Although I don't see your lexan battery box I do see your homemade spoiler. Nice!

Pictures from the mountains should be up 2night.

Alien, great advice! It will certainly be my main point of reference! I can't thank you enough! All this is very exciting! Would any of these make a good tungsten carbide cutting bit?

No problem man... how the hell did that happen to your diff? Let me guess... hmmmmmmm.. too much power? Hope you get it sorted soon.

Too much power (i think this may become part of my sig. for awhile)to be landing difficult jumps while hard on the throttle to correct with a locked slipper.

Just got 4 more super shocks, along with a Gen IV servo saver from JD Cruson. You guys should have seen his sale! Im going to ask if I can post some of his trucks here...

Edit: Also ordered the $18 UE 8spider maintance kit with the 2 broken parts plus some. Another fan is coming my way from CC aswell. January or February this project should be almost complete.

I think I'm going to do what jordan did except extend (give wings to) the center skid where he mounted the CD(i'm going to do that also)CLICK. He didn't give batt wings(haha see what I did there) to the center skid because he already had a GMaxx chassis.

Very exciting!!!

Those are the ring halves for the beadlocks. They were a huge help with taping, and I was careful to let the tape down slowly and not distort the natural contour of the tire. The tape made the tires significantly stiffer even unmounted, acts almost like a real tire carcass to some extent.

The beadlocks made things quite a bit easier vs. glued tires, and most of the time was just cleaning the shredded foam out and getting the tires clean inside. The compound of the ZM tires is like the rubber they make those wallwalker toys from, you have to pry it apart from itself, so the tape stuck like crazy. I'm not sure how well some tape sticks to the various compounds, but it worked great for me.

Great, good to hear redshift and good to have you posting here.

I wonder if modding my chassis in this way will prohibit me from racing. I mean the gorillamxx takes this even further and they can race.

[Kcaz25]

Trying a new racing battery setup. I can't claim this setup all to myself as I've seen it done before. Pretty neat I think.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

How safe are they hanging there?

[coolhandcountry]

I have seen it done before.
I guess as long as the straps are good the batteries are safe.

[jokerjustin]

esh i dont know about that... id be worried about hitting a rut just right and slamming into the lipo...

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

yeah... I am thinking it goes a little more than the batteries falling off... I was also wondering about them getting struck from below during a rough run or a hard landing...

[coolhandcountry]

But the batteries are higher then skids. It would have to be a major rut.
It is possible though.

[Kcaz25]

Yeah I won't fall off or slide forward, its got zip ties in the front and back keeping it from sliding in a lawn-dart maneuver or landing on the rear skid. You'll be pleased to hear that I won't be bashing like this, just racing where there are no big ruts. Only thing would be landing on another truck's body post which would be really hard to do.

It really helps handling but I still can't wait until I devise my own way to mount up a CD/motor mount and sling the batteries even lower on a proper tier or tray.

[SnoopMaxx]

One of the new 1:10 SC trucks use a battery tray where the battery stands upright ..but I can't find it right now

[Kcaz25]

Super quick mock up ignore the bit holder, its there to balance the rear suspension on the chassis, and the turnbuckle links will be over the top CD plate not under. This is highly accurate though this is it.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

looks trick... do you have any shots from above? also... are you ditching FLM Chassis?
