The Nerd's new rig

About all I've got to show for myself at this stage, however parts will start rolling in very soon

The pile ever increasing, got the first order in today, with hopefully more following next week.

Got some more parts the other day.



Also got the very first custom made part for this rig done. A special spring retainer so you can use mini T fronts on scx10 shocks. The rod end cup is just off a set of HPI firestorm shocks that has had the outer lip sanded of. Before and after.

I discovered a rather strange issue with my one of my scx10 shocks yesterday. The shaft had been only partly ti nitrided (the gold stuff) and is rather hard to move in and out. I was going to email axial, but in no uncertain terms on their website it states they won't deal with international warranty. So it looks like I'll be out of pocket for a new set of shafts ($13 US). I'll put up a picture later.

The foams are about 1 and a 1/4 rover foams and a 1.9 CI foam all stuffed in. Nothing fancy and I just put it in there really cause I don't have anything else at the moment. I will probably pick up some new CI foams down the track to try out, but we'll see how this go. Sorry I didn't get any weights as it seems the scales have gone walkabout Oh and finally BCs don't make for easy mounting on these wheels, it took me about 10 tries before I perfected the method

Motors arrived today, wow they are tiny.
