Here are some of the build pics:

(tranny lock/traxxas driveshaft adapter made by Juggster)

(installed in the sealth tranny)

Specs:
Shock mount chassis
Stealth tranny with aluminum case
55T lathe w/ 84T and 12T
Novak XRS
5955TG
Custom Delrin skid
Custom Delrin uppers
Revo lowers
High clearance aluminum knuckles
12.5" WB
11" width
4" GC

Havent figured out what colors the body will get painted, but I am liking red and black.

Also, what do you guys think about the body height?

Thanks!

I guess I'll have to respond since everyone else ignored you.

Yes, the body would look better just a tad lower. Go with the black and red, you've already got that same color scheme on the chassis. You might also want to lower the chassis 1/2 to 1 inch.
Oh yeah , you'll be wanting to get the metal yokes. The plastic ones will self-destruct on ya

( or get the maxx driveshafts & yokes)
Also, what servo mount is that?

looks good so far...i like the batt and servo setup... keep up the good work

JeremyH · 02-18-2007, 08:54 AM

The servo mount is from FatRock.

It already has metal yokes.

Any ideas on how to mount the body a bit differently? If I lower it, then the servo mount rubbs badly (hence, the two sets of mounting holes).

Thanks for the tips and compliments!

how much does juggster sell the drive shafts adapter.? thanks

JeremyH · 02-18-2007, 09:10 PM

You should contact him. That is not a mass produced item.

JeremyH · 03-03-2007, 11:12 AM

Well, I adjusted the suspension a bit and lowered the chassis. It now sits at 3" GC and 12.75" WB.

I also painted up the body.

Here are some pics:

Sweet, what shock tower chassis is that again?

JeremyH · 03-03-2007, 11:36 AM

They are from a Duratrax Thunder Quake (IIRC).

off the subject:
ware in denton do you crawl?
do you know more guys that have rigs?

on subject:
nice looking truck!

JeremyH · 03-03-2007, 02:48 PM

There are a few crappy spots around town. There are some good rocks and trails out near the lake at Isle Du Bois. The best crawling in the area is at Murrell Park at lake Grapevine.

There used to be a group of folks, but I havent heard from them lately.

T-Man · 03-03-2007, 03:57 PM

Hey Jeremy, I haven't seen those pics.

BTW, have you had a chance to check out around Lewisville? Once I get a few things going, I may run down there to check it out. Somewhere off of 380

JeremyH · 03-03-2007, 04:47 PM

380 hits Lewisville? Let me know where the spot is...

I did a bit of testing this afternoon and ended up with a snapped drag link bolt (the one that attaches it to the servo horn).

The truck works pretty well!!

ON THE FARM · 03-03-2007, 10:03 PM

hey, i live in farmersville its about 45 min from denton on 380. i found some ok spots at lake lavon.

JeremyH · 03-04-2007, 05:37 AM

Yeah,
I work in McKinney a few days a week and I'd like to find a few spots out there for some after work fun!

BrockGrimes · 03-04-2007, 06:06 AM

Looks cool!

JeremyH · 03-04-2007, 06:17 AM

Thanks!

Turblankas13 · 03-04-2007, 11:32 AM

Are those the same wheels as on the pti, because if they are then u got to thin them out because them wheels are so wide

The wheels are HPI 5 spoke rears. I thought about narrowing them, but they seem to work well.
