*****CDW AX10 Delrin skid plates for double triangulation*****

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

INSTOCK NOW






(NEW DESIGN, now machined down from 3/8 delrin) CDW Delrin skid plates (NEW DESIGN) for double triangulation, we offer a stock replacement skid plates as well as the narrow version(55mm) skid Plates. The skid Plates are CNC milled from 3/8 delrin.They come with all hardware needed.Cost is $14+$2 shipping to the USA.




See how far forward I put the Tranny holes, keeps the weight as far forward as possible and you have clearance for the dig and cobalt motor also. The rear links clear the dig and cobalt motor on the stock truck at full flex but its close. So if your truck lower than stock, just make a spacer from your old skid plate, like the spacer in the pic.If you do need to add the spacer you need to buy longer tranny bolts.The truck in the pics is NOT running the spacer.

This skid also works without the dig with stock drive shafts, I recommend Extended Pede shafts (http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1153728&postcount=31) though.

yes, they will be Pre drilled for the Ax10 tranny, What width do you want? Is it still for the stock chassis? I am hoping to get the OK to build these skids for the black Jack Also.;-)

Thanks

...Yota you reckon you could fit one of these into a 5 buck Global Envelope?

[prusik333]

If that material is thick enough, can you make one of those like CKRC chassis where i can still put the links inside next to the frame but it would be thick enough it wouldn't mess with the new VF dig unit?????? I understand if you don't want to mess with this. I'm not sure on the double triangulation thing yet, still new to all this crawler stuff.

Here you go.

To really get the advantage you need 4 link to dial in your suspension. I will have billet rear 4 link mounts for sale in the near future.

EDIT: Oops, I will take one of FULL articulation tomorrow

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

got the wide skids in yesterday and Got some narrow skids in today. Now shipping. PM me for payment info.

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

Here is how to extend a pede shaft for people using my skids without a dig.

First buy a Traxxas half shaft pro pack #1953 the left overs will be for spare shafts.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/yotachump/extendedpedeshaft005.jpg

you will be using 2 female shafts and 1 male shaft.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/yotachump/extendedpedeshaft013.jpg

Cut the male shaft as close to the yoke as possible. (I should of cut it a bit closer.) than make a mark 3/8" up from the cut end.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/yotachump/extendedpedeshaft014.jpg
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/yotachump/extendedpedeshaft019.jpg

Cut 3/4" off of the female shaft from the NON yoke end.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/yotachump/extendedpedeshaft016.jpg

push in the male shaft into the female shaft to your 3/8" mark on the male shaft.(cut end in)than apply lots of CA glue to the and wait to dry.now you have your extended pede shaft.

Received my wide skidplate this morning, and mounted it up on my rockracer/crawler this afternoon. Adding the skid, the upper link mount, and a few tweaks to the front uppers, eliminated all the binding issues I was having with my other custom setup. Articulation is silky smooth now. Nice skid"thumbsup"

[rcbubba]

I am looking to put one of these in a mfm racing chassis. Could you make a custom Chassis mount???

will send pm.

[Phatmac]

My blem stock width skid came in the mail today. Looks awesome. It may not be up to your high standards, but it's 100% nicer looking that my chopped up stock plate. Cheers. "thumbsup"

[newbe]

Can you get these skids without any holes drilled for the trans?

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

Can you get these skids without any holes drilled for the trans?

ON the next run I will have some blank skids , this run of skids where all drilled for the AX trans.

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

55mm SOLD OUT for now, Until the next run

[MuchMoore]

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the benefit of this setup? I understand that moving the links inside the chassis plates increases clearence, but why so far inboard?

[bigflex]

got it today! Thanks it looks really nice."thumbsup"

[mtnyote]

can you please give us any kind of e.t.a. on the undrilled skids"thumbsup"

Double triangulation is to help eliminate or lessen the axle steer

[mtnyote]

hey anthony,

those channels in the new skid would provide a little more clearance, but i still wouldnt ever run a skid like that. it seems like it would get hung up. what about making the skid thicker and grooving out the whole center, that way there is no lip to catch on rocks"thumbsup"

then the rod ends will be exposed, and you will hand up on things, that is why it is not like you said. be there tried that;-)

[mtnyote]

what if you just channeled out the center a little cleaner. i wish i could show you what i mean:x

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

Any more input than those 2 people? you guys want me to keep it ungrooved or groove it??

[Dickie691986]

I would like an ungrooved one for the blackjack if you can get permission to do so. "thumbsup"

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

I would like an ungrooved one for the blackjack if you can get permission to do so. "thumbsup"

There is really not enough interest and not enough BJ's out there to have me get them made. and If I did a small Quantity run, the prices would be high.

