Anyone into R/C?

That's huge! What's the steering servo rated at?

 

@Strictlytoyz

I know links and shocks are supposed to be toyed with, finding the best way to go.

Just sucks trying to decide as a complete novice.

 

There's gonna be a whole lot of trial and error on this one. Gonna be playing with different mounting locations and lengths till I find what works best for me.

 

If I'm right in thinking those are the front link mounts, we really only have 2 spots.

Only 5 spots for the rear uppers.

 

I'll have a better idea when I get home and have everything infront of me. But from memory I believe you are correct. The product page I believe mentions the same thing.

 

Patiently waiting for @Kwikvette , @Deathbysnusnu , and @Strictlytoyz to FINALLY finish building their rigs and see some rock crawling action from the truckloads of parts they have been putting into their crawlers....

 

Hope you're enjoying the shenanigans.

Gotta go grab some milk for the kiddo otherwise I'll be back to make this thing a roller.

 

I try to get the links to sit level with the skid at ride height and the drop down at the axle. The thinking is that your tire will lift you over the links lowest point if further back to the axle.

 

That I’m not sure. Had a kick ass start up sequence

 

I did mine similar to his V2 cheat code. Front in the bottom like you have, rear was a guess off his video since the frames are different, but centered seemed like a good place to start. Eyeballing his video shows the rear about 8-10mm higher than the front.
He mentions going higher up increases anti squat.

It will prolly change as you dial in the pinion angles anyway, so maybe save the blue for when you get it where you want it.

 

Leftover piece that goes where the motor bell happens to sit. 10 degree skid might raise it enough, not sure what it's for. Motor towards the back raises more questions. Kit was designed around a motor forward install. Not sure if any motor would allow this piece to be installed.
Maybe it's just another mounting surface, it can be positioned in the very rear.
I did get the optional 10 degree skid and if the motor hits the links, I'll swap it out. I'm not doing this for comp, just for fun.

Clearance is tight, but it does clear.


slammed on ghost axles.

I'm done until axles arrive.

 

Right there with ya.

Rolling chassis so far, but I refrained from bolting in the remaining mounts or shocks.

 

Currently assembling mine

 

I'm sure I'll need to play around with the magnet mounts.

Not to mention the trays. The upper rear link hits the tray with the logo, but maybe the links don't even need to travel that far upward (since I didn't install the shocks yet).

 

Yeah I've been moving things around. Won't really know where things need to be till the bodies on and I have all my electronics

 

I'm just waiting for the freaking text from LGRP to say my transmission shipped

 

Did the bind and program card thing. Easiest programming ever. Prompted me to make some changes for later. Gonna switch to the KST servo over the RJX as it can handle 8.5 volts and achieve the same speed as the RJX with higher torque. RJX tops out at 7.4v, BEC goes as high as 8.4v. blah, blah, blah.
Motor. Spins. Incredibly. Slow.

 

So, I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record by asking but...what ESC do you have?

My TBI keeps me from remembering shit
