Looks good. But some possible improvements...

Sway bars

Tighter slipper clutch :)

Looking good

The springs are the stiffest on market. I see no chance for sway bar do the job. The front sway bar has no room, because of the motor.
The MMM was set to 100% punchcontol, so it looks non agil :)

Any way to lower the suspension a bit more- even with stiff springs, there is alot of chassis roll in the corners, and the front even really dives down when you hit the brakes.

Looks great otherwise, flies really well for such a large truck

I am with neil, lowering the suspension and limiting the travel would help a lot I think. I think based on the videos the swaybars at least on the rear with the stiffest bar would be a big help. Otherwise looking nice.

No great Updates. Snow and Ice everywhere ... damnit.

I just play around with a E-Revo Rx Box (hide miles of wires), an 2065 Traxxas Shift Servo (perfect place found) and 28 LEDs (little reallife touch) ;)
But nothing finished yet and no pic update sry.

But I like too see Hellys rig too. :)

Today I tested the LED System Outside. I don't know, why the place was lighted on sunday ... but okay. So I saw the connection wire to power on ^^

greets

PS The shocksystem wasn't updated.

I like that lighting kit, very realistic how the brakes get brighter when you stomp on them- got a link at all?

Thanks, i use the DElight controller for this lightsystem.

I search for Revo Flextek RC Arms for my rig. :/

I fear your search will be in vain; flextech no longer make their suspension arms due to the cost of Titanium, so tracking down a retailer with some in stock will be a mission & a half...

titan · 02.19.2010, 02:12 PM

I know, because of this I look and ask here and there :) Maxx and LST is every where - but revo - failed. There could be a privat seller too.
But RPM is nice too - flextek would be nice to have :D

The snow becomes liquid :D

Okay, subscripers know more :D

There is the Rockers P90 P2 are installed now. Shockoil is 80wt and now sway bar, because the originals are useless with this stiff shocks... Last drive looks good to me.

Please feel free to tell me your ideas.

The suspension looks nice and smooth, but its still much too soft I reckon- the rear end drags along under acceleration & the front end actually scraped the floor when you were hard on the brakes- I just dont think revo shocks are larger enough for a 5th scale vehicle weighing 15lbs. Might want to look at bigger shocks and mount the shock tower further back, to allow the same travel but also allow stiffer springs to be used that can support a higher weight...

Thats my feeling anyway, but its still a kickass truck

titan · 04.28.2010, 02:45 AM

Thankx for your input. What Video number you saw this? There is some time and changing between the movies. The last stand is number 7#. The #6 was with long travel set, but there is no way to use this useful.

I do not know, how heavy the car is in #7. (more than 15 lbs (7kg+))

But the body hit the wheels not the floor (; If I could set the body higher the soft problem increases. (lever rule)

That is the same problem I had with my 1/5th revo. Mine weighed almost or just over 14lbs. Even with the stiffest Traxxas springs, the shocks really can't support the weight of the truck very well and would sit at the bottom half of the travel range. Getting the body roll under control wasn't as bad using the sway bars, which I'd recommend you try putting back on at least to test out.

In the video on grass with the kids around you I too noticed the front of the truck nosing down. The tires definitely hit the body, don't know if anything hit the ground. Not much you can do about it though. Like you said raising the body isn't the greatest idea, since it weighs about a pound. But mabe the sway bars will counter act that. I used the Traxxas sways on mine, with the stiff bars on the front and back. I left the front links toward the top of the bar, but lowered the rears as much as possible to make it stiffer. Like I said I'd give it a shot again. Maybe bump the shock oil wieght up to 90 or 100 too. Good job though, its looking good.