[666]

I would groove them, the grooves help hold a line instead of sliding of sideways.

[Tanis]

I prefer a smooth belly, but I can see what 666 is saying, in certain situations it would come in handy to not slide sideways"thumbsup" So I'm really not much help Anthony, I think both have their advantages:ror:

[eddy4753]

Get your Groove on............:D...."thumbsup"

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

so maybe I should offer both??Grooved and ungrooved.

posted a better drawing.
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1249308&postcount=63

[mtnyote]

anthony, i again say ungrooved. what i would REALLY like to see is an ax10 skid to fit the exact width of an r2d. that would be sick!!!

[newbe]

Either for me. If I chose one, I prefer smooth. I'd probably try both though.

[Trugg]

I'd definitely prefer GROOVED "thumbsup"

[jedrattle]

I would prefer smooth.

[shockwave]

Definitely groove em.

[Phatmac]

Definitely groove it. Also, drill it for two transmission mounting options, so that you could be forward or centered by roating the skid 180 degrees. "thumbsup"

[rubiredunlmtd]

noooo!!
when will the next batch be ready?
need 2.

[mtnyote]

i hope you make some with r2d pre-drilled or an undrilled. mine looks like swiss cheese with the axial holes in it. "thumbsup"

[vn1500]

i pm ed you , pay-pal ready if there are any left

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

well, it seemed like it was 50/50 grooved/ungrooved. So I decided to offer both. Both styles will be available in pre drilled tranny holes or no tranny holes.

[newbe]

Good deal. Go ahead and put me down for one of each undrilled.

[NeXt559]

2 questions-

1. would there be any clearance issues w/ the upper links if i were to use the bent lowers?

2. when will these be available for purchase?

[MuchMoore]

2 questions-

You should probably run the regular lower links, I know they are like 3/8" apart on my truck. Im sure the effect they give is well worth the clearence loss though.

[RotaryRush]

Nice skid plate man, I would like to get one from the next batch.

[rubiredunlmtd]

put me down for 2 drilld for ax10, no groove

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

I think they start getting cut next week so I hope to have them in 2 weeks.

[wojin]

just got mine in the mail yesterday. with bent links they hit the top links. switched to straight lowers.

also, you have to mount the top links in the middle posistion with the lowers in the outside to get an acceptable pinion angle


on a side note, the blemished ones look pretty damn good, the "good" ones must be works of art. and i was suprised they came with hardware too, had a trip planed to the hobby shop, but it wasnt needed

[wojin]

and when the next batch comes in, let me know, ill take 2 more as backups

[mockknight]

Put me down for one!

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

All skids should be in by the end of next week.:lol:

[newbe]

Are you offering in different widths again?

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

Are you offering in different widths again?

yes, stock width and 55mm

[BritCrawler]

Is there any rational reason why you opt for using 2 Nut/Bolts to hold the lower links in rather than 1 long bolt or all-thread with a spacer tube between the ball ends, or is it just to accommodate people using different types of links/ball ends? It's just I'd opt to do it with one shaft across the whole chassis to prevent me twisting the skid plate up too hard, and to add rigidity to the plate and chassis bottom, as well as lessening the chance of getting something snagged between the bolt ends (unlikely but it could happen :)).

[wojin]

not a terrible idea, but then you would have a nut sticking out on one side. he suplies a nice set of low-pro button heads and the bolts are close enough that theh havent snagged yet

[THAT1GUY]

I would like a stock width one please. PM you paypal when ready.

Thanks

[toecutter]

I will take a stock width one if possible

Thanks

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

Sorry for the long wait guy's there was a huge delay at the shop. I will let you know as soon as I see them.

[BritCrawler]

My current rig actually has a nut sticking out of *both* sides as I used allthread, and you are right it can be a problem (not least to tighten up using nylocs!), I've since looked at the detail of the AX-10 chassis and a lot of attention is paid to keeping things flush or low-pro, so I guess the way the CDW hardware works is a better way.

[CRAWLER DESIGN WORKS]

I talked to the shop yesterday and he said that the skids will be ready Wednesday night. Sorry of the LONG wait.

I think you had to dremel some off because the axial slipper has a ton of play in it. MAke sure it is pushed all the way back, and you should NOT need any dremeling.

[wild bill]

I think you had to dremel some off because the axial slipper has a ton of play in it. MAke sure it is pushed all the way back, and you should NOT need any dremeling.



Ya your correct. But i was not pleased with the play in the axial slipper so my way of solving it was to insert two traxxas teflon washers on the slipper shaft behind the cross pin. That took up most of the play. The problem here is the quality of axials slipper assembly not your product. Don't get me wrong i am very pleased with your product. Mabey I missed how to take up the play moving the spur closer to the transmision.
