OK people, the desicion was made not to strip and reanodize everything because of cost. So I decided to finish this truck.

Below are some pictures of where it sits as of this morning. I couldn't get it all done yesturday, but its coming along.

Enjoy

Nice pics!

Gives me some motivation to get out to the garage and finish mine rockout Thats if the kido's allow LoL

Are you going to flip the steering servo around or get a longer linkage? Is there an advantage to running like that?

That does kinda look like my setup, and also similar to how yours was. Thats odd, lol.
Looks good bob. Keep wrenching, and get that finished.

I will show you in a quick video. If you go to your LHS and get a DUBRO RACING KIT #2266 and a piece of 6/32 rod stock you will be able to make what I did. It is heavy duty and allows it to move freely without binding. The other reason I flipped it around is the angle of the short shaft I didn't like. I will be posting some pictures below.

Thanks Jeff, i really appreciate all the info on this one.

Linkage setup:

You can see there is a pretty sharp angle. The dubro kit is mad for planes and is heavy duty. I has brass ball ends and also has this tappered piece that allows for more angle with no binding.

Let me know if you need more info.

 

[GRKSTL]

here is a youtube video of the setup, you can see no binding.

After a week of being outof town I got to work on it yeturday evening and this is where it stands. Pay close attention to the modified reciever box to accept a switch with charge jack.

 

[pete3091]

I'm digging the antennae mount. got a link? :sport-smiley-026:

 

[88gtanotchback]

great looking build, this is gonna look exactly like the build I'm gonna be starting shortly, with a few small difference. yours looks great tho! sorry in advance for building a twin, it was unintentional. lol

 

[GRKSTL]

No problem on the copy. It doesn't bother me. As long as you are happy that all that matters.

I would post links to all the stuff like freddy asked but i will be busy today running around.

[88gtanotchback]

unintentional copy. lol i will be happy for sure ive had an flm build in the past and it was great. a little heavy but i never had issues with durability.

 

[Shaun]

I'm going to be starting a FLM build myself scott very soon ha ha

 

[frddyj]

bob lengthen that brake shaft that goes to the cam and put a bend in it toward the back of the truck youll bigtime increase braking power and shorten the throw.

 

[pete3091]

flm is a great build. I'm going to do my frist one, I'm just waiting on parts. dam it take to long to ship but its worth it!

 

[Scott]

Nice job on the reciever box!! Nice build!!! :rock1:

My midtank setup is officially finished. I just have to dye the wheels black and call it a day.

I added an Jammin JP4 pipe to the LRP motor. Had to use a Team Assiciated Header and redrilled it to fit.

The fuel lines are nice and neat. The fuel filter is run in between the fuel line mounts on the tank. It is a clean setup.

 

[Scott]

Turned out killer!!! :rock1:

 

[TripleSix]

Looks real nice bob. Cant wait to spank it with the flux, and watch you convert it t[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]o bl, lol. Maybe the lrp will stick around a little longer than the 5.9

 

[frddyj]

no doubt, sweet build.

glad to see you using the silver-meaty washers; which ones did you use?
