| 2.2 DMG Nemesis build
hey guys here is the begining of my 2.2 crawler(lots of parts coming) bought some rock claws on 8shooters had some maxx shocks laying around and parts from traxxas big bores so what do i do?i go ahead and take apart the maxx shocks and install the shafts and caps from the big bores onto the maxx shock bodies and springs (medium)- im using revo shafts with my rockproof mod(i shrink wraped it and greased them.they slide very smoothly and freely) closed- extended- my tlt axles(brand new cases) trimmed up.the front steering link is lifted for higher clearence. locked diffs servo is just a mock up it needs to be sent back becouse they sent me a defective one. front- rear- Last edited by eclipse9; 01-03-2010 at 10:43 PM. |

Looks like a good start. Doesn't look like you spent that much money, compared to some other builds. Except $37.99 for spacers WOW! Thats why I made mine from Tamiya Frog wheel adapters for about $10.

You've got a good list of parts going. You might need something stronger for the dig though. I have one of the R2D's also, but it needs a full size servo to work properly. I would also look into some Teflon bushing for it, they help it work smother. Keep it up. Interested to see it all put together.

Honestly I was running almost 200 oz at 6v and it still would get stuck from time to time. Here are the bushings: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...ight=rocksmith And I would suggest some of the Jelly from him also. Link here: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...ight=rocksmith |

almost done just need to- solder all electronics together make some link mounts for the links in the middle servo mount digg servo mount charge batteries let it loose:-P cant wait it was cool how jerry's tranny mounts were with those hideaway screws.i decided to go with a different route.i just like countersunk screws.and also only 4 screws instead or 6 to take the tranny off. |
