Stock_Nitro Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Ahh right, yes I see now Sounds great, any more revisions planned or do you intend on testing further? Edited January 19, 2013 by Stock_Nitro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcaddict Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ahh right, yes I see now Sounds great, any more revisions planned or do you intend on testing further? I am going to keep this setup for now unless a change is needed. Currently these arms have cost me almost twice that of RPM just in material haha. The next step is this (cross drilling has not been done yet): Can anyone guess what it'll be used for? 10 Points for that man who guesses right!

rcaddict Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 A bit of an update, although this one is mostly cosmetic. there is also a bit of work for ESC/Receiver arrangement too. Really sorry for the poor quality photos my camera charger packed in! as a result I am using my phone (GSMARENA reckons the Xperia S has one of the best phone cameras on the market, What a load of BULL SHIZZLE) STEAMING hot bath of RIT dye! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcaddict Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) okay So I did something a bit stupid and proberbly dangerious but I rigged up a very rudimentary charging saddle to charge my 2s LiOn battery from my camera on my RC charger haha...But IT WORKED! So here are some better photos along with a picture of the new power plant. and the newly painted alloy rockers!

The Dark Knight Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Have you made any more progress? It is looking awesome Where did you get the big bore shocks from? Tempted to get another Revo VXL myself, first thing I'd replace is the shocks as the stock ones aren't any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shocks are modified TT-01 shocks, I changed the rod ends, pistons colars and the shock mounts. Ill get pics up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Seeing your work makes me feel silly for feeling good after ball-racing my DT-02 and fitting a 540. *imitates Wayne and Garth* "We're not worthy, we're scum". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcaddict Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys, this thread will be an on going thread, As I break stuff I intend to upgrade as I go into something that should be quite reliable in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19jas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Great build bud. Watching closely. Now you have the pattern for the hubs, arms etc are you planning knocking up some more to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have the pattern for the hubs, arms etc are you planning knocking up some more to sell? I could proberbly do the odd one or two but they are very time consuming and I could not compete with prices of those like RPM etc I think this may put a-lot of people off.

b19jas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The reason I am asking is due to a little build I got going on. I am making the best of what I got with my brushless mini summit and turning it into a sort of crawler. The truck could use more length and have been looking a the set back arms. And to put it more simply.... Yours are better.lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
