Official WiRCRC Chit Chat

[TrailDawg362]

Just got a package from DinkyRC . The Honcho interior is nice and should be generic-looking enough to work in whatever truck it ends up in. The bedside kit is also nice and will get installed on the Clod Chevy cabbed SXC10 when I get back to it.

The tuber project will take some engineering to do the 4WS but it's do-able. The rear servo will be axle mounted, but only selectable/preset to forward-left-right to whatever I program in for throw with the 3P aux button. For clearance reasons, front steer will have to be a bellcrank/linkage/CMS setup like the stock WK was. I still need to scrounge up some axle shafts and whatnot.

Super Swampers or Rovers, I have my pick of the two to use
I'm thinking polished aluminum body panels this time, cuz I like shiney!

[Super]

Sounds like a lot of engineering. You can do it!

[TrailDawg362]

I have the rear servo mount "in stock", I just need to bolt it on and make the links. The big challenge is where and how to mount the front one. WK axles already have the mounting point for the bellcrank. Not an ideal setup due to all the added slop, but oh well. I might have to get creative, since I'm trying to do this without spending too much money.

I blame you for this build! It should be close to a roller in the next few days, gotta build 8 links! Think I'll reuse the Team Zero comp shocks, nice and cushy.

[Super]

You're welcome.

Might order a couple of these, I'm all done with Integy . For $27.99 it looks to be a better budget motor, only a few bucks more than Integ-crappy now that they're made in China instead of Japan (price keeps going up, and quality isn't). Always had good luck with Trinity, and they use REAL copper in their brushes!

EDIT: Pulled the trigger and ordered 2, free shipping if you wanna wait up to 10 days. Patience never was my thing. Should be here this week.

Also: Weather man is sayin' 49 this Sunday? For real??

Added a new album to my profile, "Group Shots". Classic pics from past outings...is it summer yet?

[Super]

Some of those are really classic,from when we first met.

[TrailDawg362]

I'll pay you in 1/10 scale money.
You never do anything stupid You should get two, one for me too.

[Super]

Did you get that blizzard out in the blizzard yet? I want pix!

[TrailDawg362]

Just a couple hot laps and a quick snow bash in the parking lot. This thing is just beggin' for some Titan 380's and a 3S....oh, and lights!

[Super]

Yeah, gotta have lights.

[TrailDawg362]

The Sabertooth esc just got here today, so I'll be switching it over to my DX3R. Now I can run up to 4S . Wanna bet the stock motors will go "poof" on 3S?

[Super]

The way you drive, um yeah.

[TrailDawg362]

OK, that hurt .

I should have ordered the new motors when I first thought of doing it. Maybe your "buddy" at that one hobby shop in Oshberg has some .

[Super]

"buddy" ha! OK, touche my friend.

[TrailDawg362]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Super, Mrs. Super and Super Jr!

And anyone else lurking out there .
