    Another joy to behold! The build talk through was like sitting in on a free college course. Ok, so you like the sides, here is an idea that I think would work for this. The guy lost his original sides to put in the cage, and then just cut flat sheet metal panels to make rear wheel wells and sides. You know, for dirt/rocks kicking up off the tires. Just raw metal, maybe with some rust streaks. Like the kid just got out of high school, has no money and only a learners permit. So he takes his unregistered or inspected truck for rides up and down the power lines. LOL, I had two beers!

    • @VermontScaleCustoms
      @VermontScaleCustoms  3 місяці тому

      Thank you! I thought long and hard about doing that to my LGRP Comp24. It actually has screw holes all the way around for it. I was, and still am, thinking of doing a tutorial on that. As for this, the thought of making a flatbed with wheel wells is swimming around in my head. I think I can come up with some fender designs that will work. One of the big standouts for me is how the frame lines matched the rear wheel well lines as they come down. That's something i kind of want to capitalize on with a bed/well thing. I'm with ya on the idea, it's just going to take come thinking about how to bend it as one piece per side and still be able to get it in there.

    These mostly parts box builds are a lot of fun, this one turned out great!
    Those tires, i hear that they are best with the front tires in a reversed direction.
    I usually like going with what seems to be the proper direction, but have the latest build (same tires) with front tires reversed.
    Guess I'll try out both.

    • @VermontScaleCustoms
      @VermontScaleCustoms  3 місяці тому +1

      I had all four of them mounted in reverse in this video -- ua-cam.com/video/86snP-O-zU0/v-deo.html -- and I took them off ten minutes after I was done filming the video.
      I thought they sucked.
      They've sat on the shelf since that video.
      I added not only a wrap of lead but covered it all with copper foil tape.
      It added about 9-10 grams per wheel.
      Plus, I vented all four tires and it seems to have really helped a lot.
      Now they can actually grapple instead of skipping over. That tread pattern isn't like th 1:1 real thing. Injora got it wrong by adding raised pieces and the real ones are all consistent height. It works against the tire because only half of the f'n thing can make contact with the surface it's on. So no matter which way they face, they seem to be limited. That said, with all four facing forward, I was not unimpressed this time around. This is also a much lighter rig than the comp24.
      I literally just had this on eht indoor course 10 minutes ago and walked away with a huge smile on my face. It's a performer and I couldn't be happier about it. It actually f'n worked!

    • @MrsRabbit8
      @MrsRabbit8 3 місяці тому +1

      @@VermontScaleCustoms okay, so the take away is that you were more impressed with these tires with more weight in the wheels, and with them facing forward?
      I had heard that those tires seem to grab better with rear facing tread pattern up front, and foreward facing in rear, causing the "rear to not grab as well" which is generally accepted to allow better climbing.
      My rig is around 400g without wheel weights. So, not light, but definitely lighter than many.
      I was thinking about putting the brass wheel rings in the front, and plastic rings in the rear. It has Slymeballz on all four. I always vent tires.
      These tires have been shown to do very well on the specific course it will be competing on.
      My questions are...
      1. Brass rings all around?
      2. Do you think there is a benefit to brass rings up front with plastic rings in rear?
      3. Did you try rear facing tread up front?
      4. What do you think about adjusting the forward/rear weight bias with wheels OFF to 60/40, and then considering the wheel weight ratio separately?
      Thank you for your input.
      I appreciate your info, you got a lot of credit from me when you had mentioned springs affecting tire grip.
      So many people use NO springs, which i think is a mistake. You had mentioned using cut springs, which is something that i do to positive effect.
      Eg. I have rear shocks with rubber bands set to engage at ride-height, and also an extra narrow spring around the shock shaft which also engages at ride-height.
      The effect is that the shock "travel range" is kept at a specific range, but allows movement outside that range when extra weight is applied during articulation. Pretty cool.
      These are Nexx oil shocks. I like them, very smoothe, and adjustable. Not perfect, but no shocks are perfect.

    • @VermontScaleCustoms
      @VermontScaleCustoms  3 місяці тому +1

      More weight and the big factor was venting them and direction notwithstanding. I haven't put enough time on them facing one way or another to be able to say with any kind of confidence. My course could be more dusty one day than the next, I might be a little heavy on the throttle one day than the other, so it's all a little less finite than what I can tell you.
      1. Yes, all around.
      2. I've tried running the Dementor V2 with brass up front and aluminum rears. The back dances around too much. Needs to be planted.
      3. No.
      4. I think 60/40 bias a good thing to try and accomplish.
      * I always just try and find the natural center and ensure that I can tilt forward when picked up with a screwdriver. That's my fancy 4 corner scale. For the record, I do not own a digital 4 corner scale andI never will unless someone sends me one for free to review.
      * If you notice, I'm not running coils on this rig. It didn't want them. I tried and didn't like how it rode. But that was also with portals and the softest black factory coils for double barrel shocks. I have not tried running any shorter coils nor any other shocks. If I do any on this one it might just be factry SCX24 springs for bump coils but it will still run pretty flat on the shock towers.
      * I don't know if it's actually what it's called but I refer to is as "bedding" piston in the shock coils. The piston rides in between two different coil sets, above and below the piston, either inside or outside of the shock body. A lot of coilovers for 1:1 are designed this way.
      * It's something I did for my GMade R1 and it works amazingly well if you have the right spring rates.
      * one weird hack I tried with Injora double barrels was to use the small springs from RC4WD 1" shocks and put those inside of the small barrel so it had internal rebound as well as an external coil to help with down travel. Kind of like what you're doing but with one spring inside and one outside, working in opposite directions to support the truck.

      @@VermontScaleCustoms nice! Thank you!
      So I'm going to put the brass rings in all four, and I'll test out tire direction.
      I assume balance 60/40 with the wheels on, was just curious what you thought about balancing it with wheels off first, and then throwing the wheels on which are all equal weight, or front wheels heavier. .
      You can get the same weight ratio numbers with one scale as you can with 4 scales, you just have to put something under each wheel that's not on the scale and do the math.
      I just made my limiting straps. Working great!
      This build will be going on 24yep YT channel for a Grudge Match! Should be fun! All in good spirit.
      I'll tell you when so you can see my rig in action.
      Still have to send it in.
      Just finishing it, everything was mocked-up, now I'm taking it all apart to locktite all screws-into-metal.
      Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate it.

      See, now you've got me all nervous about sending people out into the wild with my shadetree knowledge. This is what sort of puts me in an awkward position with the channel. I'm not a pro, I don't compete, and I've been proven to be wrong time and again. Never take stock in anything I say. My experience is only mine and that, alone. I don't make product recommendations and I don't do reviews for this very reason. I try to avoid giving recommendations due to these very reasons. For whatever problems that may occur, it puts me more in line with being targeted for why it didn't work. I wish you luck with your challenge but I seriously wish I had known this was what I was being grilled for.
