Anyone into R/C?

The adapter piece for the 4-link is plastic and it comes in the setup.

 

Nope I stand corrected. It came with the dingo kit

 

yeah, but I dont need all the links since im running aluminum links already. cant afford to spend $75 on the kit, im in no hurry hurry, i still have my rtr honho to use.

my gf wont ride in my truck, it dosnt stay on the road when its wet out, iv been told to buy new tires for awhile, just been putting it off

 

I was not aware of this - bummer.

I could be wrong on that. it says it has everything to make it a 3 or 4 link

I read on rcc longer links were needed.

 

the monster max esc. second one i've blown this year. castle hooks me up though, just takes a while to get a new one. lol

 

I've read that too. I just got done installing the steering upgrade.

Links are next. I'll let you know!

Fink

 

Awesome

 

Axial makes two sizes of alum links one for the dingo (smaller wheel base) and a longer set for honcho

 

The kit comes with everything you need except the extra 4-link truss that is included with the spare parts you get with the truck.

Looks like I'll be 4-linked front and rear before the night is out.

Oh, forgot to mention, took the truck for it's maiden voyage on the 2.2s and it did awesome. I only have a very small rock pile on my back patio but it was able to take lines it never would have been able to with the 1.9s.

Also got the ESC and other electronics ballooned, marine grease in both axles and an o-ring and a little marine grease in the servo.

Haven't done the transmission yet - I've never been good with those. Always forget which gear goes where, etc...

Nice! the kit version dosnt come with the 4 link truss tho. Ill have to see what I need and make a order tonite to do a 4 link front and rear

 

That's a bummer! Looks like you can get them on eBay for pretty cheap.

Where did you get the aluminum links you have now?

Fink

 

They come with the kit version of the scx10

 

Shows how much I know. Damn.

I really need to disassemble the tranny and put some marine grease in there but I'm nervous...need more beer.

Fink

 

Haha, just rip it apart and if you fail to get it back together, then get more beer, if you succeed still grab more beer!

 

So wait...I need more beer, right? Done.

Maybe it's the beer, but the instructions for this link kit suck. It makes it look like the rod ends are straight, but they're actually angled. Thankfully my common sense is still going strong.

Fink.... I'm gonna need to get you into real RC if we meet up. You gotta stop playing with these two dimensional toys man!

 

That's where I'm heading next.

I was actually just looking up the helicopter you recommended me start with today - happen to remember? I wasn't able to find it but I only looked for like 10 minutes.
