Almost finished my new MT (minor build thread)

[roccos_van]

Got a V2 roller from Dave's and with some help from LSRC, Ramtech and Van hobbies she's looking good.


Fresh outta the box:








Some goodies for install:





The heart of the beast, a 30.5 modded and ported ESP motor with a lauterbacker 4 shoe clutch, if this dosn't turn those meats nothing will.

 

[roccos_van]

Some 95% finished pics, just need to adjust the linkage and install the steering servos (once they get here) Twin 5645's. then paint the body. Basic black.

why the crossover linkage?????

 

[kryptonite]

just one question
why the crossover linkage?????

i think with the hpi filter it rubs, but what servo's are you puting up front? looks awsome and cant wait to see it all painted up. also what bearings did you get? are those acers?

HPI fliter kit with redneck is way to large to go straight, the horn hits and could easily get hung up on it. Simple easy fix is to cross them over.

Servo's are the dual hitec's (5645 i think or 5745 i don't remember)


This is the bearing kit i got:

That to keep unwanted junk out


Looking really good, I like it

 

[Gosraider]

very nice editing, could you tell me it is the engine make and model, and possibly the website where you can buy. thank you

 

[Zapped]

Looking good. Where did you get the drive cup savers?

 

[Deluge]

I don't think they sell those anymore. You could get some steel tube, cut it into rings and press them onto the cups.

 

[Zapped]

Thanks Deluge,I will try that.
