[88gtanotchback]

wow, thats some parts list. top notch sounding build bud, cant wait to see it!

 

[frddyj]

I'm liking those tires.

had to rep you on making the plate to mount your steer servo lcg to the tvp.

this is gonna be a sweet savage right here.

 

[Shaun]

cant wait to see it finished, keep us posted my friend!!!

 

[GRKSTL]

you should flip the servo around so the top threaded piece faces the back of the chassis. It was make it easier make a linkage with less angle.

I like the build

 

[rjsl-xl]

made up my throttle linkage, not real happy with the way it turned out but not bad for 10 beer I think.

steering linkage is ok has no angle whatsoever and I think will be plenty strong, going to remove and CA glue it when I get it set up perfect.

Sorry for the pic's were takin with my phone.

 

[maximusraylius]

nice!!! should weigh it when complete and weigh the xl .. show the difference in weights ... looks good ..

 

[rjsl-xl]

Waiting on parts so I figure I'd tackle the radio box. Still some clean up work on the battery level gauge cut out but a good start.

This is how I think I will mount it to the side of the tvp with the battery at the bottom to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, just have to make another aluminum plate as I want to keep the holes drilled out of the c/f to a minimum.

 

[Mickey]

looking good so far rj. cant wait to see the final product

 

[rjsl-xl]

well no parts showed up and was bored and decided to mount the radio box and battery and mount. Sorry for all the pics guys.

 

[scarab lou]

[rjsl-xl]

nice i like the carbon fiber what mill are you going to run

Thanx Lou, runnin a SH pt28xm-p8 8 port modified bt Robin at Extreme RC Mods and one of his pipes, Here is a pic of the new pipe, his work is as amazing as usual.

My race number is 69 so I asked him if he could put it on there somehow and it came out awesome!!!

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Great build RJ. I hope i get enough money from my income tax to get some PRC is Jason is still around :dunno:
Great minds think alike ~

 

[rjsl-xl]

Nice key chain, I have one too. Was a
.26 outa my aftershock. He's still around email him at his website tho usually answers by the next day at the latest. He's a very easy guy to deal with and makes top notch parts and his shipping rates are the best I have ever seen.

Mine was from my old K4.6.
Yeah ill find out how much i get back in the next month or two and ill send him an e-mail, haven't seen him on the site lately that's all. Nice race number btw

 

[rjsl-xl]

Well I did a test fit tonite on everything except the electronics turned out not to bad, still waiting for my bulk's and engine plate as well as my tank and body and wing. Oh yea and upper ofna shock mounts. Lol never ending it seems.

Sorry about the horrible pics, I cant find my camera and usin my phone.
Thinkin on ordering the prc roll bar, I don't like how far up the engine sits, n e one use one before?

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Seeing you have gone all PRC on this the extra $40 for the roll bar wouldn't be much, but i bought this one for my flux and it looks great for $14.

Here are some pictures of the bar

I have no pictures with the battery boxes off but i push the handle down and used the bottom holes of the tranny to mount the bar as it sat way to high IMO.

 

[rjsl-xl]

Got it all together except for my prc engine plate and bulks, usung stock hpi for those at the moment and my shoock mounts body and wing are yet to come.

i bolted my prc side pieces together and cut them down low-profile. fit right under the truggy bodies now.

 

[rjsl-xl]

Well I did another change to the throttle linkage, I had the horn close to the mixer and didnt like how the throttle linkage acted when braking so I turned the servo around and I really like how this one turned out.

AFTER

 

[rjsl-xl]

Ran the SH today for 5 tanks, all I can say is WOW!!! This thing is going to be stupid. Robin is the master I would have ran it longer but my Integy engine mount broke three screws that hold the side plates to the main plate last piece of Integy s@#$ I ever buy. My tranny needs major adjusting I can't waite for it to warm up so I can finish breaking it in and get to really see what she has. I will post some pics of the mount when I tear it down.

 

[88gtanotchback]

good to hear, i got eh same sh modded by robin, yet to run it tho. the picco was sick, but i wanted to try an lrp style engine.

 

[Pope]

Nice looking truck. Get it broken in then lets see some vids.

 

[rjsl-xl]

Thanx Pope, I will post some as soon as mother nature starts cooperating, Seem's like it's bin a life time waiting and now I hafta waite some more for all this snow to go.

[rjsl-xl]

ran another 5 tanks tonite with no problems to speak of, so I think its time to bolt on the skid and finish breaking her in and runner hard.

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]
