Suggestions for my TXT buildup

[swell searcher]

where can i find the 4:1 gears? i think i'm going to try the pede trans depending if i have space to drill new holes on my j2 skidplate.

Tanis built a 2.2 TXT comp truck, but I don't think he was ever able to get it dialed in to his liking. The biggest issue I see is lack of steering throw, even with a lot of grinding.

Look at RJ's 2.2 clods, Run hybrid 2.2/maxx tires, narrow width and most of all CVD's! than wuou will have enough steering and potentional to run in the 2.2 comp class i think. But i could be wrong

Yes is more diffecult to make a clod or txt run better in the 2.2 class
but thats just the great part about it!

well i have aluminum knuckles that came with the TXT axles and they got to full lock. however, i don't have stock knuckles to compare them to. as soon as i get some tires mounted, i'll post the pics of my throw.

I would also like to get some 4:1 gears. Someone needs to spill the beans on where to get them, or we need rc4wd to make some for us

I've read that thread a dozen times but I'd still like to buy a set of gears in the USA.

thanks... i was hoping for a US source. i guess i'll try to figure out the site... unless EGRESSor wants to be a middle man...

With the addition of a dig setup, steering wouldnt be a problem. Ive got stock knuckles on my axles right now with CVDs and im steering about as tight as possible with what ive got.. Ive done a lot of grinding and notching, the knuckle arms actually touch the axle housing at full lock. I think that with what ive already got and the internal rear dig setup that Don designed, 2.2 class wont be a problem.


Eggressor is the man, those are his design. Theyre definetly on my with list. And we definetly dont need rc4wd making them, those guys can **** up a wet dream...

Well I have started building my TXT - wb is 13.5". here's the rundown of parts:

done:
locked txt axles with aluminum knuckles with custom servo plate
j2-tt chassis with traxxas pushrods for links
maxx shocks setup 50/50 sprung/droop with losi springs
R2 trans with axiom 65t motor and trimmed maxx shafts
rebel 2 esc, tq3 radio & receiver, HS-985 servo, 6c sub-c packs

to-do:
wiring everything up
TBD wheels with badlands MT
body

Well here are some pics:








Still trying to figure out which body - probably the woody cruiser body

finally got her finished... check her out...







She had a 30 sec run before the rear wheel started to wobble. I guess the TLT hex pin was too small. Fixed now and can't wait to test her limits.
