baddasz's truggified savage teaser

[Mickey]

ok badd the truck looks good but what did you do to the center diff brace?

 

[Jon]

it is cut and flipped to allow the pinion gear to fit inbetween them.

i would do the motor plate and servo plate in CF but i don't have the money for it. plus its not really any lighter then the stuff I'm using now so ill stick with this till i have some extra funds

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Try the hobby city carbon fiber you can get enough for what you need for 20 bucks and would make it look killer!

 

[texasavage]

Great thread badd! I can't wait to see it run! :resp:

 

[savage01085]

This thing sure does have a story behind it from what it was when you first got it. That would be a cool thread.

 

[Jon]

lol, it would be a cool thread but who would want to read at 10 page paper lmao. lol make like a story line

 

[Jon]

got some vid of the truck today. thing is a beast.. literally will smoke the tires right off of it..
the track is way to small for the truck but its still fun. i did end up racing it and doing a few launches off the jumps...

Nice! Thanks Jon!

That track is defently too small for you, still looks like fun though 🙂

rockout

 

[Jon]

sure was, looking forward to spring when i can really open this beast up.

ive been making afew more changes and will post them shortly... trying to perfect this thing so i can actually be reliable this year unlike the state it was in last.

 

[Hypnotiq]

looks like fun but you need more room to work... looks good though bad

 

[Jon]

well got some more work done to the truck... made a servo plate, wing mount, motor plate out of plexi... light and seems to be pretty strong, but time will tell.
it they turn out to be to weak ill bring them to the local metal shop and have them cut out of alum but until they break ill be putting them to the test!
i also thru on a 45 losi plastic center diff gear, put this to the test to.
new and improved

some new shoes thanks to a member on the board

under the hood....

ENJOY!

 

[Hypnotiq]

nice bad... what RSC you using?

 

[Jon]

not using a RSC that's the truggy suspension at work! lol.
remember this beast has x2 lower arms, hubs, knuckles, rear upper arms, shocks etc.

 

[Travis Mowery]

Hay bad who makes that pinion?

 

[Jon]

pinion is a novak 15T, i do NOT recommend them as i have had 3 of them prior to this explode... i only got it for mock up and its all the lhs had.
however i will say this one has lasted the longest so far with 20 mins of runtime lol

 

[Travis Mowery]

I'm running the hpi ones and have not had a problem. But my dads brushless with the 2650 on 6s keeps tearing them up

 

[Jon]

hmm i found the hpi to last the longest i mean they would wear down but i never striped the one i have. RR was next on the list.

i have a few from rc monster that i have not tried as they are a little to high for gearing but they look beefy

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

The new shoes look saweet!

 

[Jon]

Yup I'm Enjoying the new look!
Update the plastic spur is a no go, going back to metal

 

[maximusraylius]

Looks good. Did a great job on it. Keep up the hood work. Nice brain storming on it. Bash on buddy.
