just got in contact with him. should have my return sorted out asap, and as for the shafts i bit the bullet and ordered UE ones this morning before he told me they should be here next week. HMMM...

you can never have enough parts - :005: :005:

Well i got the shafts today and they sit pretty loose in there. Im gunna have to use that fuel tubing to make it a little tighter. Maby ill order some of the ones mike is making, but for now i think the UE ones will work just dam fine.

Now all i have to get is the linkage between the servo horn and the servo saver. And being the retard like i am i put female deans connectors on the ESC istead of male ones, so theres another thing to pick up at the hobby shop. I also need to find some body mounts, i wanna get 2 front ones becasue i dont need the connector for the EZ-start. If anyone knows where to get like 2 aluminum ones both front for a good price let me know. I also need a cool body.

The aluminum body mounts are nice looking. They are rough on your body and shock tower though. I have broke a few tower with them. I like the cheaper plastic better. I painted mine to match up. It looks good until about 50 crashes or so.

Sweet, got all the parts at the hobby store today. Spend about $450 there. Got tires, tons of nice new tool sets and all the little parts i needed plus a reciever.

PS. I really need to get CVD boots bad, i know ill fry them if i dont. Where can i get some that fit all the UE cups??

try mike he can most likely get them for you

markland556 · 12:56 AM

got the truck all done. Tried it out in my little hall outside my work room and the throttle stuck por something and smashed it into my couch. Best the shit outta the front bumper, but i fixed it, looks perfect again. I still need to talk to mike or someone about those CVD boot's. Also i really dont like the shock towers i have right now. Im very limited on positions of my shocks because im using the huge proline ones. So im looking for some better ones right now. But maby thats somethig for later. The truck also sits a little too low to the ground for my style. Soo ya..

other than the tires and wheels it would be a great looking truck :003:. hey after you drive it for awhile give us a report on that controller your using. your the first person ive seen run one.

Whats wrong with the wheel's and trires, they are pretty god for just mashing around in the park's baseball fields. But i also got some T-maxx sand paddles off ebay for cheap. Those will come in handy for my trip to seaside oregon.
I will also be getting some on-road tires but im not sure of any good ones...

squeeforever · 03.10.2006, 05:36 PM

i have heard that the jaco foams are pretty good. the roadrages dont hook up to good. my crimefighters hook up better, as a matter of fact. the roadrages will let it spin out easily when you nail it from a dead stop.

just not my personal prefrence :010: i like my tires to have a scale look to them like 5" tall and 2.5" wide not 6" tall and 4" wide,thats why i sold the tires and wheels in my pic <- . i just think a skinny tire looks better. seaside or. nice another oregonen :027:

If you like the terra crusher. You could try to convert one to brushless. I dn't think i have seen one of them done yet.

HotnCold · 03.19.2006, 07:38 AM

And on that note - I have a terra crusher that im debating on selling that has literally 20 mins of run time - has been converted to the .21 - and all aluminum arms, new shocks, 40 series, new 1/4 scale steering servo, etc - sweet truck, if someone is interested in it - PM me for pics and info - i would sell it without motor as a roller if someone is interested.
