V3 raminator (blue waffle) build

[John Parks]

Got it today! I do say it seems better built with the small but necessary upgrades. Installed the 2" wheelbase extwnsion kit, and also 1" axle extenders.
Shock shafts are much larger, and they also upgraded the bottom spring perch to alloy as the plastic ones were junk. I popped open the axles and installed the brass bushings between the pinion bearings, also checked diffs and all were good with fluid and loctite on the screws. So far pretty impressed.

Truck looks great! With the wheel base extension is it necessary to extend the driveshaft if so where do you buy them? Also the brass bushings. Can’t seem to see it on there site.

Do the wheels look a bit small in person or am I the only one that thinks that?

Nope, driveshafts are fine. No need to replace them. The brass bushing I ordered off Amazon, they help support the pinion bearings and so far have made a big difference in longevity and strength

Added a fullforce tank fitting, ddm gas cap obviously, ans somehow the wiring fried again . Already talked to Dan and he is sending me another one. Literally charge battery and plugged it in and it immediately fired, pretty sure it had a short somewhere

Dang it. Now I have to get one. Thing is dope! Super crappy about the wiring for sure. Glad Dan took care of ya!
Are the shocks the same as the Raminator V2 just with different inerts for the bigger 10mm shaft or whole new shock?

Actually a while new shock, shock bodies are 5mm bigger, and the shafts are 10mm

Thanks John. That sucks but good to hear.

You don’t seem to have much luck with wiring/fires on these things!
Truck looks real good though
Tires do seem like they are quite a bit smaller then the raminator ones so should perform better with the stock engine

No for sure I have terrible luck with it. Tires definitely shave some weight off, but the original engine is still pathetic.

Added a fullforce fitting, and spaced the tank up for what's coming.

Spacing the tank up eh, I’m thinking a nice shiny new Tayler engine is getting put in there

The 80???

 

[John Parks]

The 80???

No, it hasn't been produced yet. I'll have the first, should have in less than a month with a new version of something else lol.

I took the brake servo out and swapped it with a spare hitec d845wp, and took the steering servos out to put in dual agfrc 78kg servos. I'm done with primal electrical poop. Also added shock limiting straps.
