Also removed all shims from slipper kit and used M5 slim nut so it goes to the shaft "on the part that is got no thread for screw" and pushes 44T properly on the slipper kit. Tighten it with stock M4 nut and used another "slim" nut over the stock. A lots of lock tight, 24hr healed.

Were you running 4wd?

I might do that (but for a large part it will be the same as other Alza 5B builds on this forum).

I also ordered the Xerun 150A because I heard some good stories about it.

For the shocks I was planning to use the 8 shocks that are used on the nitro versions of the Savage but several people recommended that I should take a look at the Losi XXL LST shocks. These can be found very cheap on eBay and using this kit they can be mounted on the standard Savage shock towers.

In this thread you can see what the shocks and kit look like.

I would like to see at least 4mm shaft on shocks...

Wow, ver ynice build.
Will you have any spear XL aarms for sale ?
Nice bumpers, you could make more of them :whistle:
If they hold i would be interesting...
Also where did you order custom dogbones ?
Very interested in mid. diff conversion.


Do you know the size of xxl shocks from eye to eye ?

The shaft size for these Losi XXL shocks could be 4mm (if they are the same as the LST2 shocks) : http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/shocks.html but I will measure them when they arrive.

Just to be sure, that car is not mine but from a nice guy from Belgium. I don't know if he has an account here, I can point him to this thread so maybe he can answer your questions.

Please check the shaft on XXLs and thank you for the link.

Yes, that would be great...please tell him to come and peak here..got some Q 4 him...

here i am :drunk: lol

Hi,

first i wanna say great build and i like it a lot, specially love costum stuff u cutted. :whip:

So u didnt tested towers that you made ?
When will you cut the XXL a-arms ?
If the material holds, do you intend to make them any for sale too -?
Would be interested in 13mm longer aarms than stock + towers..

Will subscribe to your thread ...
