[Ron Young]

...height?
u'll need sum 2-3mm spacers if so? as per a 5ive?

As in new servo too wide doesn't fit into slot old servo came out of.

Except the new servo case is just too wide for what I can only assume is the stock mount. Spacers aren't going to help that.

I was talking about height, but I was running a savox 0236 servo for steering in my dbxl. Never an issue with it. Break out the grinder, you should be able to make it fit mate.

Got it in no grinding.....took some doing wow.
Thanks for the help
Working out some fitment issues with this jetpro pipe and cage. Oh and painting the body while I wait for parts.

 

[Ron Young]

Still waiting on arms axle extenders all new cvd boots finishing up with the body panels just waiting on another sticker sheet before I put it all back together.

 

[Ron Young]

Couldn't wait I say it looks better than the boring stock graphics.

Update
killswitch is in still waiting on this tbone racing front bumper the axle extenders and servo spacer for hitec steer servo before I can run it. Realized I need a 3 channel radio for killswitch as well. I'll likely just pu a used spektrum tx locally I have a few 3 channel rx already.

 

[DougStar]

Getting a killswitch to work on spectrum raidos can be a challenge in my experience they just don't operate 100%

Thanks I am actually reconsidering was just watching a few vids of installs and one of them said the same thing.

 

[Seandonato73]

[DougStar]

Thanks appreciate that.
Got bigger fish to fry now lol. Looks like I'm replacing centre diff carrier and front centre cvd due to wear. Anyone with any experience with either the fid setup or gtb carrier mount and brake setup? Both run about the same coin.

 

[Seandonato73]

I liked the fid stuff when I had a dbxl.

Thanks I have their 2 speed but have yet to install and test
Fitment of this 2 speed is pretty good. Have to use washer spacers on back of clutchbell carrier to get mesh right.
Waiting on a pile of new parts over the next few weeks. Haven't recieved my tbone bumper yet ordered that back in march lol. With any luck I may get to run this again this year.
This clutchbell looks finished to me what do you guys think?

 

[Ron Young]

Ended up dremeling out slot for servo for a better fit

 

[Ron Young]

Tbone Racing bumper showed up finally...Wrong color lol. Ordered black could have lived with red and blue showed up. Scuffed it up and hit it with the krylon...not sure if it will hold up. It should be noted this bumper does not bolt up to cage will post pics of what I mean when it dries and I can install it.

 

[Ron Young]

Will be removing whats left of stock bumper.
That bumper looks alright....be better with some light pods though..
Picked up some red blingy turnbuckles and steering links waiting on my daves order now.

 

[Ron Young]

Picked these up used locally. They look pretty but are not going to last. Much smaller diameter rod ends than the irp links.
