got my chassis. weld look eh but its solid and flat black. amazon and seller show this with the esc tray in the rear but i did not get one. the stock upper links are way to short, but i knew that going in. havent ran it yet still waiting on bearing and my driveline/cvd update. thanks to custumer service for great and fast [and free!!!!] update! im goning to have to lengthen my leads to the esc from the motor. even with my fxr the left side doesnt have the space to mount there anymore.


anyone know if this could be used in a class 3 rig?

my upper links look way off to stock will longer link cure this? my caster is set pretty far back aswell not sure if im saying that right but you get it

What's ur wheel base? 12.5 is what ur looking for for comp rules. Ur rear should be pitched back as far as it is forward, So yes longer upper links or shorter lower links, depending on ur wheel base. an ur front doesn't look to far off... If only you had one more hole to move ur uppers forward.. my .02 from what I have read an what I run.

rear axle needs to be clocked back quite a bit, the front axle you are going to want the pinion to be level or maybe just a tad up or a tad down on the axle caster.

did you have to do any thing to make that chassis fit or what??

 

[idk]

no it was bolt on. i think 70mm links is what creeperbob used im gonna try that and see if that helps. im still waiting on my cvd update and wheel bearings anyway

 

[idk]

ok got it all back together but now my rear wheels will spin freely by hand and go with throttle but as soon as there is any pressure apply like holding the tire or being on the flat ground it will not spin. both wheels spin when i turn them by hand of the ground. what is this? i didnt remove anything past take in axle out? left the chubs back alone when i put on my cvd update.

Did you tighten ur set screw to ur drive shaft? Cause what I'm understanding is the wheels turn by hand .. and by throttle in the air? Not when in hand or on the ground tho... Need more info. For me anyway..

X2....drivelines first check

duh damn why didnt i check that frist. thanks guys i like the chassis by the way i put the shocks in the stock location and it works for me. not any better than the stock tvp but still able to do the lines i could before and it wasnt as top heavy as i thought! think i want some scale shock like the gmade's

 

[matt115k]

I was also thinking about putting the Gmade shocks on my integy cage but the only issue is that the only Gmade internal spring style shocks are way too short(90mm) the stock shock length is about 118mm and bottomed out they are barely 90mm lol

 

[idk]

Ya I was lookin at that lastnight myself I wanna find some shock that look like chris king coilovers!

ya i was looking at the really skinny ones they would make the cage look pretty scale

 

[idk]

yea i agree. so it wasnt my driveshafts but my rear diff. the pins craved out the plastic about 6-8 mm each. so i guess new diffs or jbweld. would a locker prevent this in the future

 

[matt115k]

my diff locker ring pins stripped out the diff too so i just filled them with jbweld and took out the stupid ring lol just when you jbweld them put the grease on the axles so that they dont get stuck in there when you line up the gears

 

[idk]

is there a certain grease type to use for the tranny? plug fll out and sand is there gonna need to regrease

 

[89lxmorepower]

Clean it out good reassemble put plug back in gears are made from self lubricating plastics

 

[idk]

wow i did not know that! thanks

 

[89lxmorepower]

ya man no prob i just read that in someone elses thread they lubed there gears and then they stripped out so someone else told them they are made of self lubricating plastics.

X2...good call...89xl is exactly right
