Maxxslash (could use some RCM direction) - 03.16.2010, 09:54 AM

I'm really unsure where to put this, ( it ain't no Corr truck anymore)
So this is my recent project of turning a Slash 4x4, into a strong capable , full size basher. I'm basically running all E-maxx arms, axles, carriers, and stuff, on a Slash 4x4. True-track arms in the rear, and will be modding 1/8 scale shocks to fit. It will end up the exact size as a 3905, the wheel base is identical.
So the first step was to swap out the diffs for E-revo diffs. I needed to get the bigger outdrives, but other then that they are identical. Easy stuff, as I had the parts. The arms are only a couple mm bigger then the stockers, so a little dremeling and they bolt in. I did have to sand a minimal amount of material off the arms to clear the chassis, on the inside of the suspension pin. The axles were rubbing on the rod mount, so it needed just .5mm taken off it.
I custom made some upper links, and the rear should be fne, but the front needs some additional thoughts. I was thinking that the steering links would keep it from rolling but " rootar " pointed out they will still be able to roll. So I need to find away to hold them on that axis. I was thinking about adding an additional turnbuckle to the rear oif the shock tower, to the custom ball link, but not sure if that will give me the strength I need. (any ideas) I also need to raise my front shock tower, or add to it, for a longer shock to fit the front.

I haven't decided what electronics for sure, but I have a Quark 80b, Neu 3900 4s packs, that I would like to use. Boy, am I kicking myself for getting rid of my Medusa 36-60-2000. I would like to be 45ish on 4s, but really don't want to go with a MT setup that would require alot of battery. Been thinking maybe a 9l.

Please don't be shy with suggestions or pointing out flaws.

So it's a work in progress, but here's the starting pics.
