    Rc # 3.5 bought (BFX Chassis)

    in General discussions

    Posted

    SO I got the Chassis.. Full Bearings and hex screws everywhere..

    What it needs:

    2 hex drives and Pins

    Motor and motor mounting screws

    ESC

    Steering Servo

    Radio gear

    Tires

    Body

    I have the 2 hex drives and I have 2 pins, although I am thinking one of my trucks might be missing a pin..

    With my narrow stance Clod body I might put 1.9s on it ( Wild Willy Wheels) then use the Black foot wheels on this chassis.

    I have a 20t pinion and a silver can that will work to power it

    Thinking about a body I might do the Jeep but have not given it much thought

    Updated Stance using TL01 parts:

    I am still waiting for the Steering Tie rods.. I ordered the wrong ones and need to order the correct ones. I did use the 12mm Hexs from 2 sets of TL01 Toe in kits to push the wheels out a bit and along with that used the longer wheel axles:

    Once I get the Steering worked I can determine body height and might have to trim the rear of the front wheel wells for clearance

    I am starting to think I need 1.9s on this with a smaller dia tire

    So I snagged another WR01 chassis from eBay.. needs electronics, wheels and a body.

    I would like a lexan body (wr01 specific would be nice) This one will stay 2wd for now, probably get a silver can with a 20t pinion.. I would like to find a decent body for it as it will probably be painted pink for my daughter..

    any ideas on a body for this rig?

    Now we are up to 4 RC cars in the house..

    You need to be careful of clearance on the steering arm - I had HPI wheels on a twin detonator and the tyre sidewall rubbed , before cornering or any other deflection of the sidewall. the HPI wheel offset was obviously different to Tamiyas original, i then swapped to a set of Thunder Tiger SSK wheels and they work well, athough i don't think they'd help you here.

    Yeah they are close.. I was thinking worst case there is another set of Steering Arms I found with an angle on the arm. When the shorter Arms are in place I will run the deeper 12mm hex drive which will give a touch more space int he area of concern. I just need to order the parts and start swapping to the narrower track.. then decide on wheels/ shocks

    What size are they?

    Also do both front and rear have hex? curious on the ones from the WR-02 chassis..

    Reason I ask is I saw this in the showroom:

    and I think the wheels fit it just right.. Now I know this is in a High lift Chassis which I would love to do, but I would really like to try the wheels on my Blackfoot chassis with the Clod body, although I think I will still need to bring the wheels in a bit to make it look a bit better then the current form

    So I have not done much to this truck lately. but keep thinking I need to change it a bit. I want to bring the wheels in closer to the body. so this brings the question, the WR01 chassis uses TL01B arms for suspension, how much shorter are the TL01 arms or the TL01LA Arms

    I am not sure I want to use the TL01 arms as it might bring the wheels in closer then I want.. so I am looking for Ideas to bring the wheels in about 1/2-3/4 inch

    Opinions needed..

    Excellent info guys! Thank you! I ordered a twin detonator this morning. This will be my winter project. It will definitely not stay stock for long. I did some research on google and found a user here that built one to my liking. User "backtomyroots" has built his exactly how I'd like mine. Even down to the tires and wheels.

    He mentioned a carbon chassis he obtained from Germany. I just sent an email to those guys using a translator, hope I get a reply, lol.

    Again, thanks for all the help guys, and I will post as many pics as possible during the build!

    Cheers! :)

    What mods are you thinking of?
