[CraigRobbo]

Hope you like, i know the front fixing isnt the safest lol its just a tempory messure while i was getting estimate sizes for the custom shock tower i was having made up.

here we go.

Nice work bench, you obviously don't have children, if you do they are probaly grown up. If I did that in our home 2 things would happen, 1 wife would kill me 2 my little buggers would have everything lost.

Nice looking shock setup.

 

[CraigRobbo]

Thanks for the completment on shocks, no i have no kids (thank god) and the misus lets me work there (if not she gets nothing at the night )

I've always liked the beefiness of those. Looks good.:cool2:

 

[Prehn]

it look great

why do you call it b4?

 

[MONAROMAN]

b4 = before, just like L8 = late... and so on

 

[CraigRobbo]

He must be gettin old

 

[Prehn]

hehe - no i was thinking you stole the name from HPI b5/5b

and i was a kind of a joke

 

[MONAROMAN]

yep I thought that may be the case, FG Baja 4B - maybe for a 4WD one or a 1/4 scale one

Nice fitting job, I had a set of the integy LST piggybacks, they leaked big time from every orifice (integy crap strikes again) I'd sell em on ebay and get the threaded all aluminum (including caps) losi LST ones and some hot racing gun metal 8lb springs (they're really stiff and will take the weight of an FG) you'll be alot happier...if it's destined to be no more than an "oh look at me aren't I nice and shiny" shelf queen then it doesn't matter.

 

[CraigRobbo]

1st of all i don't do shelf queens lol

i have 15lb springs on the at the moment there just right for me, i spoke to whizzy before i got these hes been running them for a long time wiht no trouble iv been running them a few weeks too with no trouble, maby you got an unluky batch?

 

[CraigRobbo]

a few more for you

 

[Fabe]

That is a super sweet ride and build! Where did you procure the springs from?

 

[CraigRobbo]

RCraven the springs are from. alot of time and effort (lets not even look at the wallet)

Yeah I must of, I'm gonna put the Losi one's on the rear of my baja when it arrives...just sold all my nitro stuff and ordered an HT one from hobbythek. I've got a race prepped 28.5 oneill to chuck in it and a two speed...what pipe you using jetpro or DDM?
I'm gonna also try and stuff kamitiro belt drive in it (with chain conversion) and keep the 2 speed, I'll need another 2speed set, a longer kami layshaft and some fine tuning of shifters but I reckon I'll make it work..gimme a few weeks to acquire the parts and fit it and I'll post some picks.

 

[sickboy]

:2guns: thats kik ass man lets see some vid s
and where did you get the shocks from not up to date with those
:cool2:

 

[CraigRobbo]

Im using Dominator

don't try the 2x2speed with the kamitiro, the kam kits are brill but because of tourqe exchange from front to rear you will never get the gears to change at identical times meaning the front or back will be spining faster than the other this will stres the clutch and you will stress all the other drivetrain parts.

its just not going to work, my mate tryed this and failed miserably

 

[rc_mad]

woah thats a mental build well done on that sexy build :cool2:

 

[CraigRobbo]

Cheers pal. =]
