besides with wheel weights, the chassis split, among other things, if he added the battery to the front and they change a course to nothing but dropoffs, he is screwed

The truck looks awesome. very nice job.. :thumbsup:

But still. The battery is sitting as high as it can possibly be. He could just break the pack up and put a few on the rear axle and a few on the front, if he is concerned about weight distribution.

That is true it is higher than it could be, however, with my configuration it works really well, and I have multiple packs so i didn't want to break them up. But thanks for the suggestions. With the way it is now, and with the giant scale servo it's was getting to crowded up front as the suspension sits now., I didn't want to interfer with flex, I spent a lot of time and figuring where the best place for the battery would be and this seems to be the best on this rig. And I also didn't want to put any more weight on the axle houseing.

Hey cheapJeep,

I was wondering how much articulation you get?Im running the same setup,but it seems that I have way too much flex.Thanks!

Hard to say for sure, probabaly about 75*

Are you using any limiters?

cheapjeep2 · 12-19-2005, 07:54 AM

No, I am not using any limiters. If you look up in the thread and find where I just got it reassembled, I show it flexing on the work bench and flexing on a cabinet. That flex was maximum before lifting a rear tire.
