Ultimate UE-G4...

[respirologyrc]

I'm sorry for taking sooo long with the pics. The pics don't do this piece of craftmanship justice. I need to polish up the truck a bit but otherwise this Center Diff Plate (CDP) is top notch. Machined edges, multiple diff positioning, available dog bones, larger spur clearance for spurs gears up to 50t, no bearing slop, easy removal of CDM and CDP, uses stock chassis holes, and is an easy project BUT great improvement!!!!!

A lot of thought went in to this piece. Now all you need to do is see my CDM for my THUNDER heheheheheeeheheh WORK of ART!!

Piece of art, looks really good. I like the CDP, could use one of them for my G4

Now you just need the most important upgrade, bulkheads. As you probaly know, the plastic ones are proned to brake.

I do have an 8 gear spyder VBS; i just wanted to build an old school maxx that was somewhat light weight. LOL

if the cost of an aluminum lower plate is too exspensive (price TBA), there will be one made from Delrin for you light race trucks. The delrin design will be exactly the same but lighter and black in color.

That's some nice work done on the truck , but I agree with Klausen... plastic bulks might be a little weak for this build... especially with Aluminum shock towers and arms...

I like the plastic blahhh

I knew you had a build somewhere finally found it. Heres my similer build I did over a year ago called it the Silverback named it aftere the infamouse Rasorback that robin made 12 of.

Thought about doing the center diff mod but the revo spec tranny fits in there so perfect and since I really dont race I figure why bother. I removed and sold the racerx suspension and I am going to run a mono with rpm trutrac suspension. It should be the same wheelbase as yours for the price of a mono.

you will need to find someone who can make you a rear center drive shaft if you plan on doing this. The G4 as you know uses the mono drive shaft. So if you go longer with the mono you will need a drive shaft that is the length of the mono shaft plus an additional 25mm long (25mm to compensate for the added length of the mono). Your truck looks good!!!!!!!

Actually with this transmission(different cup placement then the center diff) and no mono the UE 110mm titanium dogbone fits (Its the one used for hardcore chassis trucks back in the day). And with the mono, the long Savage xl driveshaft fits perfect. No need to find someone to make those. Its looks good there with all that nice UE billet but its definatly going to look a little different with the rpm trutrack suspension. I am still trying to decide if I should go with knucklehead towers with a dd wing mount or my titanium duh engineering towers. I was also debating on the 6 spider or the 8 spiders diffs as I have either set I could use. I have a rcm center diff I was wondering what are you getting for one of the adaptor plates?

The reason his stock G4 chassis has the same wheelbase as his Thunder+Mono is because his G4 has Setbacks and his Thunder+Mono doesn't. The Setbacks increase the wheelbase, so if both trucks had the same rear a-arms, the G4 would be shorter than the Thunder+Mono.

Just my $0.02...

Nice work wish they still sold this chassis

[respirologyrc]

Chassis is nice and smooth. Good layout, could have had the upper praces designed a little better, but this is just my oppinion.
