Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted March 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 Well, i have been at it since 0600 this morning, had this little rig in a lot of bits but.........................now sporting Axial axles front and rear so now got strong UJ joints on front rather than weak CVD, also the stock outputs from motor to axles were naff so a better set of shafts and new shocks tweaked, tweaked some more and fitted and seem a big improvement. I do have a set of 15mm brass hex extenders but i guess i have to drill the hole in the wheels to allow the sleeve bolt to fasten 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Top job 👍🏻 It’ll be much better being able to run it without the fear of snapping the cvd’s . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Great fun these little rigs 👍🏻 Seems to run and look much better with the Outlaw wheels/tyres on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, as you know i can be a bit "critical" but i am loving this rig, to a point i dont see me driving much else, i have already used it a lot more than the good but unloved DC1 only thing i can pick fault is noisy transmission but i am going to rebuild the original FS trans and fit that in time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Good vid mate 👍 Just wondering if it would benefit from some low down brass weight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 @Jack Reacher Made a few changes to mine mate but the main one that may be of interest being I’ve lengthened the wheelbase from 310 - 355mm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Nice mod, i have considered doing this on my rig but kinda like it at the native wheelbase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 I have two little issues to sort on this truck, the transmission is really noisy despite being opened up, greased and mesh set, this is earmarked for replacement at some point, also the steering angle is more on the right less on left, hoping i can move the servo horn one notch and re trim to fix this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set mine to max then set the epa for full through left/right. Edited April 3, 2022 by tomr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 The large outlaw wheels/tyres were causing an issue, i had to reduce steering rate as tyres were fouling on the front dampers, i have a set of nice alloy wheels with fake kanyon trail tyres so these went on a treat plus add a little more low down weight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
