Yes, it was a good deal for the price, some things I like, some things I prefer the Injora chassis, But Ive had the Injora chassis a while and have worked out a lot of its issues. This one will be the same, just time and testing.
I just assembled the same kit. There was a lot of slop at the link mounts on mine as well. I bought a cheap bag of silicone "O" rings to put between the link balls and mount points on the axles as well as frame mounts locations. Snugged them right up without restricting movement. Only on one side of each ball link though. Works great. Love all your builds and videos 👍 Keep up the great work!
all your parts are great only difference from my build is the motor I went 1800 and that was because I was told the 1200kv motor was better on a straight axle and the 1800 worked better on portals time will tell I have both could be bs.but old mate has steered me straight so far has to do with torque curve from motors and gear ratios in diff and portals
I'd be curious if it would be worth adding a carrier bearing in the back there and bending the links up more for clearance. Looks like you could gain almost an inch or so more clearance
@@leesrcs Yea it doesn't need it, these seem to perform well. I should have said breakover not clearance. Might be able to get over sharper points with a carrier bearing setup but it would also add a bit of weight up higher.
@@leesrcs thank you I am wanting to build my first rig an I am just wanting to build something that climbs like a spider I am thinking about a pork belly 12 degrees chassis have you seen the chassis I am talking about thank you I am in this nursing home I got hurt about 4 years ago and I am in a wheelchair now an I have been saving up parts to build me a rig an I have everything but a chassis an links it's been 2 years getting what stuff I have got because I am not able to work anymore so thank you again
the shorter they are the better it will climb vertically but sometimes you have to be able to clear driveshafts or servos, I don't think 10 mil difference is gonna hurt it much.
Thanks so much for subscribing, it means a lot ! Im just using the short aluminum side plates that came with the kit, not really sliders, you can see what comes in the kit in this video when I introduced the build. But I may be changing out to a delrin skid and sliders soon. ua-cam.com/video/qKWwc1BiQTs/v-deo.htmlsi=chzm1jY_gBmG01ri
I agree about the portals , some of the big pumpkins make the portals useless , nice build , your finished one looking good too 😊
I built the same chassis last year, came out pretty good!

Awesome brother looking good can’t wait to test both of are builds out
yep, follow the leader on lines
Looking like a sweet build. Can't wait for part 2!
thanks so much, still making a lot of set up changes to find the right combo but its getting there.

Cool idea, I will have to give that a try. 👍🏻
Following. Nice video and I am planning a similar build. I would love to see more of your build as it progresses!
thanks for following along

yes we will see, I can always throw the 1200 in the injora crawler and order an 1800 if I need to
perfect job mate...keep going🤩
Thank you so much 😀

I haven't had any issues since I have clearance with the portals
@@leesrcs Yea it doesn't need it, these seem to perform well. I should have said breakover not clearance. Might be able to get over sharper points with a carrier bearing setup but it would also add a bit of weight up higher.
Hey can you flip the trans around were the motor would be in the forward facing way
yes, you can run it either way you want.

Awesome build! Do you remember what link kit you used? Scx10iii?
Never mind I found your link for the parts. I’m thinking of stretching the front links to 80&85, or maybe 90&95 what are your thoughts
the shorter they are the better it will climb vertically but sometimes you have to be able to clear driveshafts or servos, I don't think 10 mil difference is gonna hurt it much.
Can you turn the motor and transmission the other way? Be better for weight distribution
yes, you can run it either way, just depends on the length of your motor and if it clears your front links.
Nice man. You just got a sub
thanks my friend !
What are the links from?
just a set of LCG links from amazon, the link to them should be in the description of one of the videos
Sorry if it was said in the video what sliders are you using in this build? Thanks in advanced I subscribed!

@@leesrcs Thanks so much!!!
Nice build can you tell if the links 324 or 313 work?or doxwe need smaller
LCG's work better with the short front and longer rear links. But yes you can use stock links, it will just change your balance.
@@leesrcs so many tks i have a carbon chassis 10.2 thinking in migration
The front links are to short the axle should be more forward
thats how I wanted it to be.
