1.9 Comp Class build: Nluv's
 

Decided to try my first 1.9 class build. Went through all the spare parts and here is what I cam up with.

Specs:
Narrowed tlt axles
Hacked axial chassis
mini lst shocks
axial tranny
35t lathe
TD XL's
3 link/panhard suspension front and rear.

Lots of work to do still, but its coming together!

oh, holy shit! damn dude im gonna have to narrow my axles, it opens up so many options for wheels and tires.

Looks nice Brandon!

Very creative use of the stock axial chassis plates, looks like you have a couple sets of those lieing around:ror:.

Will cool to be see this thing at Folsom.

"thumbsup"

Exactly! Although the diff is off center than ;-)

Yeah just a few :ror: Cant wait to get it running and start tuning on this bad boy. Might just keep it ol school and throw a TLT body on there! You going to compete in the 1.9 class at Folsom?

Looks like crap just like all your other builds:ror: I'll come by and see in person .

When are you going to start building yours?? Wait you havent came over yet :flipoff:

that is sweet. i'll have to stop by and check it out one of these days.

That is some great use of parts there!

Looks really good so far! Nice Work!

I like the TLT body, looks alot like the Jconcepts xtra cab P/u body

I'm going to run my Losi MRC looks like so far there are five 1.9 competitors for Nov 9th

Garage is always open!





as long as Michele isnt home :ror:

Thank you! Its always cool to use old stuff to build something new

The tlt will be perfect for this, just need to go into my parents attic and dust off those old RC boxes to figure out where they all are.

The 1.9 class is going to be a riot :lol:

Great rig! The panhard bar kicks ass, good idea!

I see i wasnt the only person who thought of using the old axial chassis laying around:lol:. Great job narrowing the TLT's, i cant even see where you narrowed them, got any info on the narrowing proccess you want to share"thumbsup"?

x2"thumbsup" I would like to see a write-up as well. This is looking great!

Haha, i figured it out after reading it for the 4th time. Cut the axle tube down on the long shaft side and use a short side shaft on both, right? After hunting around for pics it looks like you can get almost a full inch narrower. Is that about right? Its gonna help a ton with wheel and tire selection. Any tips for where is better to cut to retain the strength?

hay bro ... that looks great .... what a great way to re-use parts "thumbsup"

Thanks for the link.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN!:shock:

So I just threw the chassis I was working on in the trash and dug out and ol' stock Axial chassis.:ror:

I have solid stainless axle in the rear and CVD's in front, so I'm not sure about narrowing them?

This little 1.9 stuff is fun, takes me back to when I first started crawling."thumbsup"

Nice job Nluv your 1.9 is looking good I think the TLTs will be awesome performers for the 1.9 class.

Ah, the good 'ole days.


Looks good Brandon."thumbsup"

Thanks man! The panhard setup will be interesting to see in action. SlinkySam has been having good luck with his replica of Tiny using something similar so I cant wait.

Ha you found it "thumbsup"

Thanks! Im still digging through the old parts buckets to finish this one ;-)

The axial chassis worked out great! I even used one on the first version of my berg. Amazing how I never ran a stock axial but ran that chassis on almost every rig :lol: Guess I am just cheap!

You might have trouble narrowing the axles with the cvd's because the location of the axle shaft is MUCH more critical. Im too sloppy for that :ror:

I am hoping so! Thanks Norm

Sadly they are LONG gone :lol: Thanks Sheldon
