Cool vid. I like d seeing the rockers. Gives you a littel more apreciation for all the engineering involved in that suspension.

That is cool indeed- its hard to visualize the rockers and how they work when just looking at a picture, but that vid gives you a really good view.

Take the body off and do it again! lol
Cool video. :)

Where did you get that cam and how much did it run?

I got mine from Great Hobbies in Edmonton, but it is distributed by Hobby Lobby. $99.99

Is is pretty cheap, but it seems to work OK. You will also have to buy an SD memory card, unless you have one from a digital camera. It is also firmware upgradable, which is a nice feature.

Very cool
whats the speeds and gearing ?

thanks for the cam info

14/46 pinion spur with the 4.3:1 truggy diffs. Geared for around 36-38 mph on 4s. I need thicker center diff fluid as it still diffs out quite a bit even with 120k.

Lonewolf that is a cool as truggy!! you oughtta market that center mount because I'd buy it!

Wow I cant believe you where able to fit a motor with 14 and 46 spur and not hit stock drive shaft :oh:
howd you do that

small size of motor ?
how you like the gearing/speed ?

I am using a regular 36mm motor with no finns, just the RCM heatsink. It is tight, but fits. If you are going to use a finned motor, you will have to grind the fins a bit to get it to fit. I like this gearing as it is easy on the esc and battery. It's also the perfect speed for my sandpit. If I was doing more open running, I would probably run higher gearing for more speed. It is quick, but not real fast as is.

Nice build, I've enjoyed reading it!

About the CVD's, they won't pop out using stock arms (atleast I haven't heard about them doing that). But they can pop out however using RPM arms. The RPM arms can bend alot, the CVD pops out on one side, can't get back in, and bends... :S


btw, How do you like the Badlands? Are you happy with your choice? How do they hold up on asphalt?

Awesome center diff mount. Video is cool too.

They are a great all around tire. I haven't ran them much on asphalt, but have run the heck out of them on gravel and sand. They are holding up great. Definitely worth it.

Very good build thread, enjoyed reading, easy to understand and Follow.
great pics.

Thanks for listing all the specs including the ratio's and , motor, speed and such. It really makes a great thread complete.
This is how Threads SHOULD BE
Nice job !

:sarcastic:

There is no rule stating everyone has to make their build thread a 'How-to' guide for other less imaginative/ talented/ mechanical minded people to follow. Seriously, bolting a 1/8 center diff to a flat piece of metal isnt hard, nor is mounting an MMM and hooking up a pair of 3s lipos in series... :neutral:
