Its actually not that hard a all. Pull off the side panels and undo the 3 buttonhead screws on each side, then the undo the top screws from the shocks and the cage pops right off.

Jato Gets Offerings to Build the Teal Terrifier H10 Optic
- Thread starter JatoTheRipper
- Start date
there are the 2 tranny screws as well to take out.
I forget about those again lol
Not difficult, but it’s still an additional 12 screws to get access to the chassis. And I’m lazy.
With an electric driver it isnt so bad. Beats working on a bomber or wraith. Hell id rather do that than take the body pins out of my jl body equipped vs410 pro.
I think this depends on your local terrain.
With our group we usually go through dirt trails and some with rocks and technical features. From what I've seen from the RTR optic, it's long wheelbase is at an advantage on steep climbs and side hills as the CG is relatively low. It certainly outperformed my Phoenix Portal on some climbs.
I also think disadvantages of the long wheelbase could be balanced out with tires larger than the typical 4.75" diameter since it would aid in breakover angle.
Oh for sure the longer wheelbase helps with climbs. Larger tires raises the center of gravity though so that affects sidehill performance, etc.
My SHV500 seems to clear. Do these photos help or am I missing what you're saying? The servo is close to the front bumper mount, but clears there.
You can see I get full articulation.
I found this Fusion Pro button holder mesh on Thingiverse and thought it was a good solution. I was unsure of where I wanted to mount the power button. The only problem is that now the cage is tied to the chassis via this wire.

I used M3x5mm button head screws and flat washers from this scAmazon screw kit to attach it to the cage. Those standoffs are shallow so be careful not to strip them out.
Vanquish H10 Optic Radiator Cover with Fusion 2-1 Holder by dinger316
Radiator cover w/Integrated Fusion 2-1 power button holder. Mounts on the underside of the rear support above radiator sliding over the existing bosses. Secured using 4 M3x4 button head screws.Due to tight fitment I had to rotate the top of the radiator towards the back of the truck to make room...

Now all that's left is the reveal. I present the Teal Terrifier!
Overall, it's a good looking rig. The all-teal without decals was a little bit too much. Now with decals it is too black. They should have met in the middle somewhere.

Nice. I cant decide if I want to remove some of the black portion of the stickers before apply them or just let the rocks erode the stickers away.
Looks good! What are your thoughts so far on the Treps? They have to be leaps and bounds better than the Axial variant....I hope

On my kit, the servo was pressing against the upper link rod end so it was causing binding. The SHV500 has a pretty chunky case in comparison to most servos and the clearance on the upper link is pretty tight.
I think it would look nice with some black removed. I do wonder how the black will look after some rock rash.
I haven't run this truck yet, so I can't give you any valuable feedback on the tires. They are Proline G8 compound which is always a good one. Definitely better than any Axial rubber compound. The carcass feels fine. These medium Injora inserts are definitely on the firm side though.
Thankfully, I'm not having that issue. I just checked and mine clears the link.

I keep reading this as the "teal terrier" rather than terrifier.
Since many other trail users I meet on trails comment that my truck looks like an unusually obedient dog, I guess that is appropriate.

Huh...I was reading it as "Teal Terrific-er" Whoops.
Getting old.
Getting old.
Man, you guys must be more disconnected from pop culture than me! And that's saying something because I see maybe one movie a year...maybe. Art the Clown, from the "Terrifier" movie series, has been all over your favorite site that has any reels or shorts. Plus, with Terrifier 3 just being released this past Halloween season, he's been all over the place.
Art the Clown is this lovable and hilarious clown who just happens to be a cold-blooded murderer.
He will be my driver figure as soon as I find the appropriate sized action figure!
Thank you! Yeah I always feel like that once a rig is built...until I put one scratch on it them it's game on. The first scratch hurts!
Looks great jato, I’m a big fan of the throttle therapy livery, and the clear wheels go well with it
