That really looks amazing so far. I can't wait to see the complete build. It makes me want to take out my boxed up Juggy and start messing with it again.

what happened to crawler novak brushless didnt like or what???

ROK_TOY · 12-20-2006, 10:56 PM

I love where you're going with your buggy. I have to know where the mini-jack, and stands came from.

It's hard for me to focus on the truck, when I see those....they are too much.

Looking forward to the finished product.

no, not that at all. ive never tried or seen an outrunner and wanted to try one. it is cool seeing the can spin! i like it. plus with the mamba max i can fine tune esc with my pc, not so with the SS. i do have another crawler on the way though so i like em.

crawlaholic · 02-25-2007, 08:07 PM

What's up thor, hows the buggy coming? We met up at RocJoc's today and started scheduling comp dates, it's about three weeks to our first comp, hope you can make it.

Thorsteenster · 07-08-2007, 02:23 PM

finally got a little more done. mounted the hood, roof and side panels. now i need to cut the other side panel. ordered some 3/8's delrin rod for the links and am modding some ericksons and it'll be a 2.2 rig with narrowed masher 2K's.

the big'un! 3025, starting out it was going to be a super, but after voiding the warranty on one of my ericksons i decided to void the whole set and make it a 2.2.
i might go with a 3s lipo or a 10 cell pack.

cartronicshn · 07-09-2007, 10:02 AM

Looking very nice

, that cf look is awesome

cembom · 07-16-2007, 07:55 PM

What did you do to the Beadlock? Nice rig. I like the look of the redrocks but I have heard they suck. I might put some on my txt because of the looks. Also you think you gunna crack some panels on it?

Thorsteenster · 07-16-2007, 08:36 PM

i cut the hex all the way through so i could reverse mount them. i'll be running narrowed M2K's. if its a good crawler i may invest in some of insanerc's comp tires. it will chip and scratch, the side panels i wouldnt be surprised if they break, i had to relief cut the back side to keep to the shape of the tuber, its pretty thin on the rear one. its 1/8 inch CF though and i got enough left over to make several more panels.

cembom · 07-17-2007, 12:06 PM

Thats cool. I would like to seem em reversed. Do the redrocks mount on 40 series rims? I like the maxamizers and they would be cool together. I cant wait to get my txt, I got a maxx tranney just waiting on it. I need to know how that hyperion pushes it.

Thorsteenster · 07-18-2007, 07:03 PM

cooked up an idea for a rear brake/dig. here's a preview pic to give you an idea....

Nice. but uhm where do the input axles go? Is that where they connect?

suicideneil · 07-19-2007, 03:09 PM

That is where the propshaft connects to the axle, correct. You know Thor, I had been trying to figure out for ages how I might rig up a rear brake on the TXT-1- either on the tranny case or axle somehow. The hard part is mounting the brake pads since they seem to go onto little 'stubs', and then the brake servo pushes them onto the disc via a linkage of some sort- thats the hard part obviously. If you succeed I may have to copy your idea and buy another TXT-1 (sold mine to build a GorillaMaxx).....

Thorsteenster · 07-19-2007, 09:50 PM

once i hammer out all the details i'll start a seperate thread on this.

Thorsteenster · 07-31-2007, 07:04 PM

I voided the warranty on four wheels and cut the hex all the way through.
