Aqualung’s Sport Build

[aqualungs]

This is why I like building lol. Got everything hooked up loosely to program and test.
First I had a mysterious benign and clicking. Figured out the drive shafts parts weren’t parallel. Smooth now, but wheel wobble.. The Traxxas Beadlock Wheels are rubbing on the Portal Button head screw. Only a little in the back. I’m guessing you can’t switch it out to a cap screw. I need to pick up the Servo and a JST extension, so I’m hoping they have 8mm brass 12mm hex hubs. Any suggestions?

BTW what a joke the 2075x is that I took from my disassembled Stampede to try things out..

Looks awesome! I’m having some issues with all 4 wheels wobbling and when I have the tires on the drivetrain slows and speeds up. Not sure what’s wrong.

Got everything to a point where I could go have some fun. Still some wobble on the front tires. I’ll have to maybe loose and retighten them.

Had fun with short period I had. Went for a half mile walk and stopped here and there for some Madness and tested some of its limits. Nothing too exciting.. yet.

Took the dremel to the bumpers, flipped the front mount, and ordering a front mount for the rear. Bumpers are now tucked all the way in. Gonna order bushing to raise the sliders for more clearance and trim the body up nice.
Shed the rubber fender extensions. They weigh too much and rub in the rear too much during flex. Better off trimming full size flares.
Moved the battery up front. Climbed the cat house..

Added Samix lower brass shock caps. Raised the sliders and trimmed over 14/“ of the body, which I hated to do. If still fits ok, cur it a few mm too short.
Also removed the Titan and replaced with the Holmes 550 21T that came in.
My 1080 ESC Mount and front bumper mount for the rear comes today. The weather broke so maybe some crawling action today.
Looking for a bumper combo and need to add some lights, so I can tool around in the dark.

Added some goodies. Red STRC servo Mount for added rigidity, while I was in there did the Red front bumper mount and flipped the front plastic mount to the rear.

Teetered on alloy vs plastic bumpers for a while, but decided to stay light and offset a light kit, so I ordered Vanquish bumpers. I love them!


It’s been getting dark so early, and I like night time trailing. I added the MyTrickRC Dragon DG1-II Kit and I love it. The 5” light bar has 3 settings with the controller. It goes from dim to UFO.
I went ahead and ordered rocklights from Dan at MyTrickRC and a needed jumper cable to light up the amber running lights I installed. More to come!

Added rocklights and took them for a spin. Can’t wait to go out again for more fun.
