| Busted's '08 Sinastir Comp Plate TLT
Well after doing a 3 day build to get the SW2 up and running and doing well with it I am off to a good start on the rebuild of the 2.2. On to the tech specs: Sinastir Crawlers SCP chassis R2D with teflon bushing 7T Cobalt Puller 8x 2/3A battery 645 steering servo (for now) JR servo for dig (whatever I had lying around) MSD dished AL wheels wrapped in M3 Moabs with Red Kreepys all around Super Rooster ESC Losi's Shocks Losi Grappler body (mounted just above bottom of frame...I learned that the had way last year) which needs more trimming as its too wide still :o |

Don't worry about that I will. Like I said some more length on the chassis would be great, and a few more upper link mounting holes. | |

Keith she is sitting at 3-1/4" at the skid. Not much I can do other than limit the shocks. Out of adjusting holes in the chassis looks like time for rev2 on the chassis. | |

Good to see another fellow Pa setup here on the boards. I think your clearance will serve well on alot of Pa terrain. Im running 2 1/2" on a narrowed stock chassis Axial and a GC1 TLT. Takes alot to bump it over but I like the stability. |

Nah no droop been there done that not for me. Maybe a 50/50 but that is even doubtful, since once again been there done that. May narrow up the chassis so I can reach the upper shock mounts, as for my driving style sprung works better. | ||

The Good on the Truck: The 3.125 center clearance Dig MSD wheels with Red Kreepys and M3 Moabs Losi shocks 7T puller The Bad: Need more locknuts on everything 7T puller with a 12T pinion is VERY hard on 2/3A packs Torque twist due to 30wt oil in the losi shocks. So far it is as capable if not a lot more so that the SW2. It needs some more lead in the front to help on climbs, and oil change in the shocks. But it runs great. |
