stimpy Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Rob - depends on what is limiting the flex! Flex it up and see what is causing your limit; is it shocks,?, is it the tyre?, are the links hitting the chassis?, are the links binding... Once you find that out then you can adjust from there... But do bare in mind that too much flex doesn’t aid actual performance - but does look cool!.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post monkeyboy_uk Posted May 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I sold my first crawler a few years ago and had to some serious regrets. Luckily I managed to buy the same one again recently. Edited May 21, 2020 by monkeyboy_uk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DartmoorTrails Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Sneak peak of a project i've been tinkering with over a month or so. It's a HG P802 cab married to a SCX10ii chassis which is still very much in production! Will have some extra paint in due course! Need to fab up a rock shield.... front bumper will be removed then; it's for something else that shares the chassis! The box was fabbed up with an inital 1mm plastic sheet and bent into shape, then a 4mm sheet laid on top, then a layer of checker plate, all finished up with alumium angle and bolted down. I've attached it (that box on the back) via normal body mounting posts which go into more aluminium angle which in turn holds the batteries. It's such a snug fot I needed to add grab rails! Simply bent up 6mm aluminium tube and bolted in, works well. The black cover directly behind the cab is something i've been working on with @CarlC who has kindly prined me out a test piece. This is purely for aesthetics but I may chuck this fuel cell up there for good measure. Please excuse the blurry pictre; my Pixel is very temperamental right now! The steel poking out of the sliders will be gone as well; they're for a Defender..... More pictures, becuase why not!! That's all for now.

stimpy Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 That looks bloody fantastic mate! But seriously.... You need to start build threads! And whilst your at it, pics of your course in the rock crawler section wouldn’t go amiss!!! 😂🤓🤓🤓🙀👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get my son to help with building up some ramps and bridges etc as he's show quite a flair with carpentry! 'er in doors did take half the course for a rockery which I'm not best pleased about; the plants get tangled up in the axles as i'm ripping them out, pesky fauna🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Yeah, my missus is on a loosing battle here! The main garden we play footy in - badly - then the front I like to jump the MT over the wall from the road 😂, then the bench / work area we generally trample on anything!! Haha... My boy has enjoyed building bits for our 1/24th scale trail track. Good to keep them busy!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimplops Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 @DartmoorTrails I do like that, thinking of building an off road truck, but based on a Mack of F650 if I can find either without paying silly money just for the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
