u refered to me as Jb weld? peepee!!! lol.

 

[flm_savage]

nice looking rig. Know where i can get a locked tranny?

have you gotten bent lower links yet?

 

[slowngreen]

yeah i have silver bent links. i thought about getting some of the new axial bent links but i think they alittle too ugly.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I don't like the way they look either. The regular bent links and a certain product that will soon be released are going to make for a really nice setup.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

What about the links that are bent in the middle? I just saw them for the first time.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Yeah, we carry them at EEM. I like the regular 30 degree bent links on my rigs, but it will depend on how your suspension is set up to determine where you need the bend. I foresee a lot of guys that don't need the ones that are bent in the middle, and it will make their rig look funny, but I'm kind of old school when it comes to stuff like that. If you're going to be buying links and competing, I seriously reccomend Delrin lower links because they perform so much better.

 

[slowngreen]

which ones are the delrins? the ones i have?

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Nope. The ones you have are the axial aluminum links, I think. I'm sure they're axial or STRC, which are Identical. Delrin is a space age material. It's like a plastic, but it's super strong and super durable, but it's really really really slippery, think of something like teflon that feels more like a bar of soap when you touch it, only it's REALLY strong and durable. Think of a self lubricating bushing, it's a similar material. It's what my GC2 chassis in the comp build is made out of. So where aluminum causes friction on the rocks, delrin glides over it likes its coated in lubricant, but it's always dry, kinda like magic.

 

[slowngreen]

do u guys sell them over at eem?

 

[CharliesTheMan]

not yet

 

[flm_savage]

delrin certainly rocks. I ran a rage cage for my savage about 3 years ago. That thing was ROCK solid. I tore up an rc solutions cage in 10 minutes. It is indeed self-lubricating and very cool.

 

[slowngreen]

small update, i am now using a Holmes Hobby houndwound 540 motor, 35t. works great and has great torque and speed. I'm running it with my sidewinder and a cc bec. first comp is on saterday so hopefully it will come in handy.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Best of luck at the competition on Saturday! You forgot to mention her brand new shoes!

 

[slowngreen]

oh yeah i keep forgeting about those, i have some new losi claws on her now!!! I'm gonna mount my hammers onto my axial rims/locks just incase they are needed for a certain terrain difference or something but I'm doubting it.'
oh and i have new red aluminum knuckles also. and a brand new towerpro mg995 servo cuz my old one took a dump....thanks charlie.
