I did. Mine doesn’t use stock or stock style replacement parts anymore, but it’s good to see the link posted to maybe help someone else. There was a company over in Australia that I found sitting on a bunch of parts, but they were unwilling to ship to the US. I offered to buy out their entire...
I’m in NJ I didn’t see your previous question. Which version do you mean the original one that was mostly stock/stock replacement stuff on 2S/3S? Yes that wouldn’t be impossible to duplicate.
The second version using the stock chassis pan towards the end of this thread is completely custom. I...
yup. since it was originally using a ax10 style transmission we had some generic ax10 dual motor plate on it and then had to fab up our own mount to the rear shock tower. it was just a flat plate of aluminum and it would literally bend every single time one of the motors took the slightest...
Each 3674 is fed by its own Max10 SCT and 4S 100c. Power is sent through a SSD Wraith transmission with Robinson Racing guts, a custom RR gen 3 mod 1 clutch, and finally MIP X-duty axles. Arrma 6S shocks, custom springs and valving, belted Proline Badlands. Most of the rest of it is just...
Spent the remainder of the season on James 2wd off road speed car and it’s undergone a huge amount of changes. His twin brothers are limiting our time and money to run two cars. I’ve mostly got mine mocked up and doing little things like side skirts and servo mount.
James went 50mph GPS on 4S...
Haven't updated this in a bit. We have been mostly concentrating on James 2WD car. The 4WD is under a major renovation. Most of the major architecture has been laid out to move forward, we need to pick and mount batteries and finalize the steering servo mount in order to continue moving forward...
There is hardly anything, really. The body shell. Which will absolutely change if we get fast enough. Such is to be expected trying to go this fast starting with an entry level RTR that was probably $150 new. Even in the last version with the Slash front and rear differential guts and all...
I was just reading your build thread, LOL. When weighing my son's 2WD, I figured out that if I put the wood on the scale before turning it on, it would zero. I don't put too much faith into the weight itself, lots of variables, but I do trust the weights compared to one another to get a F/R...
@Greywolf74 I went back from the start and deleted the old images and attached them through this forum. Could you do me a favor and sample a few and see if they work right for you? They seem to work correct from all my devices.
I haven't posted in a bit, partly because our focus has been...
Corner weighted the car just to get an idea of where we are at. I built in a considerable amount of "movable" mass to be able to fine tune the car. On big power, wheelies have always been the enemy of this chassis previously it lifts the front end which baloons and explodes tires and grenades...
I'll look into it. Probably beyond my electronics skillset, but my brother is a robotics engineer. I've taken circuit boards to him for repair before when the part was no longer made for replacement. I have the ability to test capacitance on my DVOM to see whether it's just cosmetic or...
A lot has been happening lately with life and I just haven't had time to keep the thread up to date. While looking for other stuff we found a killer local deal on a max8 + 4274 2200kv combo. A few scratches on the can and a decent dent in one of the caps but appears to function fine. Made up...
We found the missing nose piece LOL
We also began to have an issue with the rear driveshaft popping out. What was odd is that there wasn't enough play in everything to move it back in, I had to unbolt the top chassis brace and loosen the diff from below to get it back in both times...
It has been an up and down few days of testing (more ups, luckily). I had a chance to get it out much later at night the same day as the last for a second session (I didn't have enough free time to tear it down and do anything meaningful), and it did well, though the ESC got a little warm...
Yeah, that's how I did the last post, the one that starts with the Vivaton spur. Can you see that post ok? Once the file(s) are attached, they are shown in preview along the bottom, with an "Insert" option. On other forums (like the sister ECX forum), when you click that you get either Insert...
Bear with me, trying to edit this one to work
Vivaton 29mm (EXB) spur is here. 44T versus the 50T that was on it. 47mm OD vs 53mm OD
One immediately noticeable problem is the pinion I have on it (I think its a 14T) isn't large enough to mesh because of the motor mount geometry. I ordered a...
Sorry guys, since I’m a member I can’t see that. Lame, it’s a sister forum in the same network. I’ll try to move them over with posts starting tonight and then go back through
The YouTube videos show/link ok?
one of the last major pieces that need to be fabricated was a tower-to-tower brace. the stock ECX 4wd has an upper chassis "spine" that has two bolts to each diff and a series going down the center tunnel and the driveshaft rests in between (kinda like a slash). Obviously I can't run that. On...
One major problem noted from the test drive was the double bearing setup on the rear diff did not work. Not surprising. No one makes a bearing with the ID and OD necessary to run one bearing here. The outer bearing walked, which make for a lot of side to side eccentric motion as the diff cup...
