So the story goes like this ;D
FS Racing 1/4th scale chassis
NO ENGINE
NO REAR DOGBONES AND HUBS/BEARINGS
NO 1/4TH SCALE SHOCKS
NO FRONT HUBS/BEARINGS
NO THROTTLE SERVO
We know from past experience that redcat rampage rear dogbones fit the FS, but the pins in the redcats dogbones are KRAP so those need to be drilled and tapered a set screw placed to keep the pin in. But the biggest issue was the the shocks, we cannot get the 1/4th shocks anymore and wont buy them from chinaman engage so we opted to use Nutech shocks as we are also selling there products in the Netherlands.
Lots of thinking outside the box and we came up with this :
We used the Nutech rear upper a arm in the front and the nutech shocks. The one eyelit shock mount is actually better than the fork setup as the load is better spread and less prone to flex etc,
The shocks are just as huge as the fs 1/4th scale ones.
That mock up took us a days work as we tried many options but that worked the best and thats all we settle for
Need to order some smaller parts and get the odd nut and bolt but we have done the hard part which was the shocks so the rest should be smooth sailing.
More to come soon!
