Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Well, um, what's up with your shark fin? Also, anyway to mount that tranny so your motor is lower?

Your rear uppers need to be moved higher on the chassis

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Looks like it is on a servo, rear steer I assume.

My opinion, take it back to the stock link under the servo.

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Yup, it's on top of my rear servo mounted to a piece of kydex that I cobbled real quick.

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Interesting, why rear steer?

Also, what tranny is that? It puts that motor way to high up, you'll have less than desirable stability

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

its an lnc trans with some hr aluminum housings. and agreed on clocking the motor back down to stock position, i think that that is just going to be a headache on rock.

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Hey guys, i put 4 more chassis up on my website as a pre-order. ETA ship date is in about 4 weeks (late april) once i get the new fins and skids

I have material headed to the new machinist (appox 1 week), it'll take him about a week to get the program written/proven, 1 week worth of shipping to me to approve the parts, then it'll be another week for him to run the rest of the parts and ship them to me. Once i get them, they will be shipped out.

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

I should have my first fin in a week, once i approve it my machinist will run the rest, skids are afew more days out. So were talking 2-3 weeks and i'll be shipping out good parts

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Just pre-ordered "thumbsup"

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

This new fin look good?

:mrgreen:

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

I'm working on a pretty cool insert how-to as well...the format its very time consuming, but the end results are spectacular...i'll be doing this for all my products from here on out, i'm the using inserts as my lab rat to figure stuff out.

The approach for install is abit different than petes, the way i'm writing it up is easier todo with less risk involved but its more time consuming

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Looks awesome. Can't wait. Pre-Ordered mine a few days ago. Thanks guys. Keepin the Worm alive!!!!

Mmmm wtf I did not eving take a hard hit


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

wow...what did you do to the poor thing? Is it still functional or is it toast?

It fail from 2foot maybe 3 it's **** ever time it flexes it pulls it out


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Interesting, kinda disturbing it broke there...i've abused the hell out of mine with 10-20ft falls/tumbles.

I believe i sent everyone a spare insert, if you still have it, drill the skid out, and thread it in, then drill a hole a the chassis there and bolt it back together.

If that doesn't fix it i'll try and get you another one

Idk if that will work bc it's right bye the hole for the bar that holds the links


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

i mean drill out that hole and put the insert in it. You can still get a small pin through the insert to beat out the captured pin

Ohhhhhhhhh ok I will tri that


Fish phone

I was looking at it looks like it hit the fin win it hit so it pulled the upper links back so thats y it did that Has this ever did that to you ?


Fish phone

Attachment 194018Well looks like poo but oh well


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

i'm still trying to figure out how you broke it there :shock: on my protos, even in cold weather, i never broke a plate there. i broke the shock arm on the v3.1, and other than that, i haven't broke one since. i've thrown the thing across my shop for the hell of it and still never got that.

Yea I don't but it's going now I gusse win I want over the fin hit pulled on it or something


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

even that didn't do anything, i abused my truck with intent to break plates.

Idk it did lol I have been talking ab going back to the stock chassis bc my side hill sucks now I tun over on the lil dum stuff now and I have mine just like yours so idk what it is


Fish phone

Ok so I'm a da I got some new lcc shocks they had some long ass rod ends had me at way over 4in. So it's at 3-1/2 now and wb is 12-1/2

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Only way to run a high a belly and have good side hilling is to make sure weight is as low as possible. And white springs are too stiff.

Also widening the trackwidth helps too.

Ohhh well I have ben playing with it and I'm geting it there and ant the losi white the softest ?


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

no. the losi whites are 1.8 pound springs. next down is losi gray's at 1.6, then losi golds at 1.4, and losi blacks at 1.2. you gots alot of options there!!

Ohhhhhh ok thanks

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Fish, are you running any knuckle weights?

No I have the mayham wheels the front is 9oz rear is like 6oz


Fish phone

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

you'd be surprised how much knuckle weights help...i don't run ANY weight in my wheels, front or wheel....i am considering some front wheel weight though

you ought to start a build thread fish"thumbsup"

Re: OverkillRC's: The Phoenix
 

Its got me flabbergasted as well...next time i run off some chassis i'll be sending him a replacement.

I don't think the fin could cause that, but i ran the shorty fin till the comp Saturday...i may have to try some fin impacts.

I might just do that and on the Chassis I have one on the way he just want back to the stock chassis and put topper on it looks good to
