kudos on the use of the double chassis' for the bodiless affect....roll your front axle back a bit though..by the BTL I can see that you are running negative castor...positive is better for crawlers

remmuh · 10-27-2011, 03:59 PM

Thanks, I moved the upper arms back 1/8 in. I also did some chopping to the frame and changed the color and how the side panel are attached. Here's a list of my upgrades -

RMD BTA Steering package & pin-lox

Aluminum lockers

Wheel extenders

Rover White dots

Novak 45T motor with 19t pinion

Novak Rooster

DSM receiver / controller

15 oz. of weight in each tire

Aluminum servo horn

HR 1 piece rear axles

Front aluminum C-hubs

Hitec 7955 servo

CKRC Stage 2

i like that setup. one thing i would think about is taking some weight out of your rear tires. im running 8oz in my fronts and none in the back (the wheels weight in at 8oz per so there 16oz in the front and 8oz in the rear)

Maxx_Savage · 10-28-2011, 10:41 AM

I'm intrigued by your boydless tvp design.

Could you please post a close-up pic?

remmuh · 10-28-2011, 12:36 PM

Thanks VCD. I removed 5 oz. from both rear tires. I won't be able to test my VC today as it's raining.

Maxx Savage here's some pics for you -

remmuh · 10-30-2011, 08:37 AM

Thanks!

If I may say so myself, that's too much articulation if you plan on comping it. Good looking rig though

i would have to agree it looks like a lot all you really need is about a tire hieght of flex but some guys like more some guys like less
i personally like a little more like 6" but its usually around 5.5"

remmuh · 11-04-2011, 06:02 PM

Made some changes -

added upper and rear body panels

replaced screws with button heads

moved receiver to top of tranny

removed 5 ounces of weight from each rear tire ( thanks VCD )

moved upper front control arms back 1/8 of a inch to improve camber angle ( thanks RMD )

venomcrawlerdud · 11-04-2011, 07:41 PM

looking good

, i say thou what is the ground clearance on that rig u got?

remmuh · 11-04-2011, 07:49 PM

floundern45rc · 11-04-2011, 08:43 PM
