ok thx. i got a kit off of ebay 2 make yur own carbon fiber driveshafts. i put one in my hummer and it had some binding problems so i took it out. ill try and make a new one 4 this chassis, ive got one more bar yet. im having some problems with the pinion, i posted in the help section.

I used this: http://xmodworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=16644

And put small washers between wheels and knuckles, and hardly no wobble at all.

And, alloy diffs, CF driveshafts - I wouldn't spend your money on that. If you want something useful, get alloy dogbones. :)

this truck doesnt seem 2 hav much wobble. i dunno y, all my other ones r way worse. wat about the alloy diffs. and other drivetrain pieces? thatd cost a small fortune to replace them.

sry 2 resurect this bullitin. but i got my first hitec 55 servo 2day, i was wondering how much metal bearings accually do. i dont hav them and i think ill b fine without them. just curious.

well with my el camino i drilled holes in the bed and mounted a pic of a tackle box to the inside. the chevelle i drilled a hole in the trunk and did the same thing. yur bodies look lik they were made 2 fit. do they take some abuse or break real easy?

still looks nice, i dont think hes gonna give up the secrets of the mounting. no one does. thats where all my problems lie.

Looks good. Can you please so me a picture of how you mounted the body in the rear. I bought a 4 runner and painted it red then I came on and remembered you already did one and painted it red. I wish I didn't buy a model someone already did but I can't return it lol.

wow, good job. i would hav gotten fustraited and thrown everything across the room, or smashed it with me mallet. WHAP!

One strip of aluminum, drilled holes in it, JB Welded another cutout for the part that you put under your truck, and JB Welded the handle which was part of a coat hanger.

Then painted.

How did u make that jack?

how do u put the model body on the xmods

damn i need someone like u to make me an xmod lol

Nice pics truck looks good did you drive into the pics tis tie or what?

First pic is amazing! I can't wait to start my project.

yay, uve got a jack on the roof! did i give u the idea or did u already hav one 2 use?

Pretty much done, except for a few details.

Long story...

The guy that I bought the Subaru from had some washers between the wheels and knuckles...

So, I tried in on the crawler.

And it worked!

Well, I guess it wasn't that long of a story. :lol:

Today I fabbed up a Hi-Lift jack. Turned out well. Pics soon!

Hey! Did You use my tut or did you figure it out yourself?

No suspension rubbing. I have little washers to push the wheels ou a little and reduce the slop.

yur doin good with these progects. u should c how many it would take 2 pull something. lik a car. or a rolly chair with u in it. that would b sweet.

it doesn't rub on the suspension :? Or does it?

how do u fit the wheels to where they dont rub on the suspension

What about just no ladder? I'll try it.

Thank you for the kind words. :)

the truck looks great

i also agree with it strapped to the roof rack but with some small scale bungee cords :D

I agree. your spare should be the same as the tires you are using. if it dont match it looks screwy

That's the stuff man, I like it. ;)

Although it does look too big for the shell, it IS a crawler after all and the spare tire needs to be a proper spare. So I say leave it be. :)

Hey Lancer Man, very nice looking truck. I think the regular off road tire looks better, with the super swamper on the back it just looks crowded. What if you painted the off road rim black instead of the chrome so that the difference in rims wouldn't be do noticeable. Just a suggestion.

It is mounted in the same hole that the stock "skid plate" screws into.

This:

Or this?

And, gotta share this one!

i figured that much out 4 myself. could i c how u screw it in? thats wat i couldnt find, a place 2 mount it. and i lik the gas can. i think u should put one of those huge jacks on there somewhere. mayb a shovel 2.

Just one piece of sheet aluminum bent, and then mounted by screwing it in.

So... how you make your skid plates?

The tire is too big for the roof rack. :lol:

Here are some more pictures:

the big rim in the back is kinda ugly for the bak..

I think you should strap the spare tire to the roof rack on top, and put the ladder on the back.

I have a roof rack and a ladder that goes up the the roof rack...

It looks super crowded on the back with the ladder, though. I am not sure if I will use it.

both of those look sweet. i was also curious about the skid plates. wat type of metals are u using? my sheet aluminum wont hold solder.

How you make your skid plates? Check out mines :D

Have you checked out my new wobbly wheel removal tut yet? It helps wwhen crawling :wink:

Brushbar:

Please excuse the bad pic. More accesories in the making...

Stay tuned! :P

get you own thread this has nothing to do with what ppl are talkin bout here

Thats sharp, I like it :P

anyone got myspace? im part of an xmods group, its pretty kool there. if yur interested group search RC Xmods (Radio Shack) Exclusives. there should b an old picture of my hummer as the defualt pic.

I didn't sell anything on EBay. :wink:

But, thank you for the kind words. :)

those are some sweet rigs. what all do u hav left lancerman? i noticed seeing alot of it on ebay goin at real big prices. u guys r thinking going up rocks with yur truck, im working on going over rocks really fast with my trucks. ive just got lipos right now and a stage 2, 4wd, and the lift kit tires on my stock ride height hummer. im working on gettin a new motor 4 it. I think ill make my other truck a crawler, i lik the way yurs r turning out.

Man, makes me wanna go and buy another x-truck to start a project! I don;t have the money though. Good job though.

It is Tamiya British Green.

I will have more pictures after I finish some accesories.

Yea its the same, except that hunter green looks very slightly lighter.

Oh yeah sorry. Pretty sure that is a hunter green.
