Thanks! I am still using stock springs. 50wt oil fronts, 35 rear. Front end is standard gearing, rear is UD.

Before I press the pay now button with Dlux, it says locker out of stock with his front knuckles & ofna shafts combo. I have the Axial locker just wondering if you know or anybody knows(pm"d Erik) if the locker is modified in any way to accept his drive cups pictured on his site? If not im ready to get these bad boys on the way here!!!

As you can see its shakedown time for this nearly stock rig:twisted:

 

[DickyT]

The locker is unmodified as far as I know. Shoot Erik a PM just to verify, but you should be good to go.

I pulled the trigger its ordered already! I know he will make it right if he dont have a locker(like maybe a modded front housing)lol no really i cant wait to get it back together now that its down:roll:

So DickyT- Who can we talk into making a LCG chassis for this? Hint Hing Wink Wink Dlux......

In all honesty, I am wanting to build mine up as a trophy truck, and was really looking through it last night. I really cannot see a way to get much help in a LCG setup, as they battery and motor are the heaviest parts, and they are up high. I am sure with some thought though we can come up with something. I think removing that darn huge RX box is a start.

:idea: how about a traxxas 2wd front end or just take out the gut from the front end of the EXO, i wonder if that would work..and lock up the center diff...
Just my 2 cents."thumbsup"

 

[RickM]

Ok. I am busy taking my time building up this yeti I bought used, and should have some parts coming in today. I think the rear axle is going to get some love. I also bought a STRC bell crank.

DickyT- Did you ditch that beautiful VP steering-majiger for the entire STRC setup?

 

[DickyT]

Yeah Rick, I did. The VP piece is pretty, but the STRC piece fit their bell crank better.

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been laid up all week with a nasty stomach bug.

I finally broke something on the Squatch today during a stupidly abusive flogging. RIP revo rod end! lol
