time for some ripsaws spike"thumbsup"

actually my lhs is ordering me some 1.9 mickey thompson baja claws ttl and I will be the first to buy them from him. The reason for this is because the flat irons are 104 or 105mm and the baja claws are 120mm tall I'm hoping to fill out the truck, we shall fit and see. I'm also thinking of painting the rims black as well

very nice...

thank you!

nice rig

and nice ICP sticker :twisted:

Yeah, I bought the ICP sandals, kept the plastic part that held them, and cut it apart and used it for my truck. gotta display something that I like besides my monster drinks! lol

Big update, many pictures, you've been warned lol

Got my servo back from Hitec

My new workshop

Broke my fog lights

Fixed them!

4-linked the rear Axle

Fixed the failed prototype 4 link connection. was a little wobbly

Added a shim to the lower links, they were wobbly in there, like half a millimeter too short. solved that problem.

Soldered my Light bar with the rest of the led wires

Light bar Finished Product

Went to lhs and got screws for the lightbar kit that came with my scx10 honcho kit. apparently axial jipped me on 5 tiny screws.

Reverse Lights Finished Project

Moved the rock sliders on an angle to fit the body angle, pointed inwards towards the front.

Flex shot in the new shop!

Looking good!

If you are ever down around Abbotsford let me know. We have a super-sweet scaler spot here.

 

[crawlhog]

[Colorofkris]

sounds like a plan! i love drivin my truck

come on spike, no scratches , way to clean, are you ever gonna drive it or is it just a shelf queen:ror:

negative I've put probably 100km and killed each battery 15 times or more!

burnt out a rc4wd 35T motor too!

yeah thats why I don't like lexan, i like hard body. half the reason I traded the honcho body for the 4 door jeep! and I still have a 2 door jeep with a 10" wheelbase.

the lights work great! its nice now that when i night crawl, i can see behind the jeep instead of hitting sticks and rocks etc.. lol

I have more plans for this beast don't worry!

 

[crawlhog]

ive got an extra 55t if you want it ill ship it to you"thumbsup"

once my lhs orders those 20T axial motors that come with the wraith, i'll buy one of those, and I was thinking of buying a 45T tekken motor too.

I run the RC4WD 35T motor with a 15 tooth pinion and its perfect for rock crawling.

The axial 27T motor with a 23 or 25 tooth pinion is perfect for pullin wheelies and racing around the yard. the 20T motor would give that much more fun!

and the 45T should be just right, I'll try a 55T if I had one, I think it would be too slow for a scale crawler though? i bet tons of torque though!

I think I'll put 55T motors in a xr10 when i buy one next year.. and thats where i'll buy those ripsaws to play with

The 55t is really slow, but in certain settings such as crawling rocks an stuff the 55t is great, but its really slow for a scaler

Just gear it up....bigger pinion, smaller spur or both depending on desired wheelspeed. "thumbsup"

very true but thats when motors get hot

Update, Installed 4 new lights, finally the orange amber lights are installed thanks to the axial LED kit that came with my honcho kit. and also installed 2 more fog/rock lights on the bumper (more for me and what i see on the rocks) what I did is used the small 3mm LED buckets the one that is threaded with the nut, but the one that is only 1cm long. drilled it out with a 5mm drill bit, and the LED slid inside like nothing, but the end doesn't hold, but there is a good enough fit that the LED doesn't fall out. Anyways heres the pictures. Brings a total of 27 LEDs including the rear brake light on the hard top cover.

 

[Spiike]

Hello. Update!

Installed something on the grill to make it look mean.

Dug up the ol' mud pit and got her muddy

You can see on the top left here an interior light that works and is wired and lights up the dashboard

what do you guys think? I might remove it for my 1.9 scale (new paint job and stickers) "realism" build

 

[Spiike]

Hello everyone update here. Very picture heavy.

Okay, so i'll just write a large paragraph explaining everything i've done, and then you can check out the pictures of the work in progress and finished progress and other random pictures of the truck poser shots etc...

1st I made a Y harness Timaya with 12gauge wire from the LHS for the winch
2nd made an extension for the winch. so that I could temporarily use the button on the controller for the winch. until I buy a 4 channel tx and rx. probably the traxxis.
3rd Moved the front bumper up and farther forward, this was to stop the front tires from rubbing the bumper on full articulate. This also makes the bumper belong to the front of the jeep.
4th added Novak stickers due to the novak super rooster reversible ESC, found them at LHS
5th fixed broken LEDs
6th fixed skull head on front of grill. looks better.
7th added bungee cord eyes
8th fixed tow ropes with heat shrink
9th added eyes on front bumper, and 2 eyes on chassis in rear.
10th added an interior light, might of said that in previous post, but forgot to take a good picture of it lit up at night

Updated Spec list.
Waterproofed Novak Super rooster reversible ESC
Stock Spur 87t
Axial 27Turn with 21,25 tooth pinion, RC4WD 35turn 15tooth pinion

Spike's custom 29 LED system Fog lights, Brake lights (doesn't dim), reverse lights (attatched to esc), Light bar, running turn lights (no blink)
Proline Flat irons 1.9
3racing winch @ 8.4v nimh

havin problems with this rear 4 link... flexes a lot and makes the whole rear axle slide sideways with torque twist.

oh and my rc4wd 35t motor was smelly today my 2nd one.. dissappointing.
