**Update**

Got some things in the mail yesterday, so now the rebuild begins.

Here are the RC4WD spools that are going in. They are much lighter than the stock diff & seem to spin smoother.

I sent my SW2 back to BENDER to be put on a diet. Also had him make me some links. This is how it came out.

Now just waitng for axles. More on that below.

Ok, now about those axles. I ordered some axle c's from Xtreme RC. I cut off the plastic parts to mount them & they DO NOT line up. I am very dissapointed, ALL of them are different. NO 2 look the same. If I could do it again I'd get the Fat Rock version. BE FORWARNED!!:-( :-(

I'll try & mod them to fit, I have to, comp on sunday & I cut off the stock c's.

That chassis turned out sweet, I see another use for what looks like Traxxas pivot centers! I use those things for everything! I like the almost complete lack of the other side late, very creative!

I think I'll go orders some spools now...

rocpede · 11-03-2006, 04:05 PM

that looks cool, and that must have been a really big diet too. and keep the pics coming.

Wrecker · 11-03-2006, 04:10 PM

That's sweet looking. As if the sw2 wasn't already unstopable. Can't wait to see it all finished.

Unimoger · 11-03-2006, 04:23 PM

Nice Diet on the sw-2 DTP

the axle c's, yeah I have the fat-rock ones, will NEVER buy any other ones, PM slinky sam, I think he is getting close to having them ready. They are the ONLY ones to have

I am so happy I got the slinky sam ones. And he gave me crap on his thread when I said his looked hokey.

Where did you get the ano'd frame braces?

wrightcs77 · 11-03-2006, 04:53 PM

I have the XRC axle ends and have had no problems on install or use. They have held up great. The others do look good, but I haven't had problems.

Now I can't wait for the adjustable XRC axle ends.

Thanks,
Casey

Managed to get this beast all together this afternoon. Took the C's to the Dremel & shaped the edges, then I had drill out the holes so that I could get both screws threw. It's got a little bind at the end of the servo throw, I think it's from the dog bone end not being centered in the drive cup. Right now I'm just happy it's together. Here she is.

FrankyRizzo · 11-04-2006, 07:54 AM

Thanks for the link. I just ordered a set.

Truck looks great. Those C's have an offset. If it is not lined up it will bind.

I had the same problem, and he would not even respond to my complaint!

Looks good DTP! I really like the chassis and links!

Highmark · 11-04-2006, 11:53 AM

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 11-04-2006, 01:02 PM

Nice job!! How many times has this been built now? 3?

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 11-04-2006, 11:16 PM

Took it out for a test run today. It's sweeter than sweet. I was gonna paint a new CJ8 for it, but I used all of the paint on Toy-rific. So, I threw the Toy on. Met up with shut d's & RATBASTARD at the comp site, here's a few pics.

That's all I got today, more after tomorrows comp.

smokinubyrc · 11-04-2006, 11:31 PM
