Spiike's SCX10 Jeep 4 Door (Caution Picture Heavy)
- Thread starter Spiike
- Start date
its water resistant now "thumbsup":lmao:
I got the old exceed servo installed right now, with limited left turning, and full right turn.
Also burnt out my RC4WD 35T motor mud bogging, through thick thick thick stuff. so no more mud boggin with the 35T. will have to mud bog with less mud and the 27T axial motor. good thing we got a spare 35T motor.
Was thinking of purchasing the tekkin Rock Crawler Brushed Motor 45T from my LHS when he orders it in for me. for rock crawling only, i found that the 35T is good for trail/crawling, but not good for just slow rock crawlin. and the 55 would be too slow for trail riding.
I found that the 14T and 15Tooth pinions work good on the 35T motor.
ALso found that the 25T and 23tooth pinions don't work on the 27T axial motor. i asked the question a few posts ago, but anyone have any suggestions to get these pinions to work well? like what sort of setup would run better.
I was thinking of buying the 93 tooth spur gear for the 15tooth or 17tooth pinion on the 35T rc4wd motor. and buying a 80tooth spur to play around with the 21 or 23 tooth pinions on the axial 27t motor for top speed and playing in the fields near my house.
i get the part where it says smaller pinion = more torque and smaller spur = more torque. i just don't understand why my 35T motor heats up with a 17tooth pinion. with the 87t spur

wow, your truck is freakin loaded! It sure is a beast. Your doin a great job on it. Keep it up."thumbsup"
Thank you very much, its great to see that somebody else appreciates all the hard work i've done to make this a beautiful jeep to drive.
Heres some updates
My 2nd battery
I bought spare pinions, to test, to find the perfect one. 23Tooth works very well on the 27T axial motor for playing in the yard and the park . and 15Tooth works very well on the 35T RC4WD motor for crawling
I bought some ball point allen keys made by great planes. very good price compared to the other ball points i seen at the hobby shop. bought a nice tool set from the dollar store, and i found that the allen keys fell out of the tools, then i used it in the drill for quick speed of removing allen screws.
My brother in laws mud pit. I'm stuck.
He can't push me out
Here is the video of me smoking my RC4WD 35T motor in the mud pit. You can clearly see that the smoke is just POURING out of the body. Thats when i stopped recording lol
This stuff I found at Walmart, better than WD40, waterproof and non-conductive. I was thinking of using it inside my servo, but I don't think its thick enough of grease to use inside the servo gears. but does it ever work great for driveshafts, spur/pinion gear, CV joints, exposed bearings and axle inputs... truck runs smoother than ever using this stuff vs WD40.
This is a Speed Gems 2 Jade motor, I tried getting it to work, I found at the pawn shop for $10, but i'm going to return it because it smokes everytime i run it. So i'll wait till my LHS gets a Axial 20T motor or a venom viper 15T motor. or something similar for my need for speed. and thats the smoked 35T RC4WD motor. I took the bullet connectors and put them on the speed gems 2 motor. tested it out last night and shes garbage.

Nice build looking at that gives me ideas for my tow rig that I am building. Have you thought of going lipo instead of nicd I recently switch my ax10 over
i switched from 8 cell nicd AA to 7 cell nimh sub C size and i'm liking it, I may try 3 cell lipo in the future, I just need the castle creations usb wire to configure lipo cutoff on my ESC. I have plenty of torque now that the grease wore in well and i rebuilt my driveshafts with fresh thread lock and is holding much better! not so loose. I may plan to upgrade those drive shafts to something more sturdy like the MIP or Junfac!

Looks like in your video you should have tried to weave your steering back and forth, that might have helped haha. That is just too cool that your bro in law likes the same thing you do.
the servo wasn't strong enough to push that stuff, it was made for 2.2 tires! lol and these aren't the best mud tire out there 
i'm in a toss up between 1.9 tsl super swampers, 1.9 mikky thompsons baja claws and those 1.9 iloks and those 1.9 roklox
I was thinking the claws or the iloks because one is 114mm tall which would give the jeep a little bit more "beef" to fill out the rims and wheel wells.
Here I've fixed the wheel base, I stuck the 98mm links in the rear, and I cut the bumper a little so it don't rub the tire. She looks right and perfectly center to the wheel wells. only issue I have is with the bumper, I drilled a hole in the last part of it, I can't put it out any farther, meaning there is no room for the winch, and I also bent the bumper mount upwards from taking jumps with a front end heavy rig. So I will need to replace it with an aluminum one and stop jumping lol
Removed unnecessary weight for rock crawling for now.
After wheelbase was fixed, body was mounted 1/8th of a inch lower, LED wires wrapped a bit better with the esc wires. Removed half inch of flairs in the front and removed part of the flair that hit the bumper when mounting the body, and 1/8th of inch in rear, rounded the flairs and then got it real messy. Took her for a spin in the rain, played in the dirt and crawled around a bit till the battery died.
and of course rear/front flex shot, and single tire flex
feedback is welcome thanks for looking!
*edit*
wheelbase from wheel hub to wheel hub is 12.8"

spike think about the ripsaw tires, i couldnt believe how good they work. had a bunch of guys over yesterday and we did some testing and the SAWS really held there own. they really stick like glue on the rocks, and dig like mad in the mud and dirt. for 22 bucks a pair you wont be sorry"thumbsup"
the saws are 5.5 inches, gives you great clearance on the axles. lines i couldnt make before are not a problem anymore, now my 10 goes where the bully does. everyone was really suprised how good they worked they kept up and actually worked better than those pricey tires. ill send you some pics

I really want to get a set of saws, but they wont fit in my wheel wells
IU have heard nothing but great things about umSame here, if I buy bigger shocks, the integy driveshafts bind. I would have to remove my flairs and part of the body so the 2.2 can articulate without rubbing. I'm going to stick to 1.9. It would be nice if they made those rip saw in 1.9
Thats why I was thinking of trying those Interco Irok that are 118mm
http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_info.php?products_id=1674
these 1.9 tsl super swamper boggers are 120mm tall
http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_info.php?products_id=1620
these 1.9 mikky thompsons baja claws are 120mm tall
http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_info.php?products_id=1590
the flat irons in 1.9 measure 105mm
and the 1.9 version of the interco super swampers are 109mm
I would really like to stick to 1.9 just a bit taller tires... and then when i purchase the axial xr10 i'll get 2.2 ripsaws lol

Pictures taken with the cell phone and uploaded to facebook, and forgot to put on RCC
Shock Mount I made out of steel for when I get better drive shafts (incase I don't get longer shocks) but most likely i'll buy scale shocks before i do (i hope)
Gotta represent Axial somehow

i run wheel extenders with mine, barely even had to trim the body. very little rubbing if any"thumbsup"
however, I would loose scale appearance and would be turning it into a monster jeep crawler vs the bushwacker mudder jeep. i have plans for this but i do want to get those 120mm tires they are exactly 15mm taller and would make it look like this jeep, but mine will be more of a mudder crawler with exocage when im done! unless i destroy the body before that happens lol
