Stretched e-Muggy (Baja-style) Build Thread

[brian015]

I took it out for another test run around the yard on 6s with the rc-raven springs - they do the job - a great $7 purchase. I don't have a scale, so I haven't weighed this thing yet - but I'm estimating about 17-18 lbs. Still haven't finished the last two brackets on the rollcage - hopefully soon.


Edit: Also screws kept coming loose from muggy steering tie rod (I had even put a little blue loctite on them last time), so I decided to tighten them good - until I snapped one of the screws heads off with the rest of it in the bushing. So I got rid of that whole set-up and installed a titanium tie-rod with adjustable rod ends. I used 3mm screws inside a 3/16" plastic sleeve inside the bellcranks and 3mm locknuts. Hopefully it will stay tightened now.


Next edit: I took it out in the yard on 8s geared conservatively - everything worked fine - the steering mod worked. My only issue right now is oversteer. I was tightening down the pre-load in back, but a quick read on fixing it tells me I was going the wrong way - I needed stiffer front and softer back to correct it. Hopefully I can work that out.
