Hey guys,

i got my cvd back tonight. My mate turned down a 12.9 hardened steel bolt on the lathe to fit perfectly. For some reason the 3mm pin i had didn't fit, it was too small, i think it ended up being like 3.1mm or 3.2mm i needed, makes a big difference. I also got done trimming the F-150 body to fit the truck. Hopefully the temps stay cool with that on, but i think im going to have to cut a hole in the windscreen evenutally. Taking it out for a run tomorrow, hopefully the batteries perform a little better on their second charge.

replacement pin







Oh, and notice anyting missing on the truck?

cheers
jordan

I replied to your post in the traxxas forum regarding the pin. I had used 1/8" through-hardened ejector pin left over after making my hinge pins. 1/8" = 3.175mm.

You got it BL_RV0, the front and rear skid are gone. Replaced them with alum skids that i chopped flush with the bulks, probably wont leave them on permanently, but just trying to save some weight for the next run.

@Lito, I'll keep that in mind next time, they would have fit perfectly, saved me a whole lot of waiting time

P.S, got an update from MGM on my controller last night, its all fixed, new battery leads and new heatshrink and ready to be EMS'd out to me tomorrow. Hopefully here before Christmas, but even i think that is a little too optimistic
