First thread in a while, I figured with how slow the forum has been, I might as well contribute something.
This is a pretty basic build… well, assembly.
[mention]txbart [/mention] listed an assembled but all brand new VS410 Pro based project for sale at an incredible price, so I knew I had to jump on it. And even though I didn’t have a plan in mind at the time, it didn’t take long once the rig showed up.
This was built to a really good standard, and while it may seem like a step backwards, I already have a really nice pro with clear d44 housings.
Ever since the f10 portals were released, I’ve had the idea of putting together my ideal version of a VS410 Ultra. I had an ultra for a short period, but found the f9 portals to lack in steering angle, and be a little too heavy for my liking.
So step one was tear down and sell the parts I wasn’t going to use. After all was said and done I was basically left with
Origin body
Vs410 chassis
Reefs 422hd v2 servo
VP clamping servo horn
Holmes Crawlmaster sport 16t (donated from a past project)
I had already sold the pro transmission before deciding to make this a project. But I found a good deal on a used kit/ultra spec vfd and got that coming asap
Then once my PayPal account recovered, I scored a deal on a Phoenix portal kit, and some falken mt’s from [mention]JSterrett [/mention]
Sorted through what I did and didn’t want from the kit, and ended up with
Axles
Links
Driveshafts
80mm s8e shocks (not pictured)
And that’s where I’m currently at. Next steps for me are assembling the axles, links and shocks, replacing bearings in the vfd, and then deciding on a wheel and tire package.
Tire wise, I’m either using some Pitbull rock beasts, or falken mt’s.
Wheels will be vanquish of some sort, possibly grey tanks(from another rig), or some sort of 310, 101, or machete.
I also need to grab an Esc, I’ll most likely go with a Hobbywing 1080 to keep this thing low budget/reliable. No
