Luke's Dual I-Beam 3D printed RC PreRunner.

[luke66]

got some pics to start.
the Chassis: (missing the front I-beams, gotta buy some screws to get the front suspension mounted)

and the body:​

this is a rear-drive design, ill be running a 2s battery on brushed to start, might move up to 2s brushless if i feel like it. this truck is more realism than performance.
Stay tuned!

 

[Finesavageboy2]

Cool! Definitely will stay tuned!

 

[WickedFog]

Very nice dude!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Nice work @luke66

Looks good so far.

What kinds of Rc brands will you be using??

not sure so far, i have 2 XL-5 ESCs sitting around, so those will get used up. ill have to pick up a new motor. i havent had the best experience with Titan 12T motors. Any better brushed motors out there? ill swap the connecter on the XL-5 to a EC5 so i can use a better 2S than traxxas 'power cell'.

 

[Finesavageboy2]

You can you the after market ones the make for racing ( don't know the brands)

yeah, but racing motors will most likely have a shorter life. also, they cost about the same as a 50$ brushless system I've used.

i would just go 2s brushless immediately

Looks like a fun project. Can't wait for the outcome.

I had good luck with rc4wd and axial $10 motors on 3s. Ran them in my 10.2 through all kinds of conditions.

i wanna see how it handles brushed first, plus, i have a XL-5 laying around. i dont want to blow up my 3D printed Diff.

gotcha. are there gonna be any run vids soon?

after i get it running lol.
i dont have a YT channel yet, so it will be harder to post vids here, plus, our neighbors are a bit touchy about their land being on YT.

 

[Lukedavis]

lol how much longer?

[luke66]

lol how much longer?

well, i have to get some screws and such to get it put together, then i have to round up electronics, then i have to find out a way to mount the body, then i have to get some bearings. this build is far from done. figure about a month from now.
