Asuga Project Krasugaton/kasugaton

[Nelson.81]

Last few bits , only thing I think I still need is body posts/mounts just haven’t decided on what I’m going to use yet. Couple sets of Vp pro bulldogs my go to tires. I don’t know if I’ll even need fans with this motor setup & not much space for them but quite liked silver fans thought match rest of build & don’t usually see them in silver either. Working nightshift all wkend but might bring it into work tomorrow night make a start on it or get to on my days off during the week . Shouldn’t be too long before I get it done now, can’t wait to get all this mess off my bench.

I am impressed with this build. Love it.
What speeds are you after, because i already got my Asugas well over 70mph with the Max6 g1 systems

 

[Nelson.81]

Thanks , Probably similar speeds but I’m off road & temps biggest issue for me just looking cooler setup, I’m hard on battery on 6s they get too hot , so hoping on 8s more volts less amps will with help that. Just trying something different to, done max6 combo before let’s see what 1721 all about & what xc esc can do

Front end bolted up, gone for Kronos shock towers pretty similar geometry to Asuga but has mounting options for body posts which I need saves me drilling Asuga towers,EVR diff case & corally 7075 bulkhead still got wide hubs & Cvds to install , not much but it’s some progress get rear built tomorrow evening hopefully then be able to mark up the chassis braces for drilling chassis.

That's funny. I also just mounted the TC 7075 front tower from the Muraco, that i converted to a Shiroi-ish truck, on the Asuga that i crashed last week.

This build is pretty much done everything under the bodyshell anyway apart from sticking the esc down , tidying up some wiring & setting up esc/servo. What holding it up is rear wing mount was broke hadn’t noticed but hardly a surprise or big deal & also need rear body posts why I haven’t got them yet is I originally had the adu diff mount & cover but when changed to the EVR diff cover it has different bolt pattern to adu so had to go back to the plastic version, EVR does a metal version but I prefer the 2 piece design where don’t have to remove diff mount from chassis to get the diff out so I need the corally 7075 part & it’s been out of stock for wks so when it comes back in stock I’ll get final few bits required & finish it off. Still have bodyshell to paint could have done it but been lazy & keep changing my mind in colour want it. What reckon for main body colour and do I add the flat clear go for matt finish?

 

[Nelson.81]

I’m gonna call this done for now, last month or so haven’t had time for rc and this been sitting sidelined, it hasn’t actually even been turned on yet I still need to drop a receiver into it & stick some qs8’s on some Lipos but I’m off next wk so will get fired up soon enough hopefully without the fire . I kinda messed up the design & painting of the body, it’s not the worst but it’s not look I was going for & its bugging the poop outta me so I’ll get a new shell for it , they just outta stock everywhere in uk atm, so unless I want to pay through nose & get ripped off on shipping fees it’s gonna have to wait for now. With Asuga arms, wide hubs & the offset of the vp pro 1107g bulldogs it’s a little bit wider than my Kronos on truggy wheels but I think I want to add the longer arms to it also, what’s you think? but will run it 1st before I do that see what she like. Still waiting on the corally 7075 centre diff bulkhead to come back in stock to add to it, only been mailing list for it for 3 months now

 

[Nelson.81]

Didn’t post it on here before but made fan mount for it myself also a while back.

Every time I look at these pics and look at that esc I think "that's going fiddlesticking rip that is " . Build looks fantastic

Thanks I won’t take full credit for the fan mount kinda copied hudy design dual fan mount then adapted it to fit similar to the kagama le fan mount only it’s designed for 30mm fans
