[JeremyH]

Really! That would be awesome!

Thread a set screw into the RC4WD CVD and it will keep that pin from falling out when you take off the wheel."thumbsup"

Say stubs, what width are ya trying first for the skid? I was thinking of starting with a 30mm wide skid.
Are you planning on staying with stright uppers?

 

[stubs179]

I am going to start out 1 1/4" between the rod ends. I think that works out to around 1.5" overall of the chassis?

Ya, straight uppers. I think that will still let me get low enough and straight uppers can be lighter and still retain strength.

Cool, thanks for the reply "thumbsup".

Got it! Thank man.

Mocked everything up tonight and I really like it. I will get all of the screws I need this week and should have it back together by the end of the weekend. The shocks came out Awesome (thanks Geo) with his bitchin' spring cups.

I still need to make the delrin cross braces for the chassis, a skid, panels, dremel out the knuckles and mount the servo and link mounts to the Dlux tubes.

 

[DickyT]

That is looking great Stubs "thumbsup"

Looking good stubs...did you happen to check the difference in weight between the Bully tubes and the DLux tubes?

Not yet because I didn't have the C's yet. I will check tonight and report back.

I was expecting to see a lot more details on weight that you are pulling out of this piggy.

 

[stubs179]

What I got for now.

Stock axle.

Dlux tubes and Dlux milled gears/cases. 6.3oz loss!

Stock tubes vs Dlux tubes.

Sorry, my first love gets me distracted some times

 

[stubs179]

I am not sure why it is this much lighter? This is everything but body panels, steering links and skid. The knuckle weights and battery are in the wheels. Full electronics package on top. 6lb 14oz.

 

[Erik D_lux]

Huh, not sure but it looks good!

What was your rtr weight before?

 

[stubs179]

8lb 4oz

 

[TURBOFEST]

Awesome!!! I cant wait to get done with mine now!


P.s. cool bike! You dont ride that with flip flops on, do ya? :razz: "thumbsup"

 

[stubs179]

I am pretty stoked on it. It is coming in lighter than I expected. I still have heavy motors, steel screws and rod balls. I could lose a couple more ounces by going to Eric's wheels. I'm just not sure how much I want spend on it. I won a BRSL at nats so I really want to get one more to put in this. The mamba's I have in now are super old and they don't have dragbrake once you give it throtle. It is like a brushless. If I need dragbrake and to keep moving I have to use rear dig. It sucks for sidehilling because the front just digs down and won't hold the line. Sucks.

Nice start on your diet "thumbsup", what is the O.D. of your tires?

You're a twin sticker...just feed the rear a little less throttle than the front. ;-)
