how is the body attached to the enduro frame?

I've abandoned Savox servos also. Too power hungry. I'm giving AGFRC servos a try.



Dumb question - why the AR44 axles and not the stock enduro housings? More gearing options? Does the BTA steering still work?

I had sliders custom made that have mounting point set in the right place to fit that body to my chassis. The can be post as you see in the top picture or screw through the body holes into the mount as you see in the bottom pic. The last picture is not my RC, the top one is.

I would not consider anything but a direct power servo unless you have a good ESC with a good internal BEC that not only delivers the voltage for a better servo but also the needed amps.

Many think about the voltage but do not think about the amps. Enough Amps are neccessary if you want your servo to perform at its best. But then you have to worry about your receiver and any other accessories being able to handle the added voltage (amps are not a problem). I would want the internal BEC to deliver at least 6 amps, most are only 1 or 2 amps even though they have enough voltage. You can run off and external BEC with great results but that is more wiring and another component and if you have those other accessories or a receiver that can't handle the extra voltage you have to add in a bypass. It is just easier to go Direct power and not have to deal with the BEC and bypass crap. Less wiring and less components to fail.

The stock Enduro axles are low pinion and the shocks and links mount lower. This affects the ground clearance, esp the low pinion.

The low pinion also causes more torque twist.

AR44s are high pinion and links and shocks mount a little, better clearance esp wiht the pinion and they have less torque twist.

Plus far more option for parts and with AR44s. And they can be built stronger.

Good to know. I forgot about the high-pinion of the AR-44, and didn't know about the link mounts. Thanks.

There has been a couple new version of the Enduro and they still haven't changed the axles.

If they would get better axles it could probably be the best RTR.

Man, them sliders look great! They fit the body well!"thumbsup"

The whole rig looks great! Have always loved the look of this hard body!

I'd love to see more pics of this beauty!;-)

I had the sliders and bumpers custom made for specifically that RC by Blue Line Fabrication in Lebanon Missouri. The guys name is Scotty Bollin.
