Fantastic.! Love the all black... Looks rock solid...

Is that the new steering linkage?

 

[John Blaze]

I'm pretty sure thats the same steering setup that he's had out for a while but with the spring sleeved I need one of those for mine

That's what I said...'Linkage' between servo and 'steering rack'....I hadn't heard that he sleeved it...

Waiting for a new trans/receiver but this is what it looks like so far.

Ol' Fart,

With all that power, you may want to try some Hostile Slicks...I've used those HPI Tarmacs on my XBe and they just don't give the traction that BEAUTIFUL power-house will need..Hostiles are softer and will bite the street much better from what I understand..just my .02 tyring to help.

What's to the right of the ESC in the second pic?

That's a BEC pro, You can't see it but under it is a CAP. This is the best setup for the 2028 motor running on 8c

I am using those tires only to test the car. No dirt around me and it keeps the car clean too.

I understand, but on the street those Tarmacs give you NO real traction with 8s powererd 2028...The Hostile slicks Soft will allow you to better see what it can do on pavement...you will be dissapointed with the Tarmacs spinning the wheels everywhere...(sell them new, before you use em).

We are working on a new ball joint to remove the last of the slop in the steering assembly. We are just buying the ball joint and pressing it in ourselves, much better fit.

The sleeve is still being tested but so far it's looking good. For those that already have the steering set up I will be selling the sleeve at cost, $3.00

Ball Joint Project

What's the status on the new ball joint project?

 

[Ol' fart]

It's just sitting. We got on some other stuff. The ball we buy is nice and tight so I'm sure it will be good when it's done but I can't say when.

 

[Wayne]

Thanks for the quick response. I would definitely be intrested when they become available.
