[]-[0pa]0ng]

Just like to Thank Everyone who did help out with this truck. Every little bit helped. The front page looks real nice. Looking forward to see this truck all together.

Good luck with it Mega.

[JohnH]

If you want to know how I mount the battery and receiver in the body you will need:
1 lexan scraps from a body
2 small torch
3 marker
4 5 cell hump pack
That is all. mark and cut the lexan in a T so that it covers most of the battery. use the torch to heat the plastic away from the battery. when it melts put it on the battery to bend your angles. use a piece of ice to cool it quick. drill the holes to mount it and test fit it. when it is what you want paint and done.

[CENTER]how do you award the truck? to the r/c winner of the WF?

[AllanQ]

If its the same as last year, it will be the long jump winner. Sorry Justin, didn't mean to answer for you. :resp:

[JohnH]

Yep look at the 1st post or the front page of the forum.............Fred must have just been looking at his name on the flyer.

[frddyj]

...Fred must have just been looking at his name on the flyer.

lol, thats about rite, i see it. sweet.

Servo mounted and linkages test fitted. Hint: keep all your angles as close to 90 deg.

[Larsenracing]

Very good work John. I also love how you mounted the battery and the Reciever.

[JohnH]

OK truck is totally apart again and waiting on the last orders. Went ahead and used Insta-Cure CA glue on the carbon fiber edges and screw holes. THIS IS A MUST..... If you use insta-cure with the little add on micro glue tips it will take maybe 10 Min to fully do a set of TVP's and add on parts. Where a glove on the hand you are gluing with for runs. if you hold the glue tip straw at a 30Deg. angle it will cover the entire edge in one pass. I say tips are a must do to how thin the CA is.

[Larsenracing]

This is a good tip but I am not sure it is a must. I have not done it to any of my trucks or any other parts have have never had a problem. I shouldn't say never as I did do the roll bar and shock towers just because they will run across the concrete when sliding upside down, LOL. It is a good thing to do though and is a rather easy process.

[Just Justin]

how do you award the truck? to the r/c winner of the WF?
http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu295/frddyj/usflag.gif

The truck is going to be awarded to the longjump winner. RCCA and Kershaw designs are doing the prize for the freestyle winner. The only other event that this truck might be a good fit for is the Steel cage match. Suggestions?

[frddyj]

The truck is going to be awarded to the longjump winner. RCCA and Kershaw designs are doing the prize for the freestyle winner. The only other event that this truck might be a good fit for is the Steel cage match. Suggestions?

only thing i suggest is having a 'crash-cart' on hand caz the winner may have a heart-attack right there. at least he/she would check out with a smile on their face.

wish i could make it down to hang with all you guys but gotta take care of the little 1's. take some good video for me tho.

[jcam54]

Looking good buba, I'm glad to have invested in this prize and site.

John im very interested in your linkage set up. How does it work? the mounts on the horn look stationary, or are they sliders? Hate to even bring it up caz your straight-out busy with the build & life, but some part #'s would be sweet.

also, the linkage rods look larger diameter than stock, are they?

[JohnH]

rods are stock diameter. horns are dynamite. The linkage components are ofna. The brake rod is from the savage kit. my son in helping me tossed the packages. I will go though l8tr tonight and pull the numbers for you.

[JohnH]

Had to change up a few things. First running OFNA Aluminum shoes. The trinity set up works and will go with the truck. It takes a truggy depth bell. It comes with a 13 tooth which isn't compatible with the motor or gear ratio unless your pulling stumps. The other thing was I was building this truck like someone who know about Savages would be able to work on. Bad idea do to if a Newb wins it. So I simplified the electronics routing. I drilled and tapped the GH front shock tower for 3mm screws. I then mounted the Rush battery box to it. No special brackets nothing. I then mounted the switch that Parker donated to the top of it. It is almost done. Body,Pipe and tires.....
Do to a binding issue with the front drive shaft I put a HPI CVD on the front. It is a little shorter than stock so it works perfect.

