JRX2 5-link racer build
Posted: Thu Dec 23, 2010 12:06 pm
Just documenting my 5 link runner which will be raced.
I am using a JRX Pro chassis. So far, it has the RPM front swept arms, carriers and steering arms and a Pro Se shock tower. I drilled through the bulkhead like the LXT set up so I could more securely anchor the shock tower with longer bolts and nuts, I have had these loosen on me in the past. It will have full ball bearing steering, which I recently sourced.
For the record, the ball ends are associated #6277 and #6276 (gasp, but I have lots of them) and the steering and camber turnbuckles are 1 7/8" lunsford titanium both using lunsford ball ends.
RPM delrin balls on the five link, I will be running B4 wheels with .125 spacers in the rear with the links spaced in .25" as discussed in prior builds. I spaced the lower trailing link out with aluminum spacers as I tend to think the arms are a bit close to the chassis when you space them in at the back hub.
Inside the transmission is the dual bearing ball differential with ceramic diff and thrust bearing balls and of course the slipper clutch shown. Also noting Turnigy Lipos fit perfectly in stock bulkhead and battery cup shown.
More to come.
