I experimented today with brazing rod instead of silver wire, and I am sold!!!! Not only is it WAY less expensive, I prefer the flow of the rod, its more forgiving of contaminated material, and it has double the psi strength. So this afternoon I brazed on the front shock mounts Also worked on the rear section of the cage |

What are you using for a heat source on the braze? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |

Aww, familiar with that rig. Used it for my first two builds and hated how much oxygen I had to use. 4 to 5 bottle to a single bottle of gas. I was considering going with silver solder on the next one. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |

I hear that!!! I just hooked up my 3rd bottle of oxygen and still got a long way to go. I'm going to build 16ga plate bumpers and TIG them at work to save some of my oxygen.

Diggin the build dude! But don't hesitate to drop in an axial tranny when that venom goes belly up. My tranny lasted thru 2+yrs of sportsman comps & a yr of scaling before she let go. I would have rebuilt it, but when i pulled the little rubber flapper off to check it out, my dog fell in, & it took a crew of 14 & a chopper to locate him in that bitch! They're big clunky effers. |

Junfac carbon drivelines got backordered on me and possibly discontinued so I guess Traxxas drivelines are gonna have to do. Also the front axle was positioned 1/4" too far forward for my liking so i made some shorter lower links and determined if I swap out the upper rod ends for shorter bent rod ends I will avoid having to make new upper links. Now the problems is I have stopped at two LHS and none of them know where to get plastic bent 3mm rod ends. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanx for the compliment Jado, I ordered a pack of plastic bent rod ends from RC4WD, and was able to get the front axle dialed!!! Gotta make a package tray for the electronics and then Ican test drive to further tune and tweak. And then maybe interior.
