lol " um are those teeth?"

 

[tdodm]

yeah i needed some extra side bite lol

 

[tdodm]

well i got it running the other day...... seems to do very well inside my liven room and over my son lol
i can see some changes i have to make to it allready.... one of the links rubs on the gear housing so i can see that will need some fgrinding... i am also gunna take off the stock dust covers and replace them with tape and i need abit deeper stand off for my rims( just usen some old dh's with the hex cast on them)... they rub the shocks abit... though i hear thats normal....
and i need to grond out the knuckels and tubes for more steering throw


and with it all wired up battery esc and rx in it if u set it on its side it still wont tip over

and im not totaly sold on slapping in a punk dig anymore.....clodstall can be usefull some times.....
im also now thinking about getting the axels milled down too for more clearance and i plan on getting some light weight rims so i can run heavy or light with a rim changex

looks good and yeah grind the knuckels helps some and clock the axels with the clocking jig if you have one will help even more

TDODM, hey you still got this bully? it sure looks like the one i jus traded for lol. did you decase the sidewinder an did you ever run 3 cell thru it? also where you get the delrin links from? i will get some pics up on here soon,( doing a rebuild on it) .

 

[tdodm]

traded for a blitz? lol if so yeah that was me... the derlin links came with the chassis but i have a full setup for maken links if yer interested( threaded bits to put into delrin rod,rod ends,a drill bushing and all the bits and taps to do it)

 

[crawlernut]

LOL, thought so, yea i traded a scx-10 for it from axialjeepster(thank you) i love it, crawls alot betterthan my xr-10, just was wondering about the links,an if ya run 3 cell in it, just alittle rewiring an my bug body,thats about it, funny how stuff gets traded back an forth.

 

[tdodm]

lol yep.. did u get both sets of tires/rims with it and the tripple stage foam kit?

 

[crawlernut]

YEA,custom cut an shut pins on dirty harrys,an rovers on narrow vanquish wheels an the extra bodys an foams.
