Sadly its the new 6061 I have had the CD for maybe 2 months and the rear I bought about 3 weeks ago. Could be why. Big mistake on Nova's part to change... I would like to know though if the 7075 would've held up. 1717 - 6s - no slipper in a 13lb rig. I also swapped a Nova cup into the SC8ight and I have been blasting that rig so hard on 1520 - 6s - no slipper, for about 8 packs or so racing my dad. I will check it at about 15-20 and see how its holding up. But I doubt it will be bad as that was using a stock non HD plastic cup and it held up.
I guess I should have stuck to: If it 'Aint Broke; Dont Fix It. Another thing to note as well with the AL CD Cup. Its gets really f'ing hot man, like burn your ass hot. :lol: Never had a prob with the plastic one. |
Nice rigs. I plan on doing something similar with my rustler.

Thank you! I really have to upgrade the slipper on it though. Its all old and worn out and the extra weight and power just make it squeal... :lol: The whole thing was actually really easy. The Rustler is a very simple and easy design to work with. Good Luck! Post it up when you get on it...

Well shoot, its been a year and a half.
Finally, rebuilding the Maxx with new suspension and 4mm pins. Rebuilt the 8ight to buggy form for now (1520 on 6s is just too fun on a 10lber!!!). Havent touched the Rustler/Baja. D8T was an awesome car with the 1717, built it, bashed it, finally broke it(minor=CVD & Shock end). I have to say that this was by far my best RC buy ever. This car is very tough and handled like a dream. Not to mention it was less than $250 for the kit. Gonna fix it for $30 or so and get a new body. Pics to come TEXT is BORING. |

Wish I had 2 sets of single shock arms but, oh well. I do have an extra pair of double shock arms though. Also got some GPM upper arms for $10 a pair shipped. Couldnt pass that up so I opted for them instead of some Wide Trac or FLM upper arms. I drilled the Hinge pin holes out on the UE knockoff arms to 5/32" or 3.96mm. and used some 5/32" hardened drill rod cut to size for hinge pins. cut a small slot on the pins and secured them with set screws. no more E-clips The GPM arms have a slghtly larger hinge pin hole already and used a small plastic bushing to ride on the actual pin. I ditched the plastic bushing and made an aluminum sleeve the takes up any slack between the Arm and the Hinge pin. I BETTER NOT BEND THESE PINS! http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...psf5a4ace0.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...psd3794500.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps82433fc1.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2b044281.jpg |
