Tug Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Not yet, at dad's this weekend so its not with me. Reading my post again what I meant to say was that you'll be impressive with this system. It runs so cool! The ESC was cold after 10 mins of hard bashing. The RX8? How good is it? Would love to run my MMM against it to get a good comparison.

tectic Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Another up date on the project Trying to get time to work on it is difficult. the steering system was next built i used an RD Logic steering saver with a ST Racing singgle servo arm and attatched Traxxas lightweight turnbuckles and aheavy duty spring. Next was to install the single servo i used a Hitec HS-7950 TH mega torque servo Which just happened to fit right in with my colour scheme. A red anodised front bumper was installed from RC Raven. Then the drive train was completed by installing Traxxas centre driveshafts. This turned out not to be as easy as the instructions said i had to remove the front suspension to engage the dog bones as there was not enough play in the transmission with it unbolted to get the dog bones into the drive cups. once installed the under side skid plates were installed i used the standard traxxas centre skid plate and ST Racing front and rear skid plates. Then the underside was finished off with a GPM Racing red anodised servo protector. next the 17mm wheel adapters were installed on to the axles. and finally the wheels and tyres were installed using RC Raven red anodised knock off wheel hub nuts My project has almost grown up as it can stand on its own feet now ! as my new Lipos have arrived the ESC wiring harness was also finished to allow the 2 SMC Lipos to connect to the ESC.
