Look at the box, glad that I wrapped it up well...

Damn USPS sure like to beat the boxes up...

aint that the truth!

Run report, ran the truck today, picked up a 47t spur from the lhs, im having in odd problem, when ever i run the slipper always works itself loose, i have tried backing it with another nut, locktite, two locknuts and just plain crankin on it'. still comes loose..

nothing has broken except the wheels on the turkey bar, spoked rims dont like to be landed on..

I was doing a speed run, WOT donw the street, hit a pothole and it sent the truck into a hard right turn, the badlands caught that edge and sent the truck into a spiral-parts flew out...:( the truck landed perfectly on its wheels.. nothing even scraped the ground except the wheelie bar, now to solid knex wheels :D but anyways the parts that flew out were the front center dogbone and the drive cup that popped off. easily fixable:D

after 15mins of running the 8xl was barely warm, lipos wer cold and the MM was cool (40mm fan on it)

Sounds like the 8xl is running just as I expected. Mine always ran cool in the savage.

running cooler then i expected, really powerful too, turkey bar is doing its job :D

YAY ,turkey bar,

have you looked into using these- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXK154&P=ML

Ive used them for 3 wheelie bars now and their excellent tires. The rims and tires are a harder type of rubber so they wont shatter and they flex extremely well.

i think i fixed the problem, solid knex wheels, if not i dont think they make a wheel with 5/16th hole :lol:

truck is up for sale if anyone is interested

Just get it going and your dumping it already???!!! Bash a little!!!!


You have to get rid of that Stock WH body...it's aweful. It seems to small for the chassis. I put a Cen 7.7 body on mine and it seems much better proportioned. I'm sure a crowd pleaser designed for a Cen would look better than my stocker, but... I just turned the body mounts arround and drilled new holes.


See Pic...........

just dont think its for me, id rather have a flat chasis car, if your interested pm me, lettin it go cheap

get a savage.

nick i wish it was that easy :yes:

I think i have figured out my slipper clutch dillema..

i have a few plans.
A. Get a Thrust bearing to go inbetween the spur and the spring to prevent the nut from backing off when the clutch slips

B. Get a shafts collar to back the nut to physically limit its movement

C. Glue the spur to the slipper (last resort)

i feel that the thrust bearing should eliminate the problem i just dont know if this bearing wil be enough to hold standup to the spring pressure

Between option A and locktite on the nut i think your issue will be solved

If you are looking for some heavier duty ones, check out www.mcmaster.com and search thrust bearings. Theirs will be a little beefier as they are typically meant for industrial applications.
