I like gmade. here's my sawback with driver Sandy Smithers. I use teraflex revolver shackles for more articulation on the leaf springs. Great fun overall but not very competitive.

thx stormbringer !

Here's my Enduro PowerWagon with modified utility bed (longer, narrower) plus some extras....

Hi Carl, thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us. I'm so tempted by the Ultra. I would like to run the 2300 axe, too. Maybe -if I get my bonus next month- i will pull the trigger..... Cheers Thomas, currently running a leafed Sawback...

Hi Carl, Ultra is looking great. Whats your verdict comparing the Ultra vs. Trx4 especially regarding capabilitys? Could you make a shootout between them maybe? Cheers Thomas

PM on its way

Looks like you finally can have crazy brushless fun , too !

It will be a scratch buildt Landy , after months...

"FastEddy" explains it here.

just loop the velcro over the upper chassis bar through the triangle recesses. If the battery sits on a foam and is about 5cm in height it will be fine. Castle Creations recommend it that way

Hi, I'd like to start my next project with a leaf spring chassis like rc4wd tf2 or gmade sawback, wheelbase 278. No wheels, no body. Electronics maybe.

btw I'm rather tempted by the kraken maxxxis tires...but i guess then i would have to gear down....

I think on 6s it is still possible to handle but on 8s i guess it will be hard to tame that kraken beast.

i've only ran mine several times on 6s in 2017.... will try 8s 6750mAh this year. I have no comparison to gassers as me and my buddies are all on batteries. Next time will be on 6s but with sand paddles in the gravel pit !

These might be an expensive but possible solution for a "25mm cup/ 5mm Pin " setup: http://www.teamphatdadrc.com/product.sc?productId=56

I guess the dogbone ball is too small in diameter diffside, too. It seems you have the 25mm diff cups and 20mm drive axle ? This is from the HPI website: Also available are the Super Heavy Duty parts that made their first appearance on the Baja 5SC truck! These include extra-strong 9mm thick dogbone driveshafts and the axles & outdrives to fit the dogbones. You can also get a pre-built Complete HD Alloy Diff Gear Set fitted with the Super Heavy Duty Diff Shafts! #104963 COMPLETE HD ALLOY DIFF GEAR SET (BAJA 5SC) #104965 SUPER HEAVY DUTY DIFF SHAFT 25x48mm (2pcs) #104966 SUPER HEAVY DUTY DRIVE SHAFT 18x116mm (2pcs) #104967 SUPER HEAVY DUTY DRIVE AXLE 25x70mm (2pcs) The Super Heavy Duty parts must be used together because of the diameter of the dogbone. The rear arm may need to be trimmed for clearance of the dogbone as well, please check this carefully to avoid drag or binding in the drivetrain while driving.

slipper was not made for brushless flux. i was in contact with Castle Creations support on this topic., too.They told me just to watch esc temp and motor temp after the first runs.. 6s cant stress the mamba xlx 2028 combo. Also the xlx esc has the ability to set a max amperage e.g. 200A. Hope this helps.

I run a 14 t pinny 57 t hostile spur, 800kv castle 2028. my Kraken Baja '5K' weighs more than 13kg:

I did a red Proline Blazer body für my Savage Flux few weeks ago - not perfectly sprayed but I will bash it anyway. i used Tamiya PS15 rattle can and these RC4WD decals : http://store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Chevrolet-Blazer-Decal-Sheet-Set-for-Chevy-Blazer-Body_p_5306.html Thomas

Product Descripton Kraken Maxxis Trepadors Tires are a collaboration project between Kraken, MAXXIS and Levi Shirley. These scale tires are modeled after the 1:1 tires driven by Levi Shirley on his ULTRA4 rig "Loretta" in the King Of the Hammers race. The treads are aggressively engineered for off-road domination as seen at KOH. Coupled with our newly engineered compound of hybrid foam and rubber inserts, these tires will take your 5th scale rigs to the next level in terms of scale and performance. Tires measure 240mm or approximately 8 3/4 inches in height and 72mm approximately 2.9 inches in width and would fit any truck size 1/5th scale wheels. These tires are L & R directional, please observe the "Arrow" when installing them.

just found these on KrakenRC.com: Best looking 1/5 true scale tires imho see also View full news article

Hi OHO, I already have them installed.... I think I have to change piston and/or oil weight. But I read that 16 hole piston with e.g. 40wt is no good - searching for a trusted jump setup now...In the bash shown in the vid above you can see me for a split second inspecting her finding both rear shocks gone off the upper ball ends !

After upgrading to RPM rear arms (because the bottom shock screw ripped the stock arm) I went out with her again.... I definitely need to change the rear shock setup to avoid bunny-hop landings - any hints for vvc shocks ? (piston holes vs. shock oil vs spring rate)
