Front battery stopper detail

Hi cemetery gates - you're right, those are tt shock towers. I think i must bought one of the last pairs before he decided to call it quits. This shows the age of my truck.

t-maxxracer32 is right - there is a piece of delrin stopper in the front to prevent the battery from slidng forward & gettint torn to bits by the spur.

Hi jhautz - I'm bought a 5S 5000mah from www.hobbycity.com for slightly more than USD100. Quality is a little suspicious though. Before I have even start to use it, one of the small wires connecting to the tabs has broken off. I had to open up the pack & do some surgery. Kind of scary considering that I was pretty exhausted late last night. I am using a 7XL with a BK9920 on 15/49 gearing. I was using this combo with 14cell Nimh in my old conversion. However, I was also using a 60mm fan blowing across the esc. I hope this combo is stable in this current setup.

Hi Serum - I'm a messy guy. My wiring is usually just an afterthought

captain harlock - 12S is the way of the future - I salute u. I myself am trying a 8S buggy but hit some obsticles.

Regards,
Joe Ling

Please tell us how the pack goes. I'm interested.

I've an SS kit here and i'am realy think to convert it into brushless. But i'll wait to see how the rear center driving hold up. It's veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy long, and i'am not sure about the solidity of this shaft.

Joe,

What are the green pieces of what looks like rope holding your suspension from extending all the way? Is this something you made or something you bought. I am looking for a good travel limiter for the savage.

Where did you get it?

Sorry for missing the answer on this. This is a tip I picked up from savage central. Essentially it's just a piece of nylon string/rope or equivalent that u can buy from local hardware store. I rope it round the tower to the thingie (what's that word) connected to the tie rod (rod end ?) at both ends. The main intention is to limit the over extension of the shocks to protect them when the trucks lands. A crude equivalent to what droop screws do in a buggy or truggy.

PS : I'll try to shoot a few details if you say the quality of my photographs are good . Out out out ! Sorry, my ego trying to take over there

[jhautz]

Thanks Joe. Yea. Id like to see how its set up in a little more detail. I want to limit the down travel of the arms a bit and I feel that just shortning the stroke on the shocks will just tear the shocks apart in any kind of crash.
