Scipunk 383 Posted January 13, 2019 So i got my rear shock locator and put in my shocks but couldn't figure out why the rear end had no real rebound and now i know, when i did the bearings i messed up on the little springs that hold tension on the front of the diff, one is bent all to heck and the other is under the axle not over...lol. So can i just replace these with the ampro mount or do i need to order a new set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is lexan and has a velcro strap that goes around the battery , it is a simple fit see if one of these will fit :- http://www.kamtec.co.uk/epages/BT4645.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=15224858&ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&SearchString=battery+tray 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be interested to see what you think of it . It is a very simple set up and easy to fit . I also bought a front suspension upper arm brace for the FX10 mod that I did and I was very pleased with the quality and very easy fit of the part . Shapeways is a very good company to deal with . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kev for the turnbuckles for the FX10 mod, how long does the threaded part need to be? I couldn't find any info. I will let yaa know about the brace, once i can actually drive this again...lol Oh do you have a link for the upper brace? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted January 14, 2019 The upper link rod on mine is approx 80mm centre to centre of the rod end holes , the threaded rod length will depend on the length of your rod ends . Here is a link to the bracket :- https://www.shapeways.com/product/3Y2HBRNPA/07001-s1-cw01-arm-center-support-for-zero-and-20mm?optionId=60279618 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emory70 153 Posted March 13, 2019 The Lunchbox is a perplexing truck. Almost useless stock for anything other than wheelies. Every issue it has can be addressed with time, money, and effort. And STILL it'll never be very capable. The problem is the more you do to it, the less it is a Lunchbox. I have one I started a decade ago. Just stopped. It was out of hand. My suggestion: build, drive, upgrade, repeat. The only mandatory items to me are oil shocks and bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
