Project: Xtreme
Alright...I decided since it is a 3-day weekend to start modifying my F-150 to be an Off-roader. Like I have said before, I am going to mount a Pajero/Montero 2 door model on it.
So far it has the off-road upgrade installed, and 4wd. I got some radline motors, so I need to put the Xmod wires on them. Would neo magnets make the green Radline Motor have even more torque, or should I just let it be? I also need to fix the darn bump steering. Its really annoying. I am trying this idea I have though to fix it so I hope it works. Anyways, I'm gonna relocate the battery case to the top on the chassis, and then install my 6 cell up grade. Also gonna do the articulation mod to it. Right now the truck's rear differential is broke on one side so it is running 3wd. :lol: I got a question for anyone who uses Radline motors in their trucks..... Do you use the motor spacer in it, and do you have to loosen the gear cover a lot? I have noticed this on mine, that the pinion gear rubs the gear cover, so I had to loosen it a lot. Here are some pictures I took really fast....not much modification noticeable yet. Sorry for the poor quality, its with my cell phone. :lol: More Updates to come later. :bigwink: http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...008_153000.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...008_153600.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...008_174800.jpg If you look closely I put the 2 long screws through some springs. :lol: http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...008_175000.jpg |
nice, dont wory about the quality, i take all mine with the built in camera on my laptop lol
|
haha nice bro they ain't that bad for a phone especially with them being that big
|
Looks good,cant wait to see the body....
|
Alright, finally finished the articulation mod....I think its got enough...:lol:
Sorry if pics are bad...my eyes keep trying to close....:uhoh: Will try to maybe move the battery pack tomorrow...:bigwink: Fixed bump steering aslo. Will post pics tomorrow. Suspension in the front is pretty hard though, but i guess its ok. http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_000800.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_000900.jpg |
Yeah tell me orus how cuz id like mine to be straight when i go to the car show here......

Alright little update.....got the battery relocation done, just gotta run out and get some more velcro. I also did my 6 cell addition while doing the main holder relocation. I'm so glad I didn't screw anything up....yet. :lol:
Here are some pics. I took springs and put them in to help correct the bump steering. I didn't use any glue, just 2 springs cut in half. Still need to do some more stuff....such as fit my big wheels to it, and order some GPM maybe. :bigwink: I might have to do the wide axle stub upgrade...if I can find axle stubs laying around! :lol: I think its going to look good with the Pajero body on it....:nod: Should I put neo mags in the radline motor? :-? I put springs on the long screws above the front wheel knuckles.... http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_160000.jpg And I also put springs on the screws that hold the tie rod to the knuckles http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...bumpsteer1.jpg Here are some pics of the battery relocation http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_160200.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_160101.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_160201.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...108_160400.jpg |
Looking very nice! Hah you'll need some big tires to take up all that space. So far so good.
|
Thanks. Yea, the tires I have are pretty big. The F-150 isn't the permanent body though. I just tested it, and for being 3wd it sure went! My crappy rechargeable batteries actually worked for once.
If the antenna touches a battery or motor is that how you fry your range? I want to be careful, cause the antenna goes under the battery holder...but I haven't put it on yet...:lol: |
Got the model kit. Currently the body is blue like in the picture, but I'm gonna change that since they didn't paint the hood blue....:-?
Kind of weird.... I like the tires that come with it, they are bigger than the off-road wheels by a bit. The stock xmod truck rims fit in them, but don't allow enough room between the wheel and chassis. :( I need to get some glue, and paint....going to the store right after this. :bigwink: The body fits just right. :bigwink: http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...208_154200.jpg |
about the radline motors.
i run them in several of my trucks and even a couple cars. and i have had no problems with the pinion gear rubbing the cover. try pushing it on a little more. they are pretty much the same dimensions at the xmod stock motors just better quality motors. and neos would help it have even more torque. anything other questions? |
that is looking great. i like your ideas. lets see this thing finished =Þ
|
Dang tht looks better than mine so far....And i havent even got mine yet lol
|
Alright Zippo I'll try that. I have noticed that the motor cover has to be on there really tight, mine gears keep slipping out. :evil:
Do you run yours with the spacers in? I currently am now, but when I tried it without it seemed to not slip as much....but It could just be me. I hope it will be finished before that competition is up! Maybe it will be good enough....:roll_eye: :lol: I think the Montero/Pajero body will look really good on it. Not sure about the wheels though. Might have to find some other ones still, or just make the body set a bit lower down. If you have seen AeroSynch's 1:10th scale Pajero, I might go with that color, white and black. Although....a bright red just popped into my head....and I think that might look good....:D |
yeah i use the spacers same as i would an xmod motor. the only one i had to modify the motor holder on was the evo car for the modified radline with the ball bearings. the endbell wouldn't fit without modding it. but there shouldn't be a fitment issue with any from the 3 pack. push the pinion on some more and try that.

Alright a little update here. Moved the battery holder and 6 cell.
http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...608_202400.jpg Also got the body white. Needs another coat, which I'll do in the morning. http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...o/DSCN1194.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...o/DSCN1195.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t...o/DSCN1197.jpg |
*Gasp* Its white....Also great job on the 6 Cell and Battery holder movement...
|
Thanks. I think I'll mount the 6 cell on the hood, or front of the body. Yes its white.......for now......:roll: :lol:
|
but if you keep the fifth and sixth cells where they are reight now you've got good traction
|
looking good so far cant wait to see it finished :)
