PostSubject: My LCC diary. Chapter 01: almost done   Wed Oct 20, 2010 11:48 pm

Finally, a month after i was able to get a good deal at rccrawler.com . . . . my rig. . . is almost done. .very happy
Had to rebuild the tranny, went for non-slipper gear and all the other tranny upgrades, opened the axles & checked the worms. . . then filled it up with Moly-Grease. .
Planned where to place electronics and the batts. . . finally it's 90% done . . . .

The wiring
(this is the best i could do) thank god for cable ties! very happy



The Minor tweaks & upgrades
Rc Bros OTA steering

Rc Bros Low COG dig mount

Rocksmith Eng. Shock outboard kit

Plastic M3 Spacers (so lower links won't pop off)

Lexan strip for ESC(rear) and Lipos(front)

Siped Leopards


Haven't had the chance to test the rig fully though, as i don't have my backyard course anymore sad
Still planning to do a few more tweaks like shock & shock arm position, upperlink position, flipping the shocks,. . .
and outboarding the front shocks. . . . but i need to do some testing first to have my benchmark. . . thumbs_up

Now i need to get a good deal on a dx3r very happy

to be continued. . . . .

thanks paul, very happy

yup, i'm in the process of selling my LNC, and honestly, that's why i'm getting your gatecrasher coz i don't have the stock body for the LNC anymore. I didn't wanna let go of the ALT very happy but not to worry, your gatecrasher and my LNC will be in very good hands with one of the guys here i converted very happy

for this one i'm going to keep the grappler body but super-trimmed. . . 2thumbsup

btw, bong came in late yesterday that's why he wasnt able to message you. . . if you can bring it today, i can meet you after i get off the office at 6 or 7, if you're still there. . .

please pm me your mobile. . . . . thanks again

hi chard ..... saw this in RCC ..... someone has a customized delrin chassis for the LCC ...

just thought that it looked real cool and you might be interested in converting bodiless ....

Ripper7Racing's Eclipse




with body panels






he hasnt released it yet but this looks like a very capable mod in terms of shock and link placements ...

thumbs_up

yup saw that. . . people are now trying to experiment on the LCC now that the 21gears (Losi HD worms and spool) have come out. . . .

i'm also eyeing on Chud's project : the Fastback LCC



or Rob b of CDW's projects: (this one i'm kinda into. . . thumbs_up )





I remember ripper777 making a bodiless chassis for the LCC before, he called it "Gremlin"
looks kinda similar to the eclipse one now . . .

honestly. . . . i don't really know where to go now, don't want to spend so much and end up buying something else. . . .

i think i just need to play more. . . . for now. . . . very happy

the LCC fastback is the same as the one ginnakle is running in his RS-10 ...... we all now that chassis works wonders cool

Rob B cut his stock chassis and extended the shock mounts i believe? ....

anyways ..... hitting the rocks with a big smile on your face is what matters .... 2thumbsup
