I've been more old school, with my trucks, for a long time...
Scx/ax axles, TF2, and AR60..

So this is all new to me!

Robbob spoke highly of this truck and is making parts for it, so I snagged one..

How it begun..

And we build...

Then we do shocks.. with Green slime! I'll save the triple o-ring mod, for a later date..

14t pinion is a little much, with the HH 13t and 4s! I like it though!!! It fits with the rest of my scale rigs. Beautiful crawling characteristics and Awesome wheel speed!

Good to see I'm not the only one that makes a mess with the Green Slime!

Good looking truck. I typically don't like 1.9's stretch onto 2.2 wheels, but they look great here.
 
Bulky package coming your direction tomorrow ....... gonna be a new years xmas next week :mrgreen:
 
Cool watching to see where this goes. Mine works great on pins lol
This one's going comp! Yeah, but your running doodoo's!
Try some Boss Claws!

Green slime is a must! GS and 3 o-rings, in all my plastic SCX comp shocks and they all hold oil! Lol..

I've had them tires stretched in them wheels for Year's! Never used em and I doubt they would ever be good for anything 1.9 wheels.. lol..

I switched that setup, for a set of beat 1.9 rock beasts, that I cut-n-shut to 2.2's.. (I'll get a pic tomorrow)

Got out with the Capra, for a bit, on Sunday..
Pretty impressed with it, at my dad's shale pit, in the rain..

are you done yet :twisted:

Enduro springs work mint for lowering the ride height from stock Axial ..... grab the Enduro .95 and .71 springs and they fit the red spring cups so they dont fall off while running. ;-)"thumbsup"

These are the softest
https://www.amainhobbies.com/element-rc-63mm-shock-spring-green-.71-lb-in-2-asc42087/p977610

and these are a step up
https://www.amainhobbies.com/element-rc-63mm-shock-spring-white-.95-lb-in-asc42088/p977611

They are the same diameter but shorter springs. Ive got the white .95 ones on Isabels truck and noticed a nice difference. Im going with the green .71 on mine.
 
I ordered the .95 Enduro springs..

Half hour ago, I sat down at the table..

This all started as stock links, got built, and then I needed a drag link...
9358e7246ce387cdea9f108714982782.jpg

Out came the bag of ti links, from years of chassis changes and builds..
I got a drag link and a tie rod(probably not the end result, but a good beginning)

Rear links.. didn't feel like I needed much for clearance..

Straight fronts..

And some Crazed Builds portal cover replacements..

Song with the optional hanger weights (for when I make it that direction..)

That's a good question! I have no idea, yet! Lol..
Stock, CCC, or a SCX... Is what I have on hand.. I haven't given the SCX trans a shot in the skid yet. That's today's project...

I want to get this thing on the rocks!

I have also considered the Dlux Ham or Cheez trans..
Not sure the cheez trans would work? Rotating the front axle backwards, isn't as easy as flipping the ring gear.

Ok.. SCX trans, it is!
While the stock Capra trans would work fine, it's a Beast!
The CCC trans would of needed to be spaced up 6mm off the skid, to work.
Which made the weight sit higher than the scx trans..

Getting it to the axles.. Old trustee!(well worn, so it doesn't hang up on the rocks)

Then cut some steering stops..

Will have to shave the arms, if I feel more steering is needed..

Battery tray.. the old servo mount.. just a temporary item, in that location..
