Freeze's Savage Flux "Frostbyte II" build thread

Part 8: Drivetrain/axle reassembly


With the major PITA part of the build done, namely, dremeling the arms, it was time to continue reassembly with a few extra's and upgrades


HPI's stock grease is allright, but were gonna put on some high quality Lucas Oil Red n Tacky stuff for my diffs. It sticks real good and lubricates very well with just a small bit grease.





Were also gonna go ahead and upgrade the axles with HPI's new HD wide axle set to give "Frostbyte II" better corning and handling, especially under 6s power.





Oh but wait! We've got more purple again and that just won't do! Time for another soaking in Greased Lighting!






Ah, much better!







I also decided that the shocks were just too "stiff" with 40w oil and white springs and I didn't wanna chance blowing the shock caps and or causing other parts to break due to the reduced dampening. So I'm going back to 30w to be safe.





To keep the ESC and motor wires from rubbing against the body, I decided to zip tie them to the frame





Were looking good now, she's coming to life!
