Default Re: Another Structo Dump Truck Conversion

Aww, no more sports dump truck?. Looks like a good restart!

I like the spring hangars, but that shackle may limit the suspension movement. If you want more suspension articulation later, you can often swap the brass leaf bushings for a piece of silicone fuel tube/aquarium air line.

The rear pinion angle looks good, how does everything feel with some weight on it?

What size hexes do your new wheels have?

The wheels I want to use are smaller than the redcat hex. My wheels are from a dromida sct, and the size, tread and wheel style are all pretty good look for a dump truck.

I remember seeing fuel line bushings, is that so there is some give and flex? My brass bushings are pretty loose.

The springs seem okay, but haven't really tested it yet...
