maybe you could post larger pics on Photobucket so we can view it in all its high resolution glory...

 

[strodedawg]

We can use it as a reference point now

 

[strodedawg]

have photobucket account now, how do i post the damn things

the build is easier than posting pics

 

[Deluge]

Upload the pics, click on the pic you want to post and it'll give you some link options on the right hand side. Just paste the IMG code into the message and post it.

Awesome build, great work and i'm sure more to come. By the way, what shocks are those? And are they all same size?

 

[strodedawg]

sweet maybe the pics will be larger if i use photo bucket, no time tonight need to work on my 1/8th onroad for next week

Nice build, Ol'fart is the man...

 

[bigfol]

What are you going to use as a for a servo saver????

 

[strodedawg]

ol' fart has an idea of a servo mounted saver i would like, its just a matter of producing it. very big sticking point, looking for other options right now

will finish rest of build when driveshafts come in

 

[redthomas]

For the servo saver, I think my back draft 8e uses a servo mount that moves.. I noticed it while changeling the servo.. it flexed while working on it..just a idea.

Nice build. I just placed a order for some 2mm and 4mm graphite. to make my shock towers and center brace.

Your doing some great work. You have my attention!

 

[twissted]

I was looking at the losi center diff. But after looking at what they are doing to the Losi 5ive to get better performance I stayed with the stock set up. Your set up is better for the street though.

 

[strodedawg]

thanks for the good words.

the center diff will have some set-up issues to sort out, but now i have the option of locking it or leaving it a diff. my local track will also be running a 5th scale tri race - off road, oval and onroad - compete on each track for total points. they did it it with sc trucks was awesome. it should be a very flexible layout.

just put in some tekno rc wire guides and my receiver box w/ receiver pack ...... need to find a better camera for clearer pics

Hey Twissted.....where did you get your graphite sheets from?

Thanks

 

[twissted]

I got them from ebay. the cost of shipping is something I'm trying to work out with him. he charged me 18.00 in shipping and them again on another sheet and it only cost 16.38 to ship both. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170982812417?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648

 

[TXflycat]

Thanks for the link. Are you using it on your XBe-T build? If so, in addition to the support panels you made, or did you decide to use this material instead?

Cheers
