The new steering angle with the XVD's does look good :twisted:

The DMG chassis pieces are also installed. A major improvement in chassis stiffness.

Do the rc4wd cvds actually increase the steering angle over stock? I would think the knuckles and links hitting the pumpkin would determine the steering angle? The angle in the pics looks great (by scaler standards). If you have any insights...Post up. "thumbsup"
The problem is that the stock dog bones don't stay engaged at full lock therefore the EPA's need to be turned down.
Well after almost completely tearing the car down tonight it is all back together. Several hours of wrenching and a couple hundred bucks in new parts and I'm on to a whole new phase.
I didn't get a chance to run the new XVD's yet but they are installed and seem to be MUCH smoother than the stock dog bones. Tomorrow is going to be 105 degrees here without the heat index so I'm guessing I won't be doing a shake down tomorrow :roll:
Your toes nails look good in that color :lmao::lmao:"thumbsup"
Rig is looking sweet a$$ :mrgreen:
I wondered who the smartass would be that made the comment! :lol:
You know mine are orange though!
Well the SCX10 shocks were nice to get my ride height down but offered almost no dampening power. The stock shocks are decent but I wanted an upgrade.
So I just picked up two sets of these Powerstroke front shocks for the Traxxas Slash. Should be a good looks and performance gain.

You will love those shocks.
These work great on the ends.

Picked up a set of those.
when i bake the ca off my tires i preheat the oven to 350 or so, then turn it off when hot and then put the tires in. that way you can forget about them and not burn your house down.
one thing to make sure of, is that your wheels are vented before baking. ive ruined tires before due to the air inside expanding and stretching out the tires.
You'd have to have some pretty severe A.D.D. to forget about some tires in the oven :shock:
The stock Wraith wheels come stock vented, but a useful time on other vehicles maybe.

Would these be better all around then for crawling/trail rides, the then proline scaler shocks?
The scaler shocks just don't have the volume to deal with duty of a rig this large. I expect these to be better all around shocks.

Ok makes sense. Thanks.
Well since I removed the dig unit I am now adding dual winches to this rig.
So I grabbed two new Futaba S9157 servos out of the stockpile and got ready to go to town!
I didn't have much time to do anything tonight so I decided to just get the servos converted for now. I will likely need to order they Heyok controllers but for now I will be going a different direction and they won't be needed yet. I will be killing the power to the servos with a 3 position switch on the rig so there really won't be a chance to drift (in theory).
I used Norm's thread on converting a winch to get me started as I haven't converted a servo in YEARS.
Starting point
The innards.
Pop the bearing off the bottom of the main gear
Remove the plastic piece that keys into the potentiometer.
Plug the servo in to your radio gear with everything powered up and turn that little brass piece until the servo stops spinning. Then I added some CA glue to hold it in place.
Just reassemble and your done. Pretty freaking easy 8)

I'll get onto fabbing up the mounts and spools later on. "thumbsup"
I may have to go bug Jerry at the DMG :twisted:

Dammit Josh, whats up with you painting your toenails again? I thought we talked about this,lol
BTW, using the Heyok hack is really the best way to convert a winch. I have his new High voltage ones and they are awesome. and for the record, Its Grizz's How too on the conversion."thumbsup"
