Re: 4wd SRB Trailing arm buggy

Well, Scorpion universals are not the best thing for the front....and I cut too much off the outputs on the front diff for the CVDs I had fit up before, so I have to build another diff. Luckily, I had an extra for parts. Also, the Scorpion universals are 6mm out to the hex pin hole, so it messes up ...

Re: 4wd SRB Trailing arm buggy

I got a bunch of driveshaft stuff in the mail. Xtraspeed makes Scorpion universals, among other stuff, so I'm going to start seeing what I can do with the parts. I think the rear shocks need about 4-5mm in limiters to keep the bones from flying out. If I can get it together, I might be able to make ...

Re: 4wd SRB Trailing arm buggy

After last night I was pretty motivated to get the front end set up. I kinda cribbed off of 1300GT's steering set up, but used some MIP Rc10 steering arms. I wanted to set the servo off to the side so I could move the battery around or use a long pack. I don't know where the weight needs to be. I ca...

Re: 4wd SRB Trailing arm buggy

After like 4 months, I got back to this thing. Front shock fitment was at a stand still, but I decided to use Optima re re shocks. I mocked up a bunch of stuff, but the best way to get the shock in and keep it from hitting everything on the front end was to lop off the SRB mounts and make a fibergla...

Re: 4wd SRB Trailing arm buggy

I think if I make longer front towers and a long shock end I can run short golds on the front and still clear the drive axles. Built the Tamiya SRB diffs and installed them. I'll need to figure steering pretty soon as well. BTW Corally sedan CVDSfit almost perfectly, not that it's period correct. If...

Re: 4wd SRB Trailing arm buggy

A little. I recently have been looking at it again. Front shocks are hard to fit. I was looking at a few things...Scorpion rear shocks, CRP shocks like they used for the front of the frog.

I want to get this going...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

The Checkpoint motors of the same era were also really good and similar in design. The 19T "Money Motor" was awesome.

Re: F1 cars

I have a trf102 and enjoy it. Was thinking about getting an older Collectable f1 car. Any thoughts on f201 vs. road wizard other than the 2wd vs 4wd difference? Or is there another f1 to considered. Might use it for light use but mostly a shelf queen F201 will look great on the shelf with the full ...

Re: Raider and Rocky Gearbox Mod - How to Run Taller Gearing (bigger than a 15T Pinion)

Could you try a CRP frog motor mount? Or something similar?

REN is probably Bob Novak, and ASK is probably Adnan Khan. THP might be Tyree Phillips.
