1st baja

What make the holes bigger??? Then the bolt won't line up with the steering bellcrank braces

I'm sry I forgot to add I used the fullforce servo clamps to space the 845 out a bit.

I've got plastic spacers on backside of servo ears just to get enough clearance on the backside of servo. It hits radio tray and when you tighten it down it pulls the servo out of alignment.

Currently I have it in the 2nd hole of ddm servo arm i see no clearance issues yet but I haven't powered it up for testing just done some dry sweeps.

Had to build it then attach it to chassis
Why I didn't think of that 1st is beyond me today lol.

Well was able to get a tank of fuel through this Rovan powered Baja. All in all I'm pretty happy so far. Have a few kinks to iron out. Melting wing and cage from this ddm dom pipe. The cage I had already dremelled to fit over pipe. Anybody else have this issue? Any ideas or suggestions are always appreciated. Should have a video this weekend at some point.
Have the IRC rear shocks, the Taylor RC tower and uprights on order hopefully be here next week. Do these clutches need a break in period? At 1st it was real stiff and almost over revving to engage. Seems to have calmed down over the course of the tank I ran and is much better now.

Get some cage risers.

wouldn’t some exhaust heat wrap tape help too? …in addition to cage raisers

Yes it would.

Didn't even know such a product existed. That will work perfectly thanks.

Parts drop more to come I'm rebuilding the entire rear end including transmission.

 

[Ron Young]

Not sure why but RPM doesn't include this piece in their rear arm sets. Looking for suggestions as an upgrade for this part. Thanks for your help.

Bit of wrenching in tonight. This rear end is almost complete...That Taylor RC tranny case is a beautifull piece. Fitment is perfect and with new bearings she is smooth as butter. Can't wait to run this thing now.

 

[DougStar]

Taylor parts are awsome looking good Ron

 

[John Parks]

Definitely looks good. Keep it up

Dryfit mockup. Starting to come together nicely. Still gotta grind down the shock mount barrels to fit the tower and fit the rpm arms and locktite it all

Slowly putting this rig together. Stock rear swaybay clamps don't work with Taylor RC rear bulkead. There is one threaded hole to mount a swaybay clamp. Anybody else come across this issue? How'd you solve it? I could just use 1 screw but that ain't gonna stand up to my driving.

That sux
