[woodman]

A member of KCRC in Kansas City..doing modifications , helping create a comp. class to fill the void of the Losi predecessor of yesteryear ........Tires 4.45 BoomRacing Hustlers mtx on steel bead locks.....Lipo battery, with 2 different connector options.... New "DinkyRC" servo battery mounting plate, and steering link, tucked out of the way under that plate.......Its getting there..........
I think the lugs down the center of the stock tires are to big and close together....


The drive shaft stiffener....super glue it in....
I got .078 wire to fit into these drive shafts

Nice rig, what is that like an 800mah pack? My buddy just put a losi carbon battery plate on his gen 2 and is looking for batteries. Battery on axle works great, Ive been running that way for a couple years. Here is my gen 1. I use smaller 500mah packs

That's a nice rig....
My battery is a 1000mah lipo...

What's the length on those shocks is there any way I can talk you into taking a picture without the body on exactly where you mounted the shocks because I have a gen 1 and a Gen 2 and sometime in the future plan to get the Gen 1 back on the Road cuz I robbed some parts for my Gen 2 but I'd already upgraded Gen 1 with the wider axles. have you guys had any problems with spinning the axle shafts inside of the stock plastic bowler spool?

-Correct I am running gen 2 barrage axles/links and a barrage transmission/driveshafts with a Losi 1/18 motor. I've been meaning to bend the lower links, but it still works good.
-Sure I can snap a picture later. I drilled the holes where I mounted them. I'll post a link for them too, they Yeah Racing brand.
-Yes I blew out a rear spool, I just went to the Redcat Racing metal spools.

-These are the shocks. https://www.amazon.com/Yeah-Racing-Internal-Crawler-DDL-090RD/dp/B01JLRY292
-Redcat Spool. I suggest getting them while they're in stock, they seem to go like hot cakes. https://www.rcplanet.com/rc-parts/r...m-connect-box-with-gear-38t-680010-red680010/

Jeez, that's a really good deal. Dinky used to have some awesome Losi mini crawler parts if I recall. That servo plate comes with the tie rod and drag link for $22.50??

Portable crawler course piece's chainsaw carved rock....

Relocated the electronics, mounted loosely to the upper links...then cut and reversed the tray they were mounted in....

 

[Iriejohn]

HOW DID YOU GET YOUR LINKS PAST THE TRANSMISSION?

 

[woodman]

I made up these using some 1/8 plastic....

 

[Iriejohn]

Thanks for the pix. I would love to see a video.

After all the mods so far...the video begins with it on a 50° degree angle..... The plywood beyond that is on a 45° .....all part of the textured crawler course I built....
