LSXEric's 2010 comp truck
 
Sorry I haven't posted this earlier. I've had it for 3 weeks and built it a week and a half ago. 2nd kit I've ever done, and it was a lot of fun! Here's some specs, pics and a vid of it in the last comp. Broke the front locker, but that's an easy fix.
Specs:
Truck: Venom Creeper red
Motor: 35t Lathe
ESC: Sidewinder
Servo: CKRC wiggle (200oz in)
Battery: 10 cell Elite 1500
Nothing has been modded except the sikds weren't added, rear knuckles flipped, panther cougers (6oz of weight in front), and traxxas springs in the back.
Pics:

It seems as the hot tire in our area is Rovers, so hopefully sedonas will work better!

Well got my first bit of parts for christmas. FLM lockers, reciver (thanks jay), and rovers. The wheels are not there to stay, just for now. I did however give these lockers the full test, and broke the front driveshaft! Whoohoo!:D At least the lockers work well. Still waiting on my CFX chassis, Hitec 7995, R2 dig tranny, and now driveshafts are on order.

get yourself some traxxas hardened yokes with stampede shafts, i been givin him hell and had no problems

LSXEric 12-27-2009 04:30 PM

Maybe later on, but for now I'm settleing with axial shafts with metal yokes. Only problem I've had with them before is poping off, but driveshaft rings solve that.

JeremyH 12-27-2009 07:09 PM

Eric, get out your dremmel and groove those Rovers!

Good idea for my new dremmel! They have been x-acto siped already, but you can't tell.

Hey Jeremy, I thought about the idea of the axial tranny in place of the R2 and with my crazy liltle mind, the R2 is going in the scaler, and axial out of that in here. Run sportsman for the first comp until I can afford a dig for it."thumbsup"

krazy 12-29-2009 02:48 PM

Well I Don't have dig for mine yet so we will be running Sportsman together.

LSXEric 12-30-2009 09:07 PM

Hey krazy you going to run the stock tranny with Lances anti-venom chassis?

snwchris 12-31-2009 07:47 AM

Looks good, yea I tore up the driveshafts right away when out testing & bashing. I then upgraded to the Traxxas DS & Steel Yokes and have not had any issues since.

I noticed you had a pic of the Venom Dig, but then in next post you said waiting for R2 Dig Tranny.... why not use the Venom one, just curious??

The 1pc skid definately makes a difference surprisingly, since I just picked one up as well.

Well got the R2 with dig and servo all for $40. That along with the creepers uber huge tranny not going to fit in the DNA CFX, and the cheaper price, that's my logic. Getting more for less."thumbsup"

Good deal! You will like the compact setup of the Axial tranny in your new chassis! BTW, post up some finished pics when you convert everything over to the CFX....I expect them sometime this evening. :lol:
