Thats a very generous offer, and a great idea. Problem is, he won't go for it. I've offered to build him a truck, give him parts, ect...no dice. I told him many times that he can come along and drive one of mine. He wants to run his own stuff, which I can respect. He's the one that kinda got me into rc's way back when. Lots of days spent running trails, me with my Stampede and him running his Blackfoot, good times!

Yeah' - haaa'-haaa' that kinda' remind me of my stubborn & bullheaded older step'brother "ol'Smitty" who live's up in Millington,MI. he's so damm' stubborn and he won't take to kindly to an offer to help him along for his pride away's get in the way just as My Father allway did' too' and he just as well go about it all in he own way's too each and every time around Trail'Dawg - Oooh well'..For I try'd now did'nt I - and I respect him also for his way's as well' - I still be needing a good used rear axle "complete" for a WK' that only a 2wd one that was throw into a trade off last winter' - So I can go about getting this WK' Roller-"missing only that axle"-turned into a nice 2wd scaler for my wife to play around with - and finally be able to strap all her Kool' scale stuff apond - and also have some fun with us too' - LMK if any of you have or come across one for a descent and Used price please - Thank's guy's -Scoot'er

The ff-4 is starting to come back together. Got my tranny mounted, got a dig unit comeing in to yet this week.

Got the rear back ont he chassis and body mounted up where I want it. Just have to get the front installed with some delrin uper links, rebuild the front shocks as there a lil to stiff for there own good right now. And the fun part is painting the body.

Then it will run, but will probably need from major tuning.

TrailDawg362 · 04-19-2010, 04:41 PM

** moved to a new thread **

Has anyone given some thought about a trail truck get together? I think it'd be fun to get a bunch of us together for an afternoon of scale trail running. It's been awhile since we got a big group of us together for an outting with our non-comp rigs, just for fun. 1,000 Islands last summer was the last one I remember, which was a blast

. Not sure how flexible I can be on days for the event, but if we can come up with a date that works for most people, I can sure as hell try! Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

scootertrash · 04-19-2010, 05:43 PM

Sound's good dawg' - wondering if I could somehow make it up there myself for this one as well' - if you all' do get this all lined up and a exact date set for it - then "LMK too,...Please" - And keep the pic's coming My Way as well okey' - Scoot'er.

Satan6907 · 04-20-2010, 02:57 AM

The the ff-4 moved under its own power tonight.

Dig is in the mail, once I get that and get it mounted and working I can get all the electrics where they need to be.

Well I still need a plate for on the rear axle so i can mount my battery pack.

This thing should be mean when its all setup.

Lets hope it can give them dam MOA's a run for there money.

What are your links doing/not doing? Are they rotating your axle forward or backward when they cycle? Not sure if I can help over the internet.

Yeah Super, buy it for the kid! He's ready to upgrade

Satan6907 · 04-21-2010, 12:59 AM

Well as my camera cable is junk and my sd card reader wont be here from china for like a month I cant show you.

they just seam to sit weird, might be the droop setyup in the front though.

Satan6907 · 04-21-2010, 01:19 AM

YEAH for crappy cell phone pictures. Best I can do atm so

I have a feeling ima need to make new uperlinks and maybe go back to a outer spring.

TrailDawg362 · 04-21-2010, 01:51 AM

I can't tell for sure by the pic, but it looks like your uppers and lowers don't run parallel to each other which is usually the best geometry for keeping the axle in the right arc as it travels up and down.

OK, now you made my brain hurt

Super · 04-21-2010, 08:02 AM

Yeah what Tdawg said, start with your links being parallel and if you wanna mess with squat/anti-squat start small. Great, now my brain hurts.

scootertrash · 04-21-2010, 09:02 AM

T-Dawg'...did you get a battery mount that's to your liking yet' -I got afew stock AX-10 one's and could throw one at ya' - you could use to get by on till ya' figure out just want you'd want to go with' - LMK'- if I could help ya' out bro' -Scoot'er.
