Thats all on the building for now, i will be testing this rig this weekend hopefully? It really seems to be a great start with cog & wheelbase at high speeds around the house but it will hit the rocks & trails to see where it needs improvement"thumbsup"

About time Tom!!!!!

The front wrap around cage is Killer! I might have to look into something for mine...
The key function, for me, would be for a winch.

Let's see some outdoor pics!

Ty Troy! I like how it adds strength in the front. I plan to add a winch just gotta figure out what type winch & a way to mount it...any ideas? I hope to get out Sun with a few guys to see what it can/cant do? Outdoor action pics will be a must"thumbsup"

 

[winnerone23]

I got my hands on a servo winch. They can be mounted in the chassis and the line ran thru a tube of some sort, to get it to the front/fairlead

I was just looking at it & looking at making alum plate for rear to mount winch & use 3/16(or smaller dia tube) brake line with flared ends to the fairlead?

A lil testing today...







I had a blast with this thing! Only noticed torque twist & i need to change rear shock pistons to allow more oil to pass thru!!!

Everything held up...til i got home for inspection.


I do think I can handle those two lil issues:lmao:

The SEXO was impressive at high speeds & jumping with mild crawling today! Gonna hit the rocks testing at local comp spot soon...

Got any updates on this beautiful sexy beast. Still rockin the brushless? And how has the ssd tie rod held up?

I'm in the process of building up something similar, thanks for the pics

Can you post some pics of the bottom of the chassis? It's basically just a Wraith skid screwed to the Exo cage?
