Cool to see it finally going. Yeah neg caster so the wheels face up basically when turning instead of pushing.

 

[EddieB]

I've got 2 more vids that are SLOWLY uploading, I'll post when they are done. One you can see the chassis on

First off good to see it finally up and running, it looks good and so does the chassis, as for steering I hear good things about the 86jeep steering set up for bergs, here is a link to his profile on RCC maybe you can PM him http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/member.php?u=5752

Just realized they were videos haha, those were funny videos, doopid doggy lol. That cinderblock swallowed you up real good ha. Real nice chassis, really small lookin too

Here is another option for you. http://www.chaoticcrawlers.com/services.html

I have the servo already smashed in between the axle and motor, need knuckles and a good link now.

Think I'm going to move my front lower links to the outside of the chassis, noticed the chassis catching there.....

 

[EddieB]

trying some 3\8 aluminum rod for steering links.... maybe......

 

[abadk9420]

if you are going to use aluminum 1/4" or 5/16" should be plenty, if using delrin then I would go with 5/16" or 3/8"

in those vids I'm running a 3/8 delrin link and when a tire gets in a bind it does not move, I've actually had both wheels pointing away all the way out more than once, that jr8711 is STOUT lol. I'm going to try the 3/8 aluminum, if that doesn't cut it, then I'm going to order some custom made titanium links... if that doesn't do then ....?????

 

[abadk9420]

You could also try stainless steel, but any of the metals are going to be way stiffer then the delrin in a smaller diameter if you are using solid rod. My titanium drag link on mine is pretty darn stiff and it is only 3/16" solid rod.

 

[EddieB]

these 3/8" links seem like they will be the solution, they are pretty stout.

steering setup

My no knowledge, no skill, not much of a plan attempt at a chassis that seems to be working decently so far

Holly articulation Batman!!!!! You might want to limit your articulation a little, too much articulation can hurt you, also looks like your steering is kinda limited, but it looks good, one thing with crawlers they seem to be ever evolving, LOL!!!

Yeah, the servo horn is too short, need just a little bit longer one for it.

It got bound up pretty tight there, but made it. The combination pushup with the front and the rear climbing works pretty good.
