New build coming up

[EddieB]

Got some pics with a "mockup punk dig", I'm looking for input on placement. I'm thinking chassis to protect it, but on the axle would be better for COG.....

front?

rear?

chassis?

 

[EddieB]

I'm hoping the parts will be in this week, they were "re-ordered" from a-main thursday evening, and punk seems to be catching up from what I've seen. Still not gonna hold my breath though...lol

 

[EddieB]

slow day in the crawler forum...lol

Is the punk dig really that big? Anyway I think they are pretty light and the chassis would be a better place for it IMO, but it's your rig and your call, I think once you have all of the actual parts it will be much easier to figure out placement for everything...

 

[EddieB]

i took the measurements from the website, made a cardboard mockup, Looks really big cause of the really small chassis. if i remember its 1.9L x 1w x .9 tall, i think, or maybe .9w and 1 tall

[Greyryder]

Did EddieB just explode? :gulp:

 

[abadk9420]

Sounds like he finally blew a fuse, LOL!!!

 

[EddieB]

implode, get it right...lol no dig, no nothin.... the guy that supposedly wants the tmaxx and all the other randomness is being elusive, flaky, and unresponsive.

 

[EddieB]

hmmmm......

 

[abadk9420]

hmmmm......

Are you teasing us Eddie? Or are you just about done with this build or maybe going a different route all together?:\ LOL!!!!

 

[EddieB]

this might be the day I have the money to finish it, probably not, flaky friends buying stuff...... hmmm.....

whats a good middle ground charger between the basic venom charger and the venom pro?

 

[slowngreen]

This one does 1-3s and up to 5A rate.

trying to cut the cost down as much as possible, thanks slow, looks like a more affordable option, still need the charger, aluminum servo arm, dig, bec and a body, if I can get the cost down enough I'm going to try to get diff wheels.

 

[slowngreen]

ck still has the digs.....If you want to go cheaper, Rc4wd's "rocker" dig is cheaper by alot. I've used it and seen it used alot and it works pretty good, just pretty cheap compared to the quality of a punk...

[EddieB]

not gonna skimp on the dig, used body if i can come across it, got any old scratched up bugs laying around slow? lol

 

[slowngreen]

Sorry man, I keep all the lids I paint and hang them on my wall after they've paid their dues. I'll look though but I doubt it.

 

[EddieB]

sounds cool, should post a pic

Good to her Eddie, Hope it works out so you can finally it off the work bench and onto the rocks where it belongs.
