80mm-85mm shocks, stock scx is 90

 

Its gonna be a rocket

 

Yeah, that would be the simplest way, and it would cost me travel. You know me. I prefer to do things the hard way, screw shit up a few times before getting it right. I need to do some reading on how to properly setup a 4 link (There is def a science to achieving the correct amount of anti squat and whatever else) vs just making them all work without binding.

 

If u want travel/flex without ride height, you need to lay your shocks down more, look at comp crawlers or twin plate crawlers for example

 

@Tundra2Play if you want that belly scraper stance i think this will help...

The rear shock hoop is lengthened to accommodate a longer wheel base. Other shock hoops and the forward motor mount has also been adjusted for better pinion and drive shaft angles. The transmission skid has a more aggressive approach angle.

 

Also photos from last crawl meet where @Suprajim54 had to leave and go to HT as soon as we walked the trails and got to the rocks... @Tundra2Play and I stayed back to crawl a bit.







A couple from the solo crawl at the lake today...

 

@49erfan some components can be purchased waterproof, some have to be prepped, once prepped yes they can be submerged.


1/8 truggy build coming along, all im gonna get done today

 

some come waterproof from the factory. Only one i know that is completely sealed from the factory is the TRX4... which is a BAMF!

 

I’ve got them leaned as far towards the middle of the car as I can with the current mounting locations. I even moved the lower shock mounts to the outside of the lower mounts, as opposed to being sandwiched in the mount like they’re supposed to, so they have a slight lean in at the top compared to the bottom.

That chassis looks to be exactly what I would need!!! Buttttt, is have to figure out if/how to mount the wraith chassis to it. Will def look into it.

 

7 racers today. I finished 6th due to a DNF from another guy. Heat 3 was my best, still way off the top guys, but my best was within a few seconds of the slower veterans. Car ran great and was honestly fast enough for the track. Still gonna use the brushless motor once it comes in.

 

That looks pretty awesome, they gonna do the next one there also?

I didnt get home till about 4am, didnt stand a chance of making it to murphy by 8am.

 

Yes, this is the track until something else pops up. I know the racemaster said that he was going to check out an abandoned car lot.

The next one might be a night race at the same place in mid to late May. The guy has a pretty big yard and room to park multiple vehicles. He said he was thinking of also setting up a crawler course. Really nice guy. Not every firefighter from Murphy is a RC hating dick.

 

Made some good progress but still a lot left to do tomorrow night

 

Are you reusing a body or still have to paint too?

 

Nah this uses a diff kind of body, still have to trim and paint tomorrow also

 

Damn, I guess you will be busy. Good luck getting everything buttoned up by race day

 

All done

 

Damn that looks dope AF!

 

Next Rally Race is Sunday 5/20 at 8 am. Same place in Murphy.

 

sweet i dont see any reason why i wont be able to make this one
