id go with the tekin 45t motors. thats what i use in my xr10"thumbsup"

 

[articzap]

The normal 10A CC BEC is plenty good enough. Normal FXR's are plenty good, and a bit smaller. I love Br00d motors, period. Wouldn't buy anything else.

 

[bikeboy]

Yes I ended getting the fxr esc and tekin 35t combo but waiting for Holmes Crawler Master to be release - got the ugc viper - guess i need to update my list huh

 

[articzap]

Didn't realize how old this thread was.

 

[bikeboy]

Yeah shopping for all those stuff takes time, lots of stuff sold out and have to wait to order them - ahem vanquish wheels ;-)

 

[bikeboy]

add photos

Just got some part build and adding photos - used rc4wd gear box - more photos to come of vp product

 

[bikeboy]

Just add the viper chasis photos and shocks (stock)

 

[bozo]

[bikeboy]

Finally complete the build. Part one.
Going to run this for awhile while i wait for the vp front and rear link mount and reolace the gear to rc4wd gear
but for now this baby need some run time and mud and rock dust on it

It looks like you may have the front axle clocked too much.

X2, that servo is going to hang on everything.

X2, that servo is going to hang on everything.

What does he need to do....shorten his front links a bit?

 

[Chaotic Crawlers]

Shortening the front uppers will drop the motor down and bring your servo back up out of harms way.

X2, shorten them or move them back on the chassis.

 

[bikeboy]

hey guys thanks for the advice
ok i have some close up for you to look at
as for shortening the front upper (Black) (Link B) is this what your talking about? or the red alum. axial upper (link A)

thanks

 

[Jwatts]

They are saying to move links A in your pic. You might be able to simply move them back a few holes on your chassis and it should be fine. If not, then you will need to shorten them a bit. I had to do the same thing on mine and I was able to just move them back some holes on the chassis. Hope this helps.

 

[zjguy721]

x2 You have your chubs clocked back as far as they will go, but you need to shorten the upper links to rotate the entire axle back. What this does as well as helping clear the servo horn is to improve your breakover steering. I know some guys will notch out the slot on the chubs to clock them back even further (which I may find myself doing).

So, first thing would be to see if you can move the upper link mount on the chassis further back. Start there. If not, then you need to shorten the rod ends or the links altogether. "thumbsup" If that doesn't work, depending on your WB, you could lengthen the lowers too. Same effect, just depends on where your WB is sitting.

Nice lookin rig but those spray painted tranny covers are too glamerous for me
