The "Un Stuck" Sporty!

[Stuck]

So here is what it started out as. Really rough and ugly. I ran this chassis for a year and a half now with good results.

But I wanted to bring it to life so I reached out to Robbob (told him not to laugh) with the idea but it needed to be fixed up, cleaned up and a Krazed touch put to it. So I sent it to the Krazed Builds lab…and here it is, the new “Un Stuck” Chassis from Krazed Builds. Showed up last night along with my smash plate and this thing looks awesome. Rob designed to skid to work with a Hulksta transmission or an Axial transmission.

So first thing I wanted to do was get the trans installed and make sure it all lined up.

Fit perfectly "thumbsup"

Thats all I got done last night. Hoping to get the axles buttoned up tonight.

It was def a fun project and cant wait to see it brought to life and the tweaks and changes we can do along the way. "thumbsup"

Gonna be a game changer in a lot of aspects to the 2.2S class Im thinking :twisted:.

Thanks Rob. Glad you had time to take on this project."thumbsup"

Good start, I'm going to be very interested to see what your motor and pinion combo will be for this build. I'm currently working on a 2.2 trail rig project utilizing a Hulksta Standalone gearbox and can use some schooling. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Stormin. Im running an OG Holmes Flow but the pinion size escapes me. I'll have to take a look and get back to you on that.


I got the smash plate installed.

Had to clearance the case a bit to make the servo sit nicely and installed the servo

Got my home made electronics tray on there too.

Hopefully get it to roller status this weekend"thumbsup"

Looks like a lot of caster, is there room to run the steering link above the driveshaft?

 

[roksloski]

Joel, looks great...! "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Looks like a lot going on there....

Are the axles as wide as xr ???


Robbob does great work....."thumbsup""thumbsup"

There is a little more caster than I'd like because of the BTA steering but its not too bad. Oh and BTW I'm running a 20T pinion.

No room to run the link above the drive shaft. And don't mind the long *ss screws. Thats on my list of things to do

Joel, looks great...! "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Thanks Mike!

Ya that front axle is a busy place and yes they are full XR width.

Rob does some excellent work!

Well I got it all linked up this weekend.

I got my drag link mocked up. Anyone who saw the first one will think this is an improvement.:ror: Now i need to order a TI link to bend up

AND It's a roller.

Gonna try to get the electronics installed tonight and tie up some loose ends. BUT i couldn't wait. Tossed everything else on there including a battery. This should be really close the RTR weight.

Thanks For Looking"thumbsup"

are those the upper link spots and angles you ran on the original chassis? just curious.

got mine powered up the other night and was very impressed with how it felt just on my makeshift practice spot at home.

Yup same positions. I am 2nd hole down front and back. I figured I would start with them in the original positions and see how it handles.

Nice! I saw that you were 2nd down in front and 3 down in rear. Is that the way your still running? Once I get it rolling we will have to compare notes

To start I am but my rear links are on top of the rear plate so theyre a little more parralell with the ground I think. Just habit for me.

Once the other tester gets his rolling I wanna watch where you guys settle in on your links so I can tweak around that.

Looking good Joel!"thumbsup"

I hear you, its busy behind the front axle. Your moving quickly on a weekend deadline and its looking good. Thanks for the pinion info. I'm currently running a 18t and the motor gets barely warm but the wheel speed is a bit slow.

Good luck with the new rig. "thumbsup"

 

[Szczerba]

Very cool build. Makes me want to build up another. A lot of cool parts.

 

[travis c.]

Dang Joel, that was a fast build, light too!"thumbsup"

Thanks Stormin. My motor barely get warm as well. Was gonna try a 22. Let you know how it goes.

Hey Travis. Ya I did all of the figuring out while i was building and testing so except for the new axle tubes most of it went right back together with the new CF parts. Yup Im liking the weight. Dropped 2oz from the original so far"thumbsup" but i'll see how it does.

Well its been a busy week but I got the electronics installed and it lives. I had to make an ABS extension to my E tray so that everything would fit nicely and still have room for the drag link. Also added some 5mm external limiters to the front shocks to keep the brace's from smashing down onto the electronics. Probably could use a little more but I will start there.

With everything installed and a little tweaking. Im sitting at 2 7/8 at the front of the skid.

A Dlux package showed up with my link sliders (Installed) and VP came thru super fast with my TI link. Time to finish the steering, make up a battery tray and give it a shakedown run. Gonna try to work out any bugs before our comp next weekend, BUT if not...... I'll run it anyways"thumbsup"

 

[Robbob]

Wow got that thing together pretty quick.

Can you take this shot from the other side? :mrgreen:
