It was actually so easy

Only took 10 minutes for 2

**kdvanb** · 01-12-2013, 09:16 PM

I went out and noticed this
My rpm a arms are somewhat grinded away by my driveshafts since I had so much camber at the rear
Oops..

**seanycool** · 01-12-2013, 09:34 PM

wait, lightbulb, i must have too much camber in the rear- maybe that's why there's a notch cut away on my rpm a arms.

Are you going to run stampedish tires on it?

**kdvanb** · 02-06-2013, 06:05 PM

I think I'll do 2.2/3.0 trenchers or badlands
Maybe 2.8
I'm not quite sure

First thing I need is to make it waterproof again
My receiver box is... Broken

**DiggerPede** · 02-07-2013, 12:48 PM

Reason i'm asking what size treads you plan on running. If you decide on 2.8's (stampede) i'd go with the 3800kv motor, it would be less heat to worry about (you know that already). Now staying with SC tires the 4600 would be a screamer!!! Just my input.

**kdvanb** · 02-08-2013, 05:13 PM

Isn't it always

**kdvanb** · 02-12-2013, 09:31 PM

This truck will not be touched for along time

I will posts updates occasionally to see what's happening
I hope to get a new motor and esc in awile

**kdvanb** · 03-18-2013, 08:38 PM

Well during vacation in Florida we headed to the hobbytown USA in Melbourne
Saw a mmp for 80$ and the 4600 for 80$ but my dad said that he doesn't want me spending more money..
So Im gonna try out a traxxas stinger

Any ideas on gearing??
Thanks

**orca44** · 03-18-2013, 09:43 PM

Too bad you couldn't get the mmp and 4600 kv motor.. would have been a real nice package

**kdvanb** · 03-18-2013, 10:50 PM

It would have been..
But he liked the idea of me buying a 20$ motor better

Oh well.. Hopefully it doesn't die.. If it does I'm not gonna dump anymore into the motors..

Just wait a few months.. Then I'll buy some stuff and my dad will be fine with it..
I've spent 500$ in the past month.. Need to chill out for awile

LOL most of the time I buy all my big ticket items when my dad is gone..
Fun stuff

**kdvanb** · 04-12-2013, 06:52 AM

Okay so...
My stingr died.. Within like 2 minutes 👎😔

So I might just put the vxl in it 👍

**epracine** · 04-12-2013, 08:27 AM

Woah that's cheap!
Would they ship to Canada though?
I doubt it...

I think I'm gonna just wait till my birthday in 3 months to get the system

**kdvanb** · 05-20-2013, 07:23 PM

UPDATE
So its all running again

I pulled my vxl from my slash 4x4
and took my2075 servo out of my dads rustler

the 2075 is really weak
I think its on its way out or im just used too my fast savox servo in my 4x4 or maybe even both

so that being said.. any suggestions for a new servo?

more pics

Also.. how many things of shoo goo should I need?

**kdvanb** · 06-23-2013, 11:03 AM

So as I mentioned my servo was getting weak or it just wasn't fast enough for my likings
I purchased a Savox SC1258TG servo

this is how I mounted it.. don't know if its how you all do it..

RPM Transmission case

after

**nunster** · 06-26-2013, 12:42 AM

Talking about old slashes? My two chassis is from the first production run. Back when the tires were 2.2/2.2 and still am using the bodies that came with them. They are held together with mud tape and shoe goo but the bodies are still useable.

**kdvanb** · 01-27-2014, 01:08 PM

All of these parts were supposed to be used in my rustler build but I decided I would freshen up my slash instead
I know its been a long time but here she is!

STRC Rear Shock tower

STRC rear carriers

with avidrc bearings installed

these parts on the truck

STRC front shock tower

STRC front bulkhead

STRC steering rack

**kdvanb** · 01-27-2014, 01:12 PM
