Also removed all shims from slipper kit and used M5 slim nut so it goes to the shaft "on the part that is got no thread for screw" and pushes 44T properly on the slipper kit. Tighten it with stock M4 nut and used another "slim" nut over the stock. A lots of lock tight, 24hr healed.

Thanks!! Should be a great look on my XBE (taller wheels and a new truck body).

I have read this thread with great interest, thanks for all the information!

As a result I also ordered (and received) the Alza Racing chassis and accompanying parts, can't wait for the rest of the stuff to arrive and to start with the build

Small update...

My MXL dosent want to be one unit any more...first was moving up and down a bit than i took it off to send it to recall anyway and i see this..





I shipped to castle one MXL and one 1520 motor and bec pro
on 16th of MAY 2011 and stil waiting to receive all items back...
Now i will ship seconf MXL to castle EU. SO lots of $$$ and lots of waiting..

I decided to buy XERUN 150A esc.




What i also want to do is upgrade the shocks with better ones, stronger ones "shocks that can take more abouse"...So i was thinking something like these..

1:5 shocks
Dimensions:
- Overall length, extended: long 155 mm, short 131 mm
- Mounting distance, extended: long 144,5 mm, short 120,5 mm
- Travel: long 43,5 mm, short 30,5 mm
- Inner diameter of spring: 21 mm
- Shock body diameter: 20 mm
- Eye bore: 4.5 mm
- Eye thickness: top 6 mm, bottom 5 mm
- Shaft diameter: 4 mm
- Shaft thread: M4

10mm shorter than stock shocks :/
eye to eye

Or maybe 4x Baja front shocks + wide arms ...
Dimensions (f/r):
Mounting hole distance: 187 mm
Travel: 62 mm
Diameter: 20 mm
6 mm shock shaft

22mm longer than stock
eye to eye


Wish i had room for these brutal shocks LOL!
Dimensions:
Mounting hole distance (extended): 173 mm
Total length (extended): 190 mm
Travel: 56 mm
Shock shaft diameter: 6 mm
Body diameter: 30 mm

I might do that (but for a large part it will be the same as other Alza 5B builds on this forum).

I also ordered the Xerun 150A because I heard some good stories about it.

For the shocks I was planning to use the 8 shocks that are used on the nitro versions of the Savage but several people recommended that I should take a look at the Losi XXL LST shocks. These can be found very cheap on eBay and using this kit they can be mounted on the standard Savage shock towers.

In this thread you can see what the shocks and kit look like.

I would like to see at least 4mm shaft on shocks...

[Knez]

Wow, ver ynice build.
Will you have any spear XL aarms for sale ?
Nice bumpers, you could make more of them
If they hold i would be interesting...
Also where did you order custom dogbones ?
Very interested in mid. diff conversion.


Do you know the size of xxl shocks from eye to eye ?

The shaft size for these Losi XXL shocks could be 4mm (if they are the same as the LST2 shocks) : http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/shocks.html but I will measure them when they arrive.

Just to be sure, that car is not mine but from a nice guy from Belgium. I don't know if he has an account here, I can point him to this thread so maybe he can answer your questions.

Hi,

first i wanna say great build and i like it a lot, specially love costum stuff u cutted.

So u didnt tested towers that you made ?
When will you cut the XXL a-arms ?
If the material holds, do you intend to make them any for sale too -?
Would be interested in 13mm longer aarms than stock + towers..

Will subscribe to your thread ...
