DROOL


Thats the nicest bit of machine work in a very long time:shock:

Nice job guys very original and glad you listened to the people here for the disconnect."thumbsup"

[G-crawler]

WoW!!! That is one bad mofo, how much torque done it need from a servo to shift? (total newb on more the 1 speed transmission) I was thinking if a small servo like the hitec 225 would be enough or would it need a stronger standard servo? Looks great!

[Reflection]

Looks very nice. Is there any gear down from this,or is the input and output 1:1

[CadToChrome]

this is a 1:1 ratio
the 3mm shift rod moves quite easy by hand. After testing we will have a better Idea. So far I have only ran it under load with a high speed cordless drill to test on the fly shifting. engagement is every 120 degree's of revolution

[Gula]

Price estimate?

[CadToChrome]

Price estimate?
I havn't totaled up everything yet. Lots of internal parts in this case.
I'm shooting for $150. maybe less(this is just a guess) It will depend on interest. Im guessing start up runs of 10 to 15 assembly's

If you do good marketing-price you easely sell more than that for sure;-) somewhere in the 20/30 range.

that is sweet.. that has got to be the best looking one so far..

Nice! I was hoping for a little gear down honestly,so we could just hook a motor up direct drive. Maybe a 65t or 75t would do the trick for direct drive.

One of these would look awefully sweet in the scale Toyota we are fixing to start on. I'll keep my eye on this for sure.

[buster22]

put me down for one"thumbsup"

[emaxxjeremy]

wow thats by far the coolest t case out yet

[XJ Farmer]

That thing is amazing"thumbsup" I live in the middle of the thumb(Marlette) so I'm pretty close to ya I think. Trying to finish up my scaler this would be a nice piece.


Later

[Hurley0706]

That is one nice piece of metal.

I am glad you went with a 3 gear setup rather than the first 2 gear unit "thumbsup"

The shifting is very cool too.

[Racer4Life]

I saw the pics on the website last night and was blown away. Very cool indeed. Way to go on taking the transfer case a step further!"thumbsup"

[cman_1500w]

That is too freaking cool! I would love to get one!

Just to clarify one thing, which outputs are for the driveshafts? Is it like the real thing where the front is the offset output or are the fr/rr down the center?

Great work!"thumbsup"

[mudslinger74]

nice transfer case would like to get one myself when you finish testing

[O.C.D.]

WOW!!! That is an amazing piece of work there. Do the shafts slide like a VF dig, or are the selections internal without shaft movement? Did that make sense?

WIsh I would have known as I just bought one of the other kind. Damn, I might have to sell that one for this?! lol

Excellent design by the way. I love the way it looks and can't wait ti hear how they perform as well.

[danielk]

whats the chances for a 6mm shaft version? :D

[Rpp Hobby]

Very nice Job Wes "thumbsup" Way better then I expected.

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Killer "thumbsup" BTW any update on the walkers :?:

[Rckcrwlr]

I know where this is going...

Great job!

[CadToChrome]

Thanks for the interest, Its been a long road building this. as for now 5mm shafts are used. I suppose you could use a bushing to get to 6mm. It works with the imput from your tranny and output to the front. single output to the rear. your option if you want 2wd front or 2wd to the rear. It uses a shifting fork to engage for 4wd. Thats the most important to test. I want to be sure it holds up. worst case is I'll have to use different material if the shift mechanism begins to cause problems. As of yet It's working well. Also note your servo can attach at the front or rear of t-case

[G-crawler]

That sounds great! This will be on my next build!

[Gula]

I'm astounded by the looks and features it has. I'm goint to see if I can get one $$ allowing. Wouldnt it be cool to hook this up to your 3 speed rig and have a 3 speed 2WD and 4WD. I think I may hook it up in a way that 1st and 2nd gear are 4WD and 3rd is 2WD.

[cman_1500w]

Which shaft is the input for the motor/transmission?

[CadToChrome]

OH..... the possibility's

[Hurley0706]

That is too awesome. I would love to run that in my FJ!

[O.C.D.]

