Help building my Krazed Un-stuck crawler

[icculus]

I have only built kits till now. Was looking for more of a challenge. The set up is going to be a challenge!

I'm still waiting on some parts to become available, so I have not started my UnStuck yet.

I have also been using all-thread to mock up my links on my other trucks. Was curious where you ended up as a reference, to buy some Ti rod. I live in a rural area, mail order everything, and I get mad when I run short on supplies..... "Dre SMASH"!

I saw you had some knowledgeable folks chiming in on your build, so I have been lurking, filling up on info. Trying to not ask redundant questions.....

I can figure the links out when I get to it, no worries.

Thanks for the reply.

Granted the width measurements are a bit different but I'm running out boarded shocks on the rental.

And outboarded links on the main rig.

I measured with them on the truck. Didn't have time to take them off to measure, but next time I will make a note of it.

Rear 110mm center hole to center hole
Front 88mm center hole to center hole

Update I did last week:
Decided I needed to adjust the front angle and where it ended up cause the shock spring to touch the rx box alittle, also with certain angles of flex the new body would touch the rx box and the esc and servo wires coming out of it maybe causing problems down the road so I decided to move the rx box under the small plate. I like it, looks cleaner and I have no interference threw out suspension movement.

Update I did today:
I found a longer servo arm I wanted to try since I wasn't satisfied I maxed out the adjustments to barely reach full lock out. With the new arm I reach lock out with the end points set no more the 100 on my controller were before they were maxed out at 120. To me it feels smoother and more consistent threw the full motion of steering. Where before I felt I had a cam'ing issue at certain points no matter what angle(s) I bent into the drag link. Is their a reason you guys don't run longer servo arms? From what I see its mostly the short or long 24mm servo arms used. Only draw back I could think of was in a bad crash that impacted on the end of the servo arm may put more stress on the servo shaft because it's longer hence more leverage.

I'll include photo of arm for part number

I just had a hernia operation this Monday so I can't go anywhere for a few more days to see or feel the difference. Stuck home and no longer have my course in the backyard.

The 25 spline version of that arm is purple. I have 2 of them. :lol:

Rig looks good! Get healed up and go beat on it.
