Col_Sanders Builds of 2025

And she's ready to run! The winch mount was just a hair off so I had to figure something else out. I may tweak on the wiring a bit later but it's decent enough for now.


Weight is 4.66lbs with 55/45 bias. I have brass hubs on the way and the low profile brass portal covers sitting here in case I need them.

12mm brass hubs up front got it to 56/44 forward bias at 2116 grams. Looks like the low profile brass portal covers and the hubs would get me to 58/42 and total weight would be 2268 grams.

Holiday weekend with crappy weather so in my office i sit.

With the new build being done and my other comp trucks in good shape, I had a little time to screw around with the VRD Carbon. I was not happy with my suspension setup. The shocks just weren't right for this. I decided to throw on the 90mm Priceys I had in the parts bin. The BTA servo mount rubbed the spur cover so I backed off the upper link rod ends a couple turns. Then I ground off the steering stops and added a 27mm servo horn. Still gotta figure out winch mount.
