Hell horn. Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Making some better front lower links. 5mm steel rod cut to length. Bent to fit my set up. Got to wait for my replacement drill bits and rod ends now unfortunately. But should be good once done. 80mm long. Bends to clear drive shaft. Sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Right. After a massive amount of rage. Ha. I got the hamburger gearbox in correctly and all linked up. Drive shafts where a pain to get right. But all done now. Next job is order more tube to make links. As the last pair I made snapped as I was threading them. Need to have another go. Fingers crossed I will have an amazing set of wheels for this. Some time soon. Also got a pair of traxxas shocks coming so I can mod them for the front. Get it spot on hopefully 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Thanks dude. Lost definitely. Bit of a slow burn this. To get it spot on. Once I have my wheels and sorted. I will be ordering a few pysho pat parts for it. Then it will be just about done. Until I rebuild it again. Ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Definitely. I never finish a build. Always something else to get for it. That next upgrade or shinny new part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 My bargain shocks arrived this morning. A pair of traxxis 2660s. Time to mod them for this build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 After a crazy amount of messing with link and shock lengths. I think it's finally spot on. Next Job is remake the links and set shocks up right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 This is an older set and still super nice shocks. At some point I will get dravtec ones. But won't be for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Half this car is from him now. Lol. Gearbox and front/rear link mound for the Ar60s. Plus a few smaller bits. Will be ordering more stuff in the new year for it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 More work done on links. Loads of messing around with spacers. Rod ends and spacers. But I believe I finally got it the links 99% right now. Doing the front links. Having loads of issues with them. Snapped drill bits inside them. Droped one and it managed to fit perfectly between a gap in the floor. Managed to cut 2 nicely. Drilled out with new bits. Perfect. Tap one end. Done. Tap the other and the tap snapped off in the link. Lucky I got it out. So I have one done. Now have to wait until Friday so I can order some new m3 taps for it. Everything is not going so well. Once I have some more taps. I can finish them off. Cut some m3 bolts down as grubs. And they are done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 just think, once it is all set up and done and nothing else needs doing then you will feel the satisfaction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 I know. But I'm not sure it will ever be done. None of my rc stuff has ever got to that stage. Always something to upgrade or adjust. But this one is definitely getting closer and closer to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
