Double J · 09-05-2006, 12:34 PM

Just glued the tires and I'll test it on the rocks after work or sooner, with out the rings on it.
I have to adjust my time this afternoon to see what I can get done.

that sure is a nice looking buggy.

Double J · 09-05-2006, 02:04 PM

This is a little spot by my work that I tested it out on.

I had a co-worker take the pics for me. I would have liked to had some better pics but you get what you pay for.

You need some logos to set it off!

the New owner is actually going to put some stickers on it.
I really need to get some Double J logos stickers made up though.

Well I went and had a 2nd run at the local LHS/track/crawl spot. Asked Grover to meet me out there and get his opinion.

Things that came up..
The stock tlt pinion just doesn't cut it, unless you just about drive full throttle.
The rear springs are way to stiff and doesn't allow for great articulation.

I've fixed the spring issue and the 9t pinion that I purchased was the wrong pitch so I'm hopping they will have the correct one today when I go for the 3rd test drive.

I didn't get any pics cause I forgot the camera at work. but I'll do it today.

Double J · 09-07-2006, 10:58 AM

I switched out the stock 24t pinion for a 13t (all I could find locally). JB welded the tranny as the smaller pinion made the washer I installed slip a little. Put some smaller softer springs on the rear for more flex (something grover pointed out for me, thanks)

I'll also have a video made on the smaller rocks (posted above). doing it today.

Double J · 09-07-2006, 10:59 AM

Quick picture.. Riding in the car on the way to work.

Double J · 09-08-2006, 09:07 AM

More testing and pics. At the end of this run I stripped the Spur gear, and replaced the 86 with a 90t. It works a lot better.. I should have the video soon.

Home shot testing the 90t spur.

Double J · 09-13-2006, 03:37 PM

Here is the video finally.

Yeah, I read that. Too bad I dont use that huge void between my ears or I would have not asked. RustyCrawler, from the vid and pictures it seems you have yourself a heck of a crawler
