rear axle I am also thinking of redoing the rear toob work also or maybe just finish it as it is |
Re: my jugg buster I got the rear axle built got the pinnions in its running really good I set the front ESC to f/b/r mode and the rear to f/r mode it eliminates the heavy drag brake on the front axle when going forward and becomes a drag break in reverse on the first click full reverse on second click all that's left is to clean it up and run it |
Re: my jugg buster I installed a new set of shocks made a aluminum bed for the rear and after getting it all together the chassis cracked and one of the links snaped so its time for a bunch more new parts after all this rig has been through it deserves some new parts I might try to make some links out of aluminum but I want that stock lower link set up and i dont think i can replicate the stock links good enuff to look or work right its is still a clod after all and I want to keep it that way |
Re: my jugg buster Question should i go with the red bullhead chassie or stick with the black chassie the red might give it a nice pop and its $6 cheaper but i have black now and i like it |
Re: my jugg buster I went ahead and got the red chassis I figured I can always paint it if I don't like it and my new arms are here a!so I'll get a pic after I get it all together and rolling again |
