My Rampage XB project

Yes, the copper colored are the new process for hardening.

gool, will these new style cups fit the MT V3?

 

[RampageHopUps]

Yes, same thing.

3k in front, 4k in rear.

Does the entire diff assembly come of the car in order to change the oil inside?

After 2 days delay with the post office, I finally received my order from DDM. The funny part is that I received 3 aluminum servo horns??? I know the 5765 comes with a free DDM one. But it also came with the optional double sided one. On top of that the 5645 also came with a single arm aluminum one. Is that common or was that a mistake?

Also ordered an exhaust tube.

yes , diff box off unit, open box, and then open planetary case

only thing better than a package is packages AND boxes!

LOL!

Now I need to figure out what I'm doing for roll cage and bumper. A redcat aluminum roll cage would be the shorter way but it no longer fit. I already have 10mm full aluminum tube and 0.25" ABS plastic sheet. Oh well, we'll see!

Has anyone dealt with ABS with bending it?

 

[designed2survive]

Is there anything more to it than just heat with torch and bend?

Just remembered that the hitec steering servo is shorter than the regular 5b servo. Need to add making a new servo to the list and then hopefully I'll be able to really give the car a try.

You can always weld using metal tubes, it will give you more of an agressive look than bending

It would be cool but unfortunately I don't have a welder . I was referring to the ABS plastic as I have never dealt with one. I was thinking cut, heat it up and bend it to shape.

ABS plastic , can be heated with heat gun and shaped. EASY with the heat it will blister on surface as it approaches plastic stage . slow and even . a holding jig or form makes it easier.

Cool! Will try that! Thanks!

I was just thinking. Since you have a CNC machine, it would be awesome if you can start a project based on a GP460 engine.

I actually don't have a CNC machine. I wish! A GP460 project would be cool!

Here is a thread where someone started a project like that.
