OK, OK now I see what u guys are saying about the verticle trans. After three weeks or crawling with it this way I think wana either build a tuber or mod the CF chassis for horizontal trans. What do u guys think?

This rig is no more, it has been modded to a scaler. See new thread: Oh no, not another FJ.... I was going to delete thread but will leave for prosperity. |

Its been a long, long time since I've been in this thread or worked on this rig. I was feeling nostaligic recently and since I had a set of built up AX10 axles laying around I thought to my self why not get ol' "carbon sides" back up and running again. I always loved how this truck wheeled so I'm excited to bring back my very first chassis design and make a go of it especially after all I've learned in the last year. First up I designed a new delrin skid plate that inboards the lower links and has a lip that covers the bottom of the chassis plate. Then I mounted up my first built AX10 axles and losi crawler shockes, I put 10mm of fule tubing on the shock shafts to limit articulation a bit. Then I quickly threw on my OG AX10 wheels with the same claws as before, I ended up with 2 and 5/8 inch ground clearance under the chassis . I hope to slap a AX10 trans in it soon and scrounge up some radio gear to get her running as a back up / visitor rig. |
