Travis... Get some links made up and use that tuber dude....
idk i like the bmv chassis and want to try thatone out first i added weight and its much better on flex
kk





So i tore open my entire diff and yhe only thing I saw wrong was that there wasn't grease in it. So I reassembled it and greased the ring and pinion real well.. Hopefully this helps.
My comp rig is back in operation... and I think I tracked down why I was having problems with teh dig at the comp... the servo doesnt seem to be going to the same end points everytime, I cant tell if its the servo or the radio though...

I take it that the Futaba ESC works? :joy:
any ways to get more steering out of my tlt axles?
they make better clearance C's...rc4wd carries them I believe. add a rear Dig, that will help you turn allot faster

heres my crawler!!! yay for me lol not even close to done. just have some tlt axles locked diff and moved link mounts.
didnt you hear....TLT axles dont work well for crawling, you should just give them to me...... Big Grin


Sunday I ripped my truck apart, moved the tranny over 1cm to line the DS up better, which them meant I had to build a new dig. I also switched out the front shocks and trimmed up the front axles (yes Ponch I actually listened to what you said)
Good news is, the truck seems to work better than before.
Bad news is, I cant get my brake to stay together, dang CA just doesnt want to hold. And the front axle is clicking realy bad....makes me wonder what I broke now Sad

FYI clod axles are on their way....2.2 stick hear I come!!!

o yea i forgot....not. i think your a lil :crazy:haha ive had these sitting around for a very long time. i dont know what chassis to get. i need one quick though, from what i hear LHR is building a crawler section :joy:
I can think of a couple good Chassis...iA or Talon would work best I think.

I wish Bernie would contact me about when he wants the work day for the course @ LHR...
do you have a link or sumthin to those chassis?
iA is HERE!!! - RCCrawler.com Bulletin Board

Introducing the Talon Bodyless Chassis "Buggy" - RCCrawler.com Bulletin Board

I hear the vendor for iA is looking for a tester for it, You'll have to agree to some stipulations for sure but it would be worth it.
I really like that talon chassis. I was waiting to see jeff finish a course before I bought one though lol jmwy Jeff hehe. I'm thinking of changing things up a tad and I for some reason love the looks of it. My current one doesn't have that many diffrent setup options.
any one got some spare link mounts for a tlt forsale?
The uppers? I could look though they may be kinda hack.
what do they look like I have a ton of tlt spares
they are the silver mounts on the axles

-see my pic for example

I finished both runs @ rc hobbies!!!! Dont blame the chassis...its my crappy prep that has been killing me but, thats going to stop. I tore Talon completly apart last night and its getting an r2d, losi shocks etc...all the good stuff for once.
