Kyles REVAMP!!!!

crash2 · Dec 22, 2007

Well kyle went to his first comp with his uncle--and had a blast. Well as I already knew--his rig wasn't up to par really--and thanks again to Double J--he hooked kyle up with a new chassis.

So here is kyles rig currently

And his new chassis

Let the GAMES begin...

While out on patrol---kyles rig got hit by IED :fawkdancesmiley:

Got the pede tranny mounted in the new chassis

Since on the old chassis I had to use some 8/32 screws and I wanted to use 6mm bolts--I decided to just drill thru the tranny and use nuts on the back side

And I decided to countersink the bolts into the skid plate

And now time to figure out the lower link bar mounts.....

VMGontheRocks · Dec 23, 2007

Looking good. You might want to get some servo plates to mount the upper links on.

I do that occasionally.

crash2 · Dec 23, 2007

Got the lower links done :awesomework:

VMGontheRocks · Dec 23, 2007

Looking good. You might want to move the steering link above the knuckles.

All that bent up stuff getting re-done too :awesomework:

VMGontheRocks · Dec 23, 2007

Nice! It is going to be a full blown comp crawler.

crash2 · Dec 23, 2007

I got the servo mount/link mounts done....

VMGontheRocks · Dec 24, 2007

Nice! I assume you made those yourself. Those look way beefier than the servo plates I have.

crash2 · Dec 24, 2007

Got the upper links done....

It twists up pretty good now :eeek:

I tore the shocks down and cleaned-oiled tham up. Not sure if I will keep them pr replace them to what I have so we can play with the spring rates..

But in any case the chassis is now done and al I have to do is mount the battery pack/esc and reciever...
