Sorry i haven't updated in a while, Chicago auto show, valentines day, and a few other things were scheduled.

Just a quick update i have my brace figured out, So i am supplying a couple quick pics.
Nothing to extravagant here just took an already existing idea from people and Ran with it, Hoping it turns out for the better...

Waiting for a couple parts to get back from the powdercoater so i can throw everything together and go for a test run...

Here are the quick pics...

I am 90% done Will upload pics later sometime in the next few days.
still have to debate on the 4092, or a 1717 as the price on those i have spotted around the $150 Range.
and see how the chassis hold up for now...

I would have had a test run done but my cat has decided to walk away with the pinion...
So on my way through Milwaukee to Kenosha for the week i will be making a stop at Trackside to pickup a few pinions tonight.
and hopefully get a few test runs done this week as well to see what kinks need to be worked out

If Anyone down around the Kenosha area possible wants to meet up let me know as ill be down there for roughly a week.

Well got some testing done this week so far, Running great motor is a bit warm on this setup for a 19t pinion so ill have to drop to a 18t maybe even a 17t...
I am hoping when i finalize on either the 4092 or the 1717 i can run the 19t pinion or even a 20t with the same truggy tires i am running...

Previous persons cheap glue job didn't take long to show its head on the wheels with tires like pizza cutters.

Well as stated here are the pics of being 90% done...

Wow, This place is extremely dead...

FYI: pink body is previous owners, which is quite beat.
Need to get ideas for bodies, I have 2 e-revo bodies that
i may try and fill the body post holes in and add some for the muggy...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you, The power is decent.
Punch is set at 50% for now till i find more problem areas that need to be addressed.

Test setup is a Leo 2000kv and 150a E.s.c
2 3s 6000mah nanotechs

Motor got a little to warm for my liking's
i had also been running in grass and sand from the nearby baseball diamond. then hit the lot right away
Currently a 19t pinion hit 170ish for a temp and i shut it down to cool

so i will be dropping to a 17t pinion.

Batts never even broke 95*
E.s.c was 105* when i shut it down


I willl eventually be running a Leo 4092, or a Monster 1717 for its final stage.

Well i am just taking time to update this thread so here is my current running setup...

Full weight w/2 3s 6000mah nano tech lipos. =13.5lbs

current test Motor/Esc = Leopard 2000kv/150a esc setup.

Pinion/spur 16t 46t spur, i think, to lazy to look

Springs = progressive 8.9 ppi at the top and 15 ppi at the bottom

diff as follows F/C/R. 30k/200k/30k... Love this setup front tires don't unload, steers great and drives like it has limited slip in the center.

Wheels = unknown truggy wheels.

tires = I believe proline hole shots (sucks a$$ in grass, hit the dirt it Hauls a$$)

everything else in minor if anyone would like to know anything else on my setup let me know.

All vids posted will have what my setup is at the time of the vid.
