Opinions needed..

Bromvw,

I was thinking about this and was doing some web searching and found this:

on Scale 4x4 http://www.scale4x4r...read.php?t=6565

He used TL-01 Suspension Arms (shorter) which give it more of a scaler look, which I kind of like.. Especially with using the Clod Body. brings the wheels in quite nicely

I have another couple ideas for Clod wheels I might try, but I am at the point I want to just build a WR-01 from parts but it will be 2wd and a 3rd WR-01 RC in the house

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!

Max,

Where did you get your carbon chassis plates?

Keep us posted on the reply

What mods are you thinking of?

I did it myself from a carbon 2mm plate and some machinery.

Not available on the market, sorry.

Thanks Max..Jeff, I plan on aluminum control arms, stronger axles, a carbon chassis, waterproof electronics, g made piggyback shocks, wheels/tires, and motors.

Any suggestions on motors? I know I need a zero position motor for the rear. I was planning on something with some pep, but still enough torque to get through mud and snow.

Thanks again fellas, you've all been a massive help!

i've found the rc4wd 35t motors to be a good compromise betwwen torque and speed . Fit bigger wheels and the speed is excellent .

The build is coming along nicely, thanks again guys! I went with a Traxxas waterproof esc and servo. All my control arms are in, waiting to be installed, body is painted, and chassis is built.

I'll be posting pics soon!

Ok..so maybe some of you can help with my teething problems..I'm using aluminum TL-01 hubs front and rear, with all the aluminum available for the dagger/detonator. My front axles are popping out, and I've bent one, so the car is down. Stock axles are 76.5mm. I'm assuming I need longer ones. Any ideas? I tried DT-01 axles with joints but they were still too short. Maybe another source other than Tamiya?? Thanks in advance.

You are probably going to need these...

I'll second that - i have those fitted on my 4x4x4 Blackfoot bodied Wild dagger with all the alloy upgrades and 100mm dampers . they work a treat .

Thanks guys...I saw those and wasn't sure. I ordered DF-03 swing axles, as well as the dagger swing axles. Hopefully one of the two will work!

Hi, I made the chassis by myself [...]

Your work is very impressive, Max.

Hats-off to your chassis, and specially that steering system!

[kontemax]

Thank you. The job is rough and not yet finished. I made more progress on it, installed carbon fiber front servo plate, servo and links and front body mounts.

Now need another carbon fiber sheet to make the rear servo plate.

Have now new pictures but I could do it if you all want to see the progress.

Yes please post some pictures if you can.. I would like to see your progress..

How difficult was it to make that aluminum frame you have?

[neverfollow]

Yes definitely! Pics, pics, and more pics!
