    Chubaka's Ford F450

    I learned this beast is best left unlocked. The spool doesn't like the jarring while being forced to spin for my pleasure. My drive yesterday it spun so I was rear right drive. It mysteriously fixed itself for some drifting and donuts in the leaves and dirt. Today it was great on wet concrete...

    Chubaka's Ford F450

    The drive shaft I bought is for the front to link the trannny to the pumpkin. I installed it, flipped the tranny gears for speed and went front wheel driving burning up the street. I also installed my front diff cover. The diff case and gears I have not added yet. Too lazy to yank the axles out.

    Between the locker, the castle motor, and doing donuts on damp and dry concrete in and out of the leaves and from grass to concrete I have found nuetral. Time to bring out the axial.

    The steel diff seems to be holding up. These big deep dishes will hold leaves and dirt like a semi will a water bottle! Thinking about getting these same wheels in aluminum for when it's on display. I am gonna get some more agreesive tires on 1.9 aluminum duallies. These are 2.6.

    Get the tires wet outside then full throttle inside. She goes where she wants.

    Got my rear diff locker on. The new steel spool seems to be working but I know it's gonna go at some point. Also added the copper head 10 in white so the black can go back in the 10.2. Lights are almost wired up and I plan to continue painting the new body.

    Factory diff still working. Got the other locker snd aluminum diff cups on the way. I was involved in a hit and run. I hit it and dipped. Caught traction drifting and hit the dumpster area door. 🤣

    Back together. Factory open diff, and my hitch installed. I gotta shave my scale hitch to fit this reciever.

    I'm already thinking of building a custom axial based dually and chilling on this one. I'm too familiar with the twisting until breakage. I might call glue some planetaries together like the traxxas 2wd. I might even try to ca glue this locker and axles after a good cleaning. 🤔 Regardless...

    Judging by the silver, I spun a new locker. I shoved it back in to try out and it was still in neutral. Cleaning up the locker for photos to send to cen. Not even an hour of runtime. The lightweight locker is what I have and is aluminum. The other says metal. I'm assuming steel...

    "Caused by the nut connecting the steering wheel to the drivers seat". 🤪😝

    Atleast they didn't slip out then get shoved into a solid object.🫠🤣 I might have stripped the screw in the plastic or I rounded the locker which is aluminum. The wheels turn a souther hair then stop as the drives after on the pinion spins. Tune in later to find out. 😁

    Chubaka's Ford F450

    Truck is being a pain in the rear end. Installed a locker and drive 15 minutes perfect. Up and down a steep incline pulling 30Ibs no problem. Did some passes on flat ground and some donuts without weight and still good. I get home and drive 2 minutes before it becomes right wheel drive. Drive...

    Chromed the side badges. Ordered a hitch today. 5th wheel mount next. Then the aluminum bits and rc4wd wheels and tires.

    Chubaka's Ford F450

    Restarted my pc and same thing. The truck runs and drives as it should. I left my other escs, so tonight I'll try those. Worse case scenario I'll keep a spare esc on long drives and drive it till it goes or hangs up. On this 2850kv, I forgot to plug the sensor wire in. Has a nice whine on low...

    The link lights up red when plugged in. The esc will light up red only if I plug it in the battery. I have a sidewinder, og mamba, and a brand new copperhead I will try Monday when I get my computer back. Thanks for your help.

    Chubaka's Ford F450

    I tried the software and it didn't work. Then the software on the pc had an update, so I updated it. A year ago I used it no problem. Today it didn't have the copperhead until after I updated it. I was gonna try to restart the computer......... but it's in my dad's truck. I won't see him until...

    @Greywolf74 or anyone familiar with castle link? I tried with and without the battery in the truck, both on and off. I tried all 3 usb ports, both cords I had and even updated it. I can't access anything as it's not picking it up. I unplugged everything from the esc, all fans, lights, even the...
