Hey guys. So after running my super bully 65:1 with BWD wedge chassis all last season I decided to change it up for the new season. My old setup was in the 9 pound range.
New for the 2012/2013 season. Specs:
*Chassis: Y-town CF Super Juice.
*Links: Titanium custom links from my buddy Marc AKA "moes670".
*Gearbox: Berg V1 with drilled stock gears, (Thanks JB), RC Bros lockers, Mann 2nd gears, and CKRC 3rd gears for now untill John's stock of SDS 3rds are availible. Dlux case cover. Dlux adjustable upper link mount. And case milled by Dlux. (thanks Erik).
*Tubes: Dlux delrin custom offeset tubes with D-lux lower link mounts and Dlux servo mounts. Axial AX10 C-hubs with Bully machined knuckles.
*Axle shafts: Bully XVD axle shafts modified in length and at the locker to fit this setup with berg cases. (These will be replaced with either VP shafts or SDS shafts soon I hope).
*Shocks: 4" Big Bores lathed down by Dlux, Mini-T red springs all around, JeepinDoug spring cups, 27.5 oil all around.
*Wheels/tires/foams: Blast wheels 1" shaved down, open cell nova 7.5" dual stage foams, 8" rovers with moab sidewalls.
*Knuckle weights holders: Made by Sven to hold VP slugs.
*Electronics:
1. Motors: Team Brood Vapor (lightweigth motors). 45t HHK arms, epoxy balanced, ground, polished, and dyed. lathed cans, lightweight endbell mods, ceramic bearings, team brushes and springs. (I also have new 45t GT arms with "the works" that I can try in these cans).
2. Servos: One Hitec 7980 on each axle.
3. ESC's: Dual Tekin FXR's decased and wired/shrunk down with a pair of CC bec's in there as well. Mounted on Rowdy tray. (I had fun with this).
4. RX: Nomadio 4ch reciever that is way too large.
5. Battery: Sky lipo 3S 800mah. Mounted on homemade mount.
That is the basically all of it I think. It was a fun and stressfull build. I am pretty happy with it. It is done for the moment and ready for the comp in two days. I ran two packs thru it and it works well. Future plans are to get new axle shafts/knuckles, CF wheels, aluminum hollow rod balls when they come in stock, and some more titanium hardware to replace the little bit of steel that is left.
Thank you to all the great vendors and to all the great people that made this build possible. "thumbsup"
RTR weight with 12oz total of knuckle weight is: 6.36 pounds.
