Asuga Stig's Asuga

[The Stig]

Looking good!

Thanks, here a photo with both types of wheel. Damn, my hand smell like fresh rubber

Here a size comparison with my beloved little tank. To be honest, the Sketer is a big car for a official 1:10 car.

 

[The Stig]

Done........For now
Mounted the pos rear bumper. Front and rear are the same. Added some blue wheelnuts and a ring around the motor so it does not flex as much when i jump. Will do that also to the Sketer.
Hope wheather will be oke soon so i can let my Asuga out for her maiden run

Next job. Put the custom engraved 7075 front en rear diff casses from Erik van Ravenstein in. Awesome craftsmanship as usual

 

[The Stig]

I just received the center diff motor mount inserts from Erik a few days ago and installed them in my Radix6 and my Muraco. These are the first parts I've bought from him, and I can tell I will be buying more as my RC budget allows.

 

[The Stig]

His stuff is really good. Got some nice never tested or seen stuff from him comming up on my Asuga soon

 

[The Stig]

Front diff from Erik as well. Put 10k diff oil in it.

Nice, I enjoy building these cars more than I do running them.

I love doing both but i build more then run. Love it

So my screw head is rounded from my lower arm where the shock is mounted. Manual is saying m3x16. But i measured it and it is 24.6 mm long from front till end. Hed head is not 8mm thick so i guess the threat length is around 22mm. I put a m3x20 in there because i did not had anything else. So far it holds

Kind of a crappy illustration too.... shock end should go inside the A arm, not on the outside.
If it fits, it shouldn't be a problem.

It is inside the a arm. The screw holding it is rounded and longer then what the manual is saying. Replaced it with a m3x20 because i did not have a longer one. Hope it holds

Let me be the first to show you titanium front shock tower for the Asuga! They are heavier then the original but so much more durable. If you want them also, please contact Erik van Ravenstein through facebook. He will help you out.

Tires weight comparison. Original Asuga tires vs Pronline Badlands 2.8 unbelted.

 

[The Stig]

Asuga is 44cm wide now

Looks like the 15mm MMM hex extenders did the trick. Damn, this things looks tough. Now waiting on 1 part that will arrive tomorrow. Then i will let her rip. So what you guys think, rip on original tires or on the badlands.

That's a fine looking rig!!!! How does she handle on the Prolines? Do they give better air control than the stock wheels? Are you running 4 or 6s?

Thanks . I don't jump much. It is a really stable platform so i think it will handle jumps well. For the 2.8 prolines you need 15mm hex extenders. Wheels are a bit heavier but i run only 4s so the motor is not getting really hot. Sofar it rips.

Thanks, I think I may get one, in place of my Typhon 6s

 

[The Stig]

KIA? Think so
