99.8% done... All I have left is to make Links from the Servo to the knuckles. Program the ESC's and set up the Dx6 for the Super. I just need to figure out how to set different profiles on the Dx6. I can't figure that part out.

Looks good!! Get the DX6 programmed for it? Also, a comparison of the two set-ups. JIA's set up, and Kevin's from the Crawler Store's setup.


Can you post a pic of the BTA steering kit. I am having trouble with mine. Yours looks like it clears the motor okay. An underbelly shot of it would help. That is if your not to tired!

Thanks.

Thanks Man... I might need them. I ended up cutting the outer Lip of the Wheels to Narrow them up 1/4in. That pulled the Tire in towards the Center Some.

They are Maxx Mashers Narrowed with 2.2 Moab sidewalls. Best Tire that size I have seen or ran.

Excuse the noob question but I can't wrap my brain around this, can someone please explain. If the clod axles are bolted to the aluminium pimp cane beam with those nylon bolts, how are the axles able to flex?

The twisting of the alum spine is the suspension. It forces the opposite wheel down. I got mine installed, but am setting up the steering and electronics and haven't run it yet.

That's why it is called a torsion suspension. The benefit is the more you us it, the more flex it will get. I suggest using the "SEARCH" and read and read and read some more. There are alot of threads on this site about the Pimp Cane .

Great lookin cane setup! Can't wait till my pimp cane gets in. Does it seem like there is enough room for 1/4 servos if mounted flat on the axle?

Check page 4 of Double J's Super Goat thread. He's got a 1/4 scale mounted on his rig with BTA steering.

Yes there is enough room to mount 1/4 Servo's flat on Supers. now 2.2's is a different Story.

Well I did a little work to this today. Redid some solider jobs on the motors. Last ones where done in the dark late at night. Screwed around with the DX6 settings and lost what I did... have to redo the DX6 Settings from the start. I lost both 2.2 and Super settings I had...

This is the back bone braces. It limits the flex of it the rig and makes it fell more stable. Also gives a great spot to zip tie wires out of the way.



Still get plenty of flex..


Trying out my new lense
