Anyone into R/C?

Decisions, decisions



Also picked up limit straps and a mount for the front from lgrp

 

So, my hardware got here.

Was stoked to finally get it together...



Only to have issues mounting my motor? It rubs the frame ever so slightly

 

Are you moved over all the way? There's 2 different positions

 

There's only two positions, and yes I'm on the left set as you're looking at it.

I had just the transmission mounted up earlier today using the same holes.

 

Dam dude. I got clearance around my komodo. Probably the trans to motor mount is slighter further over on the lgrp trans. I can go in either sets of holes and still be fine.

 

Pic?

 

This is in the left set of holes with the front of the truck up

 

It's my transmission.

Fucking shit, spent $90 on two different LRPs and now this.

 

At least your driveshafts are the right length
I could be testing this thing already and getting it dialed but nooooooooo

 

for you all in the snow

 

Mine is also tight to the frame. Don't know what it's gonna do until it's on a suspension and flexes.

 

But we have the same thing, no? Or is the XL that much more spaced?

 

It's weird if it's an issue only for one of you...you two have the same motor and transmission.

 

After a second look it looks like @Deathbysnusnu has a fcx trans while I have an scx trans

 

Good catch, I just saw that with the laser etching.

Well, I just placed an order for the Furitek Micro Kumodo.

It's half the width practically, and it's what Joey suggested as I posted asking on the Mazz page.

 

I was gonna go micro but I saw complaints of it hitting the front links which is why I went mini. I'd look into that

 

The way Tyler made these links, it's supposed to add extra clearance.

I flex my setup as much as I could and even with the larger Mini, the links don't come close.

 

Well shit, I never noticed that, off by one letter.
I think I can get the SCX Mini Komodo motor mount alone and mate it to the transmission, going off Amain's pics.
There is a difference.
Edit, just noticed there may be a difference in the spur gear and just swapping mounts won't work.

 

Also, to add shit to the pile @Strictlytoyz

The bags aren't exactly labeled (the driveshaft bags) though it's easy to figure out what is what.

Regarding the Deadbolt driveshafts, I need the rear for my setup. Well, the Deadbolt rear driveshaft is too short to work well with my setup!

Using the Gladiator driveshaft I originally bought seems perfect although just to add a bit of wiggle room, I could chop off between an 1/8" to 1/4" if I want it a bit of extra room.

Moving onto the C-10 driveshafts, I need the front for my setup. The front drivshaft is the exact same length as my Gladiator driveshaft.

So I wasted time even buying these. I'll be returning both sets and running the Gladiator driveshaft set I originally purchased.
