Ikr I just put out video talking about it really asking about it. Put my Capra into a sporty and with rear link riser felt like I should raise rear link mounting position. Tried to find videos on it but not much other than 1:1 stuff which is not that relatable. But really for steeps and sidehills what’s proper or optima!!
@westdesertwheeler2666 having link separation on both ends makes a huge difference for anti squat, front is not so much important as the rear, but think of it as leverage, the further the links are separated the more leverage you are putting on the chassis, now while making the chassis links less separated you are taking away the anti squat qualities, if you are running up hill anti squat is great cause it will lift the rear suspension any time it has torque going through the rear axle, drag cars explain anti squat way better than crawlers, and it's why cleetus can run 6 seconds all day it's about getting that power to the ground and if that suspension soaks up all the force the wheels are putting down you ain't going now where at least not fast lol
That was my gut feeling so I separated yet kept rear links parallel vs angles down towards chasis because of link riser on axle so raised on chasis thinking when standing on end on steep up hill the links help limit suspensions compression. In front in RC think you still want it to flex and twist and with weight also on front there is less space with front biased weight.
This truck just keeps getting more amazing. The rocks you're on are more like the rocks in socal where I am from. I'm doing a little crawling on the Red Rocks tomorrow. Stay safe
Logan, 3 things: 1. I love your narrative! 2. Great photography. 3. Your driving skills are amazing. Especially when you explain what you are doing and why.
I put a brazin scale pacesetter on my Scx 10 pro and it’s amazing. I’m going out tomorrow to my test spot to run my vrd for the first time to see if it will even come close to my Scx .
Do you notice a big difference between servo on axle with fusion vs servo behind axle and stubby. I was gonna build up a vrd carbon and im trying to decide what dirrection i would like to go. Im leaning fusion and 1100 servo on axle but if there is a noticeable upgrade with servo behind axle and outrunner then i would consider going that route. Thanks for all the content
Logan thanx for sharing man. That was a great place to test out your chassis/axle swap. Question though, can we get a post run maintenance breakdown? How did the chassis hold up to the rock scrub?...and the straight F10s? Are the OD tranny gears in good shape. Is the underdrive ring & pinion in good shape.
Do your shocks leak oil? If not, do you have a trick to stop them from leaking 😅 Also, what servo did you use on your VRD carbon build? I'm using a raw 800lp brass with a castle bec and it seems really weak compared to the agfrc A81BHMW I was using with the fusion pro 2300kv built in BEC at 7.4v on top of the axle (which has a rated much lower stall torque).
I'm just not impressed with 6 degrees skids, I think 12 degrees should be norm anything less just doesn't cut it. Your rock trails are awesome, wish we had some trails like it here in the islands. Have you tried the new JConcepts Megalithics? Would love to see you drive it.
Well, this isn’t a scale focused build you’re correct. But this is not a sportsman. That would require 2.2” wheels and a 12.5” wheelbase. Why are you leaving comments like this? It’s toy trucks. There’s nothing to be upset about
Hey Logan you should do a RUclips tutorial on how to set up your suspension and links and how that impacts your truck, just saying.
Yeah I'd definitely watch that! Probably several times.
Truthfully if I did a video testing it I’d learn as much as the audience did

How does this chassis compare against the Zoku and Rock Pirates? Comparo would be nice

Logan,

2. Great photography.
3. Your driving skills are amazing. Especially when you explain what you are doing and why.
This build inspired my build. I put a stance chassis with VRD carbon links on my straight axle Phoenix. The rig is so much fun!
Dig your videos. This vid is one that made me decide to buy the VRD straight axle kit.
I really love my carbon fiber Hilo chassis.... Brazen scale all the way!!!
Cool place to wheel. No surprise you always got the good spots. Trucks working good.
I quite like my stance rtr, I really don’t want to deviate too far from stock in my upgrades.
Nice! Looks like some of our local terrain and has me re-thinking my next build. Thanks!
Straight axle for the win. That truck is a beast, well set up my friend
dont look now but but your balance plug is showing lol awesome truck looking forward to more builds from this platform!
Excellent content, pro driving skills. Thanks for sharing. John
I think you should make that when your class too them lines I just seen you pool were insane

I'm kinda holding out for a mullet vfd carbon kit..
toss in those tires and body too for a nice lil package.. 😜
Thanks Logan! Edutaining as usual! Keep them coming!!!

Would love to see a ascent out here

How do you think this chassis would do with a VRD setup on portals and a wheelbase stretch to 12.6?
31:58 I feel like you know something we don’t

Brazin chassis a big upgrade over vrd carbon?
Impressive... And nice driving!
Looked really good Logan, Nice video
What shock ends are you using the med or long ?
Hey man, always keep that Stoke level high! Great video!
Did you change the tie rod?
Dude what’s it take to get a set of spec rc wheels? Always sold out not taking orders!!! It’s crazy
Gotta follow his Instagram for when he opens books

I'm sure a dumb question, but how do you get a 4 link straight axle? Take the "portal" housing and put regular knuckles on it?
The axle housings are different for f10’s.
Either you have a portal or a straight
@@nicholasstephey8475 I see that now, was thinking like the pro axle. So where or what had a 4 link straight axle?
What tires are you running?
Nice truck!!!
Belle vidéo 👍🏼🇫🇷
Has anyone set up front and rear dig that is not MOA
Yes, it’s a very custom thing though so there are few who have done it. Multiple We RC rock buggies are doing it

NOT SCALE!!!! sportsman rig,..... calling it scale is just stupid!
