I assume those are RC4WD mud thrashers? what foam and weight setup are you using?

Maybe you could produce some more steering setups?????

Your correct, they are the RC4WD tires in the newest competition compound and I have to say that they work really well. From all the testing and playing around that I've done with 1.9 scale type tires, the RC4WD compound holds it's own against the Pro-Line G8 and Losi Blue tires in the same size. I use a Trinity 2.2 foam cut in half to fill these tires and it seems to work really well. I'm runing 3 oz. of weight up front on each rim and 1 oz. in the back. I do run weight throughout the chassis as well to give the suspension a more active feel, but that's all by feel and play.

The steering setup is a combination of a BB steering kit produced by a buddy of mine (Cody Cook) who no longer makes the kit, and my own fabrication. Right now there are not many out there making the BB steering kits and unfortunately its required on these little rigs. I know that RC4WD is in the process of making a kit but I don't know what the status on it is. I'll have to rattle there chain a bit

Thanks!

It really did help with approach and it crawls amazing now. They take a bit of work but when you get them dialed in there a riot to drive.

Well it's more of a personal thing rather than something done to improve the performance. The stock setup is very smooth and works awsome, however the 3-link mod is stronger and does not have any slop. Typically after time, slop developes in the plastic links, which really bugs me.

I will be making a new lower link for this kit too, as soon as I finish the body details, the winch and my roof rack

4drmopar · 07-30-2009, 08:55 PM

Any updates for pics on the 3link rear?? That thing looks great, kinda funny, my buddys Jeep, is a twin to yours.. only his is long sold and gone!

MassCrawler · 07-31-2009, 08:52 PM

Digging the use of parts for your scale antenna.

Tastefully done wrangler!

And kaetwo's has ifs!
IFS on a jeep?

So kaetwo, how did you do it?

blackfoot · 07-31-2009, 11:32 PM

IFS on any of my Scale trucks will easily outperform my other solid axled scalers. You guys and your IFS on a JEEP need to relax, its a damn toy!

4drmopar · 08-01-2009, 05:52 AM

lol, eactly...now, If I was building a CRAWLER, let the beatings continue...however it's a trail truck and is just gonna be fun

If I was gona do all the work for the front to be solid axle, I'd just sell the CC-01 and get an AX(or SCX)-10.... oh wait, already got one... oh yeah,this is the FUN truck

I really dig the orange and it's one of the first times that I've painted a body and haven't wanted to repaint it

I understand the IFS thing as it's a huge turn off for me. Heck it bugs me to be running a 6 lug rim on the jeep if that tells you how up in the night I am

And this is why I want to build this Jeep on a K2-5S with TLT axles... I can't stop building!!!!!
