Larsen's Hybrid Savage Mutt Build

[Larsenracing]

Hopping it will be done soon.

 

[Combuster]

got any updates larsen

 

[Larsenracing]

Yup, I got all the parts now its just to find a few so I can get it put togather. Should be very soon.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Sweet looking forward to seeing the end result!

 

[savagecole]

that should be a sweet truck when its done. very nice

 

[Larsenracing]

Well I got some updates, Did some work on it tonight and got quite a ways. just needs a receiver and the throttle linkages need some help along with a little fuel line and mounting of the pipe and she will be wrapped up and ready to run. So lets here your comments along with here's some pictures of the progress.

Early tonight and with out wheels/tires/motor.

Tonights end.

It will probably get a different motor but will run this for a little while. Gear is 15/47 with 2 speed, Integy Alum Shoes. I will also strap the battery up front on the shock tower with my PRC180 Rush Battery Box Mount and the Rush Box HPIA349. Steering servo is Hitec 5625MG and throttle/Brake is a HPI SF-4, which will probably go digital at some point but I have other servos that will go digi first. The Pipe it will start out with is a Team Losi RTR Pipe from a LST2 which is supposed to be an alright pipe.

I will continue to post the updates!

Lookin sweet Jason, really like that wing mount.. Have to put that on my list of things to get..

 

[Os.savageboy]

Looks awesome! love that it has no purple and really like that wing mount.

Also one question, I cant seem to get on the SMF store website. It keeps telling me that its forbidden. ive tried multiple ways to get on it but still says the same thing. Got any ideas?

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Any more progress?

 

[Larsenracing]

Na man not enough time. Hopping with in the next few days. I need to order a Pipe mount which should be done in the next day. Then Just install a receiver. Probably just going to throw a 72mhz on it I got laying around for now.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Sweet figure out a motor for this beast? Cause isn't the axial from the carbon truck?

 

[Larsenracing]

Ahhhh Have you seen Page & toward the Top. Its about 95% done.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Yeah I seen that so all ya need is a radio and pipe mount?

 

[Larsenracing]

Yup and the Receiver pack. May just run AA's for a bit thought.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Sweet so how much money is in this truck? That is if you don't mind me asking

 

[Larsenracing]

Ive spend $200. But had a lot of the parts already. A few of the larger purchases I had to buy were the Front and Rear XL Diffs and housings (Ebay), Integy Rear Hub Carriers, Flywheel, Clutch Shoes, Steering Digital Servo, XL DB's, XL Out-Drive Cups w/spacers.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Yeah I remember you saying you were doing most of it with spare parts. Not a bad truck for only $200!

 

[Larsenracing]

That list nor the price includes the PRC112, The hellfire Tank nor the Wing mount stuff. So there is an extra ~$70.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Well you made that stuff so its basically like you already had it.

 

[Larsenracing]

Well I made it one step further today. I mounted the battery box to the front shock tower, using a PRC180 and HPIA349.

 

[turboit]

Looking great Jason! love the de-anodizing and the slick firestorm battery box mount... hmm may have to pick up one of those badboys from you....God I feel like my truck is costing me a million dollars and its not even together lol. Question do you have to use the XL driveshafts with the XL axles? I have the FLM hd axles so I'm contemplating getting the XL axles for a lil more stability

 

[Larsenracing]

Yes it is using the X center shafts and the XL out drives to the wheels.

I run the FLM HD Axles on a 1 of my other trucks and will be switching the other soon to them.

 

[Larsenracing]

Well I got the final build complete. All I need it a switch with the standard Futaba ends on both. The Linkages are of poor quality but will probably be replaced with time along with some other clean up but it's good enough to start with. Pictures below.

The CDE pack that went into the build:

And yes i'm finally going to destroy this body.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures the camera was about to die.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Looks good Jason!
