I won it

[buggynutt]

thanks for all the great info Reflection. Im back to the thinking stage of this build and will be needing alot of help. I really do take all the info gatherd to heart and will be building as I get some parts ordered. As for the esc I will be running an fxr for now because I have one still in the box that has been collecting dust and its time for it to come out. Im going to go with the axial trany because that is what I know most about. I didnt know that they made 6mm outputs for it, do you have a link to where you got them? I thought that they were all 5mm. Anyways it back to work so I can afford this build.. lol

Thanks to all

I've got a HR dig I picked up in a trade. Pretty weak looking honestly. Gonna install it in my sons scaler one day, it may hold up to a 1.9..... From my experience, the best dig on the market is a VP. Eritex made a nice dig unit. Gereme builds some really nice stuff to, I'd say it's a good dig unit. I don't know the specs on it. I've never run one.

My 6mm outputs, the chromoly outputs are all CDW outputs. As far as I know, picking them up used is the only way as I believe he quit making them. My stainless steel outputs are custom built, had them built before anyone was offering upgraded outputs.

Just seen this on the 6mm outputs....."thumbsup"

Although the 8mm is beefy and a great idea for a super, we need some 6mm outputs. I wouldn't make them as long as the 8mm's. I had some custom outputs made a couple years back. Made out of stainless, 6mm and 1/4" longer output on both sides. Worked perfectly and plenty of beef IMO.

I here what your saying Reflection
and I do have some like you describe in the works......

But I wanted to make these first to go with the two new Chassis I have coming out

so Look for the 6mm X 3/4" in the next month or so ;-)

just orderd some revo shafts. got 4 shafts and the 2 half shafts for $20 off ebay. I think I going to order the axial trany from ckrc that i found and see how it works. Not sure if it has stock outputs or not.

thanks

 

[buggynutt]

Im thinking about these tires and wheels..

http://cgi.ebay.com/Proline-40-Seri...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45fc688f16

Is this a good price? I havent found a better one yet.

Are these the wheel adapters you all are running?

DUDE...........:shock: :shock: :shock:

That looks Sick man........

Your awesome..........

This is gonna really be a sick a$$ build for sure "thumbsup"


Parts are being shipped on Saturday

Regards Rick

 

[buggynutt]

My tires/wheels, revo shafts, should all be here by mid week also. I orderd the trany from ckrc and recieved a call today and said they are waiting for there order to be filled so it wont be shipped until mid to late in the next week. EERRRRR they are also sending servo's and servo arms at that time.

Its hard to wait on something they should have in stock. they should have marked it out of stock on there web site.

I will be drilling out the skid plate and front cross braces to get them ready for assembly.

I might change the name to Creepy Crawler..lol sounds better

thanks

Disturbing graphics. Creepy crawler is a little weak. Un-dead, or re-birth, Beelzebub, blood and guts.

And on another note, the hex's will work, the wheels and tires ain't bad for a play rig, and the CKRC trany (I'm guessing has) are stock Axial 5mm outputs. They do offer a steel gear that you can install you own outputs on I did see.

 

[buggynutt]

Are there the outputs I should use?

or is there another one?

 

[buggy]

or these, http://www.supershafty.com/8mm.html major beef!

NEVER had an issue with CKRC. Never needed anything fast though either.

Super Shafty is the bomb for beef. This is the gear I was referring too http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/ax10-hard-steel-transmission-gears-p-2932.html

i run those with my t8 combo and i took them out to do some maintenance the other day and after all the hell raising i had done with my m&m fab buggy they showed absolutely no wear. great gear set imo.

 

[buggynutt]

I think I will wait for the outputs until I decide if Im getting a dig. I just have no real plan yet. I need to get this thing put together a little to see what I need to do. I want it to be done so I can go get some play time..lol

 

[buggynutt]

Has anyone tried this? I think I will post in the axial area as well.

[buggynutt]

I got a few things done while I wait for parts to show up.

Thata all I got for now. Hope you all like it so far.

thanks

That looks like a good set up for a super running two, say 35t motors. Run a 3S 2200mah or better for most satisfaction"thumbsup" Price is good too. The Wraith run the same trany as a AX10? Looks similar. Get it and review it. I bet that would be a hot item for formula too.

Oh, Skins look NASTY too"thumbsup"
