Might as well just get a saga 39t to put on that motor as a starting point lol. Going to keep the body, chop it up, or replace it outright?

Stock body will be run until it is not possible. I have a CF body from @LibertyMKiii that may get used later. That story will write itself.


Ok first step...


Tear it all down

I knew u were wrenching on her!! Awesome!! If you want to get rid of that chasis I could probably put it to good use;-) LOL.
what plugs are you using w 8awg batt cable. I initially did the castle but switching to qs8.

 

[ABabyEater]

Might be worth considering independent leads for batteries if you are running 8ga. Able to plug batteries directly in series instead of through extra connectors.

For some reason I couldn't get rear cvd's to work on mine maybe you'll have better luck..!!
That build is going to be awesome
Good luck..

I'm probably going to sound like a crazy person , but I think my rear hub carriers are thicker where the axle goes through..!!
I've tried 6 different axle ends, and all of them when I put the hex hub on won't allow me to push the pin through, I can force the pin in but then I can't turn the axle it all just binds up

Rear hub carriers are out of stock over my way till May..!! so for now I gave up, it's dog bones for me

Mfm i don't think your van can take much more abuse,I seen it shaking when u had infraction sliding towards it...I seem to hit all my neighbors cars.im real good at running under cars bending towers up...also have gotten good a crawling under cars with the quikness..towards end of pack is usually when the stupidity starts kicking in.
jd I've been patently waiting for you to pop off with something crazy an badazz.i new it was coming.XLX2 is next on my list,can't wait to see where this build ends up....

 

[LibertyMKiii]

I am a little scared about the 1/5 GRP tires holding up, but I am tuned in to see how it goes!
Great build sheet so far and the long wheelbase will help with stability

Check your CVD pins. Mine popped out just enough to keep the axle from seating all the way into the big bearing. I had to pull the top link off again to reseat it.

I too have concerns but this is more an experiment than anything. I could easily swap to 1/8 GRP or foams in the end. That story will write itself later.

I also have a full set of Senton arms, bones, links, etc to elongate the wheelbase even more at a later date. We will see how this goes. I imagine the first major change will be the body. Still looking for options for the 420mm wheelbase.

I got the Vitavons Hubs (and diff balks.. and rims..), i has no issue at all.
I think the Vitavons Hubs even reduced the slop at the rear....
Pls post us an image so we can all see..
