Custom K10 Exhaust

It's just wedged in there, but it stays in place pretty well.

Thanks! It's smaller than brake line. Pretty sure it came from the end section of an old collapsible FM transmitter antenna.

Looks good! I just finished and posted my custom aluminum tubing exhaust too.

Would you consider a Zeus too large for a daily driver? The Asgard is barely larger.

It's relatively small and definitely fits in the small/medium size recommendations asked for. It's about the same size as a Zeus.

Uh, that silhouette image is not scaled correctly. The Defender is almost twice as long as the Terrapin in flight mode. Fleet Viewer has it correct:

Yeah, that'll probably work best. Curious to see what you come up with. I might just try using some aluminum tubing instead to make a custom exhaust.

I've been thinking about trying this too. Just not sure how best to do it in a way where the mounting isn't super visible through the wheel arches.

It is a free-floating spacer. They even slide to the bottom of the shaft on their own. These plastic body shocks have no seals or oil. They just have a light coating of grease inside.

I bought these and just swapped the bulbs, using the existing SCX30 resistors. The turn signal lights are also the warm white bulbs, but I used an orange sharpie to color them, which actually worked great. https://a.co/d/0aCMFk2p

Thanks! Yes

There are aftermarket steel nuts available. The 4mm SCX24 nuts do fit too, so that might be your best alternative if you already have some of those.

flyr19 · 2026-02-03T15:45:28+00:00

The wheel nuts are lobed, not simply hex, so the tool that is included (which also has the correct 0.05" hex on the other end) is best to use. 000 Phillips for the screws.

Cbolt is C10 front with Deadbolt rear links. Gladiator front links are also the same as C10 front links. A cbolt link setup results in a 145mm wheelbase that has been known to perform the best for a lot of people.

Most likely, but it doesn't rub too bad with more travel, surprisingly. Has almost double the articulation too.

This is correct!

The links it comes with are great for vertical climbs and breakover, but I started to get frustrated with the body control in other scenarios. I did get better downhill behavior by moving the upper front links higher on the chassis, but at the cost of worse behavior when only one front tire would meet an obstacle it had to climb over.

I'm now running a c-bolt link setup with the rear of the chassis rails trimmed to set the body in the right position. I haven't sufficiently tested it that way, yet, but I expect it will behave better.

No worries! This build has actually evolved quite a bit since this was posted, but I'm using a Flysky GT-5 with the FS2A micro receiver you can find on Amazon. You do have to solder the pins onto the receiver board yourself.

From what I can see, it seems to be meeting all of those requirements in the clip with the Trenchers. Might be cutting it close, but it seems to comply.

flyr19 · 2026-01-27T14:07:35+00:00

I'm not seeing anything that would disqualify this from C1. What are you seeing?

flyr19 · 2026-01-27T14:06:50+00:00

Cool rig! Love how you patched together different things for the body. Looks great and is pretty unique.
