Very nice build .

Probably the nicest truggy build i have seen , not mentioning my X2 build

What made you decide to ditch the mech brake idea , i din't think you liked the esc braking on the truggy?

I wish I had a video of my nice lawn dart that broke the Neu ! That would have been a youtubes finest moron pick. Guess it will be a couple weeks till she rides again. It doesnt look that nice anymore, though I do clean it about every 3-4 bashes like an anal tard heh.. Ive been stopping around 15 minutes, before the lvc ever cuts off. I dont totally trust them lol Im usually at 7.2v. Im still learning to trust and love the Neu lipos. I havent given it a 15 minute WOT race yet pushing it to its limits, just the general neighborhood, park and construction site bashes.

Be well, enjoy Calis summer !

Thanks for the compliment, followed the lead of the bright ones here and got my questions answered and put it together... I ditched the brakes for a couple things. Ill make points incase someone wants to check issues or solve them or laugh that I couldnt.


1. the center diff is turned around in the 8T conversion so the pinion can reach the spur, so the top brace is turned too, which moves the front and rear brake cams which are different lengths and placements and would then push to stop instead of pull (or vice versa I dont remember) and they dont line up anyway. I drilled out a hole in the front center brace next to where the cam was originally and shortened the rear cam to fit in the front new hole. I dont entirely remember but it goes together after that and some shims somewhere in there lol I dunno if one of those extra long pinions would have just fit with everything in its normal place.

2. you would have to drill alot of holes to mount up the servos and the brake servo would be partially supported on the mudguard which was lame.

After messing with all that and nearly drilling, I didnt want to mess up the 8T because it looked so clean and was together so nice with the parts everyone recommended..The mystery and romance of doing it was gone because Tekno has their version out now with a wider chassis and all the stuff to do it right. (and im lazy) So I just put it back and figured id buy that and try it out eventually. If i dont like it one of you can buy it from me for less and see if you do lol..

Sorry to ramble and be vague but maybe someone will know what I mean when they are staring at the brake parts, servos and 8T lol
Thanks,
Jay

I had a crazy noise when braking...
It turned out to be air in my ballooning road rage tire escaping out through small air hole in the rims.
I was a scary hiss after a high speed and stop.
bigger air holes solved it