Looks sweet. I like that switch a lot from what I am seeing.

Truck is coming along nicely!!! Someone is going to be VERY HAPPY!

[No Limit RC of Ohio]

Anyone got a part number for the EXTECH clutch system with the clutch bell?

[JohnH]

PM sent Joe.

[Larsenracing]

Very great looking John. That thing has come a long way and you do very good work.

What made you change your mind about the placement of the battery pack?

[JohnH]

It came down to a maintenance issue. With the battery and receiver in the truck like I did hops if something breaks or you need to change out something it is a nightmare to pull it apart. it looks cleaner but it isn't user friendly. This is a lot easier to work on.

[88gtanotchback]

you put a lot of thought and time into this build mega and it shows. keep up the great work and give your boys a pat on the back for all the help too
:slapped: <----- like that but a lil lighter

[Os.savageboy]

mega truck looks awesome!

[godspeed1313]

[Just Justin]

Better not be a shelf queen. This is an amazing truck that needs to be driven.

PM sent. Will get you on the WF list as well.

[Purenitro]

If you run short on funds let me know, I can help you out if needs be. A truck that custom needs a good set of tools for sure. Maybe order an extra 2mm insert for the hex set, the green 5/64 doesn't quite cut it lol, just a thought.

[soulja]

[ryugaiden05]

Sorry Mega, do not see a donate button. I want to send money for this part http://integy.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=3601

[Larsenracing]

The donate button is up near the top of the screen and is GREEN.

[ryugaiden05]

Found it right after I made the post. Money is on the way.

[]-[0pa]0ng]

Won't be accepting any more donations. Everything has been taken care of.

I just hope Mega won't keep the tools for himself.:lmao::slapped:

Thanks to everyone who has helped in making this WF 09 truck.


Hop

[JohnH]

I'm telling you we got the best crew of any forum here........ It shows.

[]-[0pa]0ng]

Everything was just ordered. I'm going home:duh:

[JohnH]

The only thing left on the truck to do is add some clips and do some clean up work.
Then I will do a full picture set.

Man John that thing looks awesome.

[Scott]

Nice work there Mega... One word can only come to mind to describe that:



SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!

[BIGDAN89]

looks good just got one question how is the wing mounted and what stays you use ?

[Just Justin]

awesome, cant wait until i see it in person:)

[JohnH]

The techno wing mount was used. the spacers inbetween were narrowed a little to go through the inner most shock holes on the gh racing tower. then i marked and drilled 2 holes for the bottom mount. i used long steel screws with aluminum sleeves over them to give them a larger contact area.

[JohnH]

ok tools just came in. last thing is a glow igniter and temp gun.

[JohnH]

I bought the temp gun. glow igniter is taken care of by allanq i believe.
That is it. she is done.

[Jeremy]

yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Visionary]

just looking at those pics again.. I'm really loving this truck, furthermore whats up with the linkage setup for throttle/brakes.. Looks amazing

[AllanQ]

Ill be picking up the glow ignitor some time this week and will be giving it to mega at the dungeonat the dungeon

[AllanQ]

Here is the Glow Ignitor I picked up for the Forum truck. As you can see from teh pic its a racers Edge 4400mah ignitor. It will be charged and delivered to Mega at the WF's. I believe the truck is fully complete and congrats in advance to the long jump winner (me!!!!)

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh176/arquatro/DSC02112.jpg

[jcam54]

Not if I have anything to with it Allan...you might want to check your wheel nuts and set screws Chief...:lmao:

[]-[0pa]0ng]

Thanks Allan. Looking at the Registration list on the No Limit the Long jump has one of the longest registration list. Meaning lot's of folks are ready to hit the it for a chance at the WF truck from HPISF. One heck of a truck we all helped to build. Wish I could win it.

[hpi4life]

Very nice prize indeed! good job guys.

[soulja]

it looks AWESOME in person!!!! saw it today!!
