Status: offline 		i was thinking of removing the baffle inside but i noticed the O-ring does not make contact causing a leak and i thought it might affect preasurising the fuel tank. also i blew the front shocks out. is the bladder/diafram what seals the top? if so where do i get new bladders/diafram i inspected them and they have rubber missing from the outer diameter not sealing up? also i just wanted to let you guys know i work in a machine shop running a lathe and i have all kinds of acces to cnc mills and lathes and i work with feather lite aircraft alum. i have already fabricated a custom front bumper (pictures soon) im also designing a rear bumber and skid plates for the control arm and titanium dog bones id like to get the dimensions for a tuned pipe im pretty sure i could make 1 myself. damn wish my wife would get from the store already so i can go outside and play im wathing the kids right and i see rain clouds.

Status: offline 		yeah man the failsafe will work good. You have to take the baffle out and cut it off so all you have left is the part that the O ring seals up to it should just look like a plastic ring when your done I had tha same problem man.

Status: offline 		ok heres a picture of my nami with my custom bumper it took about 15-20 mins drawing it up on CAD and 2.3 min's to mill using a prototrak cnc mill it can be mounted on top of the frame or the bottom the screw holes are counter sunk and slotted for adjustment and the bumper is designed to bend during high impact its easy to bend back. i can pretty much program the mill for any design. i chose that design as a test. the aluminum is feather lite aircraft grade. rear bumper coming soon.

Status: offline 		pretty much any 1/10th body will fit. you might have to do a little trimming but other then that it will work.
Any chance you can make servo horns? A longer horn makes the steering better but all the long plastic ones Ive tried so far are too flexible.

Keith have you thought of just putting a faster servo on for faster steering?

Status: offline 		well keith im looking at the servo horn the only problems i would run into is the shaft coming out of the servo is a spline (teeth that stop the horn from slipping) a quick fix for that would a small set screw actually a small set screw would ideal you could really fine tune it. the other problem would be is everything on these trucks uses metric and being in the US my shop only uses SAE thread taps. the linkage ball on the horn is metric other than that i should beable to make the horn ill check out prices on metric taps might be a few bucks or might be 100 bucks.

thats a sweet bumper man , i also work in a machine shop on a cnc mill and other machines. i looked at making a bumper like that but i was abit unsure about hitting sumthing really hard and bending the chassi plate because the bumper is so solid . so i went for a plastic one that gives, a fair bit . but good work anyway , it will be cool to see what u make next.
