Just a couple updates - finalized the tooling ....... and it clears the chassis with stock transmission One side on first - nut is captured to secure the side plate Push the stock losi lower pin in and attach the other side Stock tranny needs a little notch cut to clear the side Our tooling is figured out - getting some good ideas from our tester ...... things are rolling smooth for this project. |

Cant sink the transmission any deeper with out widening the whole skid plate. Too many losses for one gain in designing. I can tell you the motor is less then .220'' higher then if you left it in the stock oversize LNC chassis. As for driveshaft angles ....... if you're worried about them then I would lean to believe your truck needs tuning work. The concept behind both versions of our un-Stuck is giving a competitive crawler chassis at a price new guys don't get gun shy to. Is it perfect for everyone? No but we seriously feel its a kit that will give some winning competition to all the other kits out there. We've been driving these trucks for years with that one particular piece of gravity ........ theres more to a truck then just how high a transmission is.

Hey, good on you. I hope all my competitors feel that CG height isn't all that important. |

Robbob that looks absolutely stellar, the link mounting is genius! as to the motor being too high? it looks lower than a tranny flipped lnc to me? it looks like what makes it appear so much higher is the dropped upper chassis rails that sit nice a low? either way it is gorgeous!

Agree it looks a lot higher then it really is. If its really that much of a concern to drivers they could always try cutting the ears off the motor plate and trim the plastic down to mount it lower. You can see it just looking at this picture but then again Im not an engineer. | |

the drive shafts will not be an issue, the angles are far more extreme on my losi scale truck and it works every which way you bend it around. | |

getting some work done on this guy, a complete teardown, putting a brushless system in, doing the jens mod, trimming the body, hoping to get some bumpers/sliders/fender tubes made up sometime soon. i also think i might do the proline 66 f100 body. still unsure. wanna do a 2.2 full scale build with this guy.

| Re: liv3mind's lnc stuff Happy you like it. Def was a fun project! Started building mine last night and our other tester is getting theirs going. If we don't see any unknown problems with them in the next few weeks we should be ready to roll these out soon too. |

Successfully de-cased and de-heatsinked my mmp, and it works great and was super easy! now smashed with the rx it's a nice little package, it's like that electronics plate was made for it. |

The first suspensions setup I'm going to try will be partial droop front, normal rear. |

I love how low bodies have gotten now that the full-size rule has changed.

What did he do for your shafts? Cut/weld them?

Cut the Losi shafts about .25 after where it radius's down from the locker. You need the AR60 pieces cut and mounted to do this part with half the Losi axle case. Put the XR Chub on also. Slide the xr uni in so it bottoms out on the c hub ...... Slide the losi stubs into the lockers Eyeball marker where the two would touch and sharpie a line on the xr uni Dremel the uni but dont try to be exact first shot - Slide the uni back in and but it against the Losi stub - see how much gap is between the uni part and c hub. I left about 1/16 space If you have to much gap then just keep dremeling off a little at a time Make sure you keep the losi stub and matching uni together so you know what side matches. Do that then weld or find a welder It sounds long but its rather easy if you take your time. Im hoping a little life in the Losi could bring back some easier way to do it. Maybe someone will come back out with a Tang style setup or even offer weld jobs. That parts not in my calendar though. | |
