W.Pa.C Scale Crawler Guidlines

[mascman]

Leaf is singular and leaves is plural... :lol:

...only when looking at trees!


No true off-roader ever calls his leafs, leaves...you know that, Scout-man!

When you buy a suspension lift, do they ask you if you want blocks or re-arched leaves? No, it's blocks or leafs!

What's the difference between the Bruiser and High-lift leafs?

I'm thinking rear leafs with either coils or 4-linked front for the Bronco.

Also...if any of our crew is building, they need to be putting up some pics! This might inspire others.

See the 2.2 section for my build....

So what is everyone shooting for in their scalers?

I'm guessing they are going to be more for general trail running and mudding than rock crawling?

I'm wondering how fast of a motor I'll have to use with the R2 to get some wheelspin...think a 65 turn will do anything?


You guys remember this day...

Oh yeah...I think that was one of the last runs you did ;-)


I would think you would want to go for more wheel spin with low end grunt. Maybe 35 or 45T with lots of Volts...

Yep... and AT LEAST a 12 tooth pinion.

Who has a steady hand I need to bore out the inputs on the axles so I can put the pins into them.....

Best way is to remove the shafts and put them in a vise...if not, you will be fighting with it...

Do you mean the drive cups?

If so, use some Vice-grips and a Dremel with a small grinding tip. That's how I did mine.

I think he means the shafts on the axles...to the drive shafts...

The pinion shaft?

 

[crawler_king]

Bingo, the stumpy thingy that the driveshaft attaches to on the axles... thats my simplified version because I am not sure of the correct terms, LOL

That would be the pinion shaft,

that is attached to the pinion gear,

that rotates the ring gear (on the differential),

that rotates the axle shafts,

that rotates the wheels.

That's the basic layout of the rear ends.

I didn't want to tear my axles apart to drill them so i did them a different way. I attached the stock drive cups to the shaft and then used Maxx shafts.

i am currently in the middle of a failed attempt at shaving the tailights off of a D.E. Silverado. i think i am going to go back to the tailights. i can't seem to get the corner radius right on something that small. plus i am going to put it on top of a bruiser/AX-10 hybrid. i'll have some pics of it this weekend...
