Truck looks great Joram, I really like the arms, are they flextek titanium? Looks very solid, especially those giant CEN diffs.

yes, it are Flextek arms

Tomorrow my Fullymax 6s 5200Mah pack arrives, hopefully it fits inside the chassis....

You're so close now!!! It's looking awesome! I wonder why you didn't use another savox servo instead of that ace tho? =)

Don't worry bout the weight... My truck ended up at around 7.4kg with only batteries to add, and my LST was 7.4kg rtr =) I have driven mine already on some crappy 18nimh cells(wow!), and have bent both the front shock shafts on the first jump!!

I would advise you get the TiNi shock shafts for yours if they are not already - although i did hit a rather large jump on the first run =) really do need to update my thread one of these days - this was almost 2 weeks ago -lol-

Fingers crossed for your batteries mate!! I dont think i need to ask for an update when they come :D

...7 kg is going to pretty hard on the equipment and the landings :D Built for it though...Cant wait to see it running...

...my build is 4.4 kg RTR right now...Should be around 5kg when all is said and done...

...thanks for keeping us so up to date on it Joram...great build...

haha - i forgot to add my shocks are Integy, and we all know how awesomely durable their gear is

Lipo doesn't fit....

But i have good news, i'm goign to barrow an 5s 3700 Mah lipo!!

Tommorow testrun

Next week a couple of Kokam 6S 2200 Mah lipo's will arrive!!!!

Hmm, you could send the lipo to Linc and he could split it up into a pair of packs, then you might be able to fit both of them into the chassis, like a saddle-pack or something?

Nearly there, it will be well worth the effort and wait.

I bought today the 5S 3300Mah fullymax lipo.

I'm not going to run on 6s... Tonight i have tested the stuff inside the house, POWER!!!!

Today i made as testrun, but i broke one of my CVD's





So i need to buy some new ones, but no CVD'S anymoren, just the HD stock ones.

Looks like the pin sheared off. Use the correct size drill bit shank, it is made of M2 steel and should hold up longer than the softer material. You may need a cutting wheel (dremel) to trim the drill bit shank, as they are tough.

[Joram]

I will try that, but i am looking now for the #100905, the FLUX gear+ shaft... Anyone who can get it at a local shop and send it with UPS to me????

This is what I've been using on my Savage:

One did break on me but that was the result of a 35mph crash into a curb. That same crash also broke a shock shaft and bent hinge pins.

If you don't want to go with that style of axle, HPI also makes them with the regular style of axle:
