Anyone into R/C?

No turning back



I masked the lower part of the windshield in case glue spills out onto it.

Also used painter's tape to keep off any glue that may spill onto the chassis mounted magnets.

 

it’s far from a comp rig but it’s very stable. With wide axles and crazy wide wheels it’s fun to goof off with. It’s now on a set of hardpark wheels but still quite wide.

 

How long does it take for the e6000 to set? Never used it before

 

Oh for sure that's what I meant, she would probably hug the side of a wall like crazy lol

But I can't go wide as suggested! It's a dedicated comp build.

 

24 hours, but the garage is much cooler so I hope that doesn't affect it's cure time significantly.

I'd keep it in the house but it off gasses like crazy.

 

I usually let it set for 24 hours same for shoe goo.

 

just went out to the garage. To compare width on a couple of our crawlers. As the sit I have the following

Furitek cayman 130mm width
Gladiator w Super8 at 140mm
Kiddio’s deadbolt at 125mm
Furitek rampage (green Jeep) 127mm
Shorty c10 at 120mm width

 

Sheesh those sound wide

I'll measure mine tomorrow once the glue cures

This one isn't a basher so I need to adhere to regs for competing - never done it before so I wanted to give it a try

 

I'm at 130mm wide.
Speaking of bodies, LHS only had one in stock, pink Bronco. It's still there.
Ordered the Injora Baja bug, should be here next week.

 

Can't wait to see how the bug looks, I've heard great things so far

 

if I flip the hardpark wheels it becomes 120mm width but it rubs badly on the shocks.

 

Man, I don't wanna wait 24 hours to play with the new crawler

 

Exactly what I was thinking sick it's finally together, fuck I gotta wait for the glue to set

 

Another trim on the sillycone, one more ring to go.

wire tucked under the plate, the O-rings pull double duty keeping them out of the driveshaft and battery hold down. Running a different lipo that's closer in size to the 3s on the way.

all cleaned up. I'm gonna run mine.

 

Looks clean!

I've been thinking about putting my ESC on the other skid like yours.

It's just the damn servo wire is so long.

 

@Deathbysnusnu

Before I forget, make sure you toss some loctite on your servo bolts! Whether it's the bolts for mounting it to the servo tray or the horn itself.

Freaking torque on the 99Micro loosened up the hardware even though things were pretty tight on there.

 

I folded/tucked the servo wire between the trans and the RX on the skid.

 

Spiral twist the cable around a driver

 

I'll get a pic in 24 hours

What I did is I used a small wire tie and wrapped it around one of the holes on the chassis to keep it tucked away from the motor and shock but I do like your method.

Wire from the ESC to the RX I went ahead and wrapped with techflex and now that it's stiffened up, it stays neatly tucked under the front magnet mount.

 

That's what I normally do. The only one long enough to twist is the servo, and it cleared better with a tuck.
