Slash Project: Pro-Line '67 Drag Mustang

[Greywolf74]

Bro, I want that body! That thing is slick like coco butter!

Hope to get it finished today. Going to go tear it all down one final time and put it back together with all the proper setup and screws. Right now it's just holding together with a few screws.

Still have to setup the front suspension, toe, camber, etc, and I need to order some new rear shocks for it. The current ones are not gonna cut it. But the front suspension is smooth as silk, with no noticeable bump steer. So that's at least a good sign all the mods to the front end worked.

Got some stuff in to finish this build, thanks to my brotha from anotha motha - Greywolf. He had a Tekin Eliminator 4.5T motor and an RX8 lying around, so I got those off him to try out in this.

I also got a Hot Racing aluminum gearbox. We're upgrading it before we even drive it

Also ordered a 12t-17t pinion set off Amazon. Gonna start with a 12t pinion.

Oh, and a Kimbrough servo saver.

Got the Hot Racing gearbox installed and installed some different rear shocks with a shortened length and stroke by way of 3d printed spacers inside and out.

If using the Hot Racing metal transmission case with the RPM wheelie bar/bumper mount, the short 3mm spacer goes here...

And I would also source some 3mm x 27mm long threaded standoffs. The trans case from Hot Racing comes with two, and the wheelie bar mount is pretty rigid, but adding one more spacer in the middle hole would make it even better.

EDIT: The 3mm spacer shown above doesn't work. It tweaks the wheelie bar mount when things are tightened up. You need a 1mm spacer, which Hot Racing sells in their spacer kits.

@WickedFog You might want to look into some new tires, those are bald.

ROFLMFAO! You kill me man

This would be done by now if I just had a receiver that would work

Got the motor mounted with a 12t pinion. Also finished chroming the wheels today and got the wheelie bar mounted.

Working on soldering today. All I have left to do is solder on the EC5. The cable management straps I printed are doing a good job.

I used one of those HR gearboxes on my 100+ MPH Rustler. I really love it!

 

[WickedFog]

Wiring done. Tires glued. Just gotta setup the ESC and send her down the parking lot.

 

[Doom!]

Can't wait to see her rip!

Looking good bud.

I feel a YT video coming with some running footage!

Cmonnn take her out!

Planning to. Just got the battery in a few weeks ago. But we don't have a very good surface here to run it on. Don't have a gps rhough yet.
