I have a question on a better way to put the bottom steering link. I have seen people run it so it doesn't affect the approach angle. This is the way i have it now. They aren't the best pics but they should get the point across. And again does anybody know what type and size of tubing to use to cover the links so they don't bend? Thanks.    |

I went to the hobby store and got the jeep body, JB Weld for the tranny, and the screws to hold the tranny in place. I still need a slipper clutch and plastic drive yokes. I'll get them off the internet. Ill post some pics in the morning because im tired now.

I wouldn't bother with the slipper. Just use the slipper eliminator. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...1p?&I=LXJK67&P= |

Yes, run a slipper. I went through too many axles without the slipper.

HobbyTown in Roseville has the parts for the new style slipper. You have to make them look for it though. It's the same slipper that fits one of the Traxxas nitro trucks. I don't remember wich one . PM 1tom2go on this board, he just bought one yesterday.

I was just there yesterday and he said that they have no parts for the new stamped yet. I have to get all of the little metal parts too. The whole slipper clutch package. They are all out of a bunch of traxxas parts too. Like the yokes.

Here's the jeep body. It's kinda hard to see. And i found a way to put the steering link up higher.   I have a question too. What screws do i use to attach the silver link mount to the little silver thing. I tried this screw but it was too long.   |

You can flip the screw around and put the nut on from the axle bracket side. Everything should still clear with the upper links.

Thanks for the tip BENDR and thanks for the compliment shocker. The rims are hpi black spike wheels. I just tried it and it worked. I got the whole front axle together. Last edited by Norcal crawler; 01-20-2007 at 08:54 PM. |

In the pic of the front axle it shows a way to gain a little more clearance with limited parts needed. Another "My first crawler thread" I used parts that come with the tlt kit as well as a couple of 3mm screws and some stainless steel tubing found at the local hardware store. If you look closely,,, you will see the small aluminum spacers used to raise everything up. The spacers came with the kit. I also used the rod ends and the threaded rods that come with the kit. I found them to be the correct length and no modifications were necessary. I cut the stainless tubing to fit between the rod ends with a tight fit. I used stainless because I felt that any additional weight would be about as far forward as possible along with being pretty low. The stainless will also hold up better than aluminum. I found this setup to be about as high as I could run everything and still have it below a sufficiently long servo horn. The horn is plenty long and i have full throw +. I hope this helps. |
