Vanquish Products Hurtz Shifter Dig

[Creepy Inc.]

There would need to be some modifications made. The dig is made to fit the stock housing. Unless your aluminum tranny housing matches the shape of the stock housing, it might not be best to try to adapt it. The easiest way would be to cut the top part of the dig off, using only the two lower bolts to attach. Also the left rear screw boss area might need to be relieved on the dig housing(screw holding the tranny to the chassis). Some filing might also have to be done on the tranny housing to mate up the two parts.

That dose sound like a lot of work. :shock:

You should not need a build thread, The Dig is very simplistic! instructions are included with every Hurst dig,

You can also search Hurst dig and Gunners delrin Build for detailed photos!"thumbsup"

Sorry Kris, the SSS has the Vanquish dig. Delrin has the Eritex. No build post needed as you said. Super easy to assemble! Only took a minute.

ok, so, what's the average ship time on this? if I order it before noon today (friday) can it be here in time for me to get it installed and tweaked before roadtripping to go play on a sick course friday or am I too short on time?

 

[SCRC]

Yeah I figured it out, got it 2 work great with the help of my buddie tommer.

 

[Locked Up]

Can I get a measurement from the face of the dig that touches the tranny to the back where the output comes out. Not including the output.


Gunnar, the micro servo is working it with no issues? How about when it is bound up?


Does the .180 lbs weight include the servo mount and the hardware?

 

[dhyde79]

got mine ordered today.....they say I should have it tuesday/wednesday, hopefully that'll give me the time to get the custom links built so that I don't have to go to a shorter rear shaft....but, if all else fails I'll just bust out a stock shaft and cut it to fit....and make a second incase I destroy that one too....

not sure what servo I'm going after yet.....digging through tower hobbies to see what kind of deal I can find, since I know I can get an order from them here pronto...since going to a LHS in town isn't an option due to my work schedule between now and when I'm leaving to go crawl next friday.....

 

[dhyde79]

it's in, it's installed, and it's tweaked to (near) perfection, thing runs like a champ! love it, now to go test it out.....

Well, I ordered a VP Dig myself a couple days ago, along with the Pro-Comp Revolvers.

Cant wait to get these products. I know they will be top notch and go a long way towards improving my rig. Just gotta work on the driver though...he needs some real work.

Anyways, a few questions. Currently I'm working with a 2.4 3PM. The 3rd channel switch is only a 2 positions switch, so I'm thinking that until I get a different radio, I'm going to have to either give up free wheeling or the locked rear axle. I'm going to guess I'm will stick with giving up free wheeling as the turning radius may be more useful.

And can anyone recommend a place to buy a micro or mini servo? I can fab up my own mount no problem. just not sure where to buy anything other than standard servos...

Tower Hobbies.com I would go with the Futaba 3102 Micro steel gear servo, It put out like 72 oz. of torque, Plenty for the Hurst dig, Just my .02, you may want to check out Gunner's Threads on The Mounts, Great Mounts and very cheap price!!

Yea, that 3102 works pretty good, I was having no problems at all yesterday running it around, worked every time"thumbsup"

 

[KROGOTH]

For now, I think when I get my DMG chassis in, I will see if i can fit in a standard size servo. Once i get back to the states I will work on fitting in a micro servo. I cant be bothered to wait for even more parts out here. The 2 week+ wait is a killer for real.

does anyone have the overall length measurement for the housing?