OH..... the possibility's

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/Twincam88_photo_album/AX10TransDev.jpg

Hmm, scale transmission that bolts directly to a motor?! You make it I buy it! Hell, I might have to buy that case as well even though I have another kind.

[TattooKenny]

Put me on the list for one when they are done;-) Very nice indeed!

[DISTURBIN' tha PEACE]

OH..... the possibility's

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/Twincam88_photo_album/AX10TransDev.jpg
Please PM me when this combo is ready!"thumbsup"

[U DOWN]

OH..... the possibility's

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/Twincam88_photo_album/AX10TransDev.jpg
Awesome stuff"thumbsup"

[run2jeepn]

Got to have ASAP.....I've been screaming for this for a while.

[Basile_le_grand]

Do you have any plans to make a scale chassis for this stuff ?

[buster22]

put me down for one when there ready"thumbsup"

[CadToChrome]

testing has begun, So far things are working well. we did find some minor internal changes will be made, just tightening up a few tolerances on shaft end play. Shift mechanism is working good under load

[emac]

wow got to have

[RoCk SkuLLz]

WOW!! not sure what else to say.... Big "thumbsup"

[jeepcj578]

looks good but the top mount is what is killing it for me :-(

[dirk379]

ETA? Looks good...

[headhunter555]

Any news on this piece just came across it and wanna snag one up.

[rm25x]

Very slick! I also love the trans idea.

[CadToChrome]

ETA is getting close. we are currently building components for 10 t-cases. testing has gone well. I'll give you updates in a few days

[beachbum]

I deffinately need one too, amazing work!!!"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" PayPal at the ready. Waiting on Blackwell axels for my Boyer Bronco and that would look sweet tucked between them.

did you figure out a price?? and who is on the list???

[alloymetals]

i want one where do i sign up??

[beachbum]

did you figure out a price?? and who is on the list???


Yep, put me on whatever list there will be too, 1st run, 2nd run, whatever run, just on one for one"thumbsup"

[swatdoc]

And PLEASE make that transmission too - the combo would be unbeatable for a scale rig!

[x-factormaxx]

Why dont someone make the trans and t-case one peice like the real thing.

[62PYRO]

Why dont someone make the trans and t-case one peice like the real thing.

Not all vehicles have a "married" setup.

[x-factormaxx]

thats true but for a scale truck that would look better as one unit though

[CadToChrome]

Sorry for the delay's guy's
I got a little backed up with things.
I will have around 8-10 of these units for sale and I'm undecided if there will be a second go around. These turned out to be very time consuming so the price may go up a bit. I'll try and keep everyone informed
thanks for your patience .
Transmission is still in the phototype stage, more machining to go yet. And to let you all know there may be a scale chassis to mount these goodies in.

[Basile_le_grand]

Please put me down for one when there ready."thumbsup" Thanks

[buster22]

any more news on these"thumbsup"

[CadToChrome]

getting close guys
one problem I see is demand and production. currently working on the SS chasis, trany, t-case,things are slow as I am a lone wolf making the parts, so bear with me please. I am hoping for 10 unit's but not written in stone. I havr a large amount of prototyping to do for the end goal so I will need a little paitance from everyone

[crawl rookie]

please mill some out of Al. to, that way we can still have the same thing only cheap and less machine time on your side"thumbsup"

looks great;-)

[Thorsteenster]

Will the transmission be in the works or was it just for illustrative purposes?

[Thorsteenster]

Why dont someone make the trans and t-case one peice like the real thing.

Not all vehicles have a "married" setup.

It would be nice if it could be either way, I'd prefer married though. Honestly I think most would too given a trans and t-case like these, the divorced setup is just the easiest to do given what there is to work with right now.

[AlmstEvil665]

I would def be interested in one of these. Sorry to hear its so time consuming to build though. It is a work of art though and would be killer in one of my upcoming projects. Let me know if you'll have one available. Keep up the great work that trans is sweet too wouldn't mind one of those as well."thumbsup"

[Lonewolf]

Are these gonna happen???? ppl will buy....

[deephis46]

Any updates on t-case:?:...on tranny too:idea:

Would be any married setup price;-)

[jeepjames87]

would love to get both also. Great idea!"thumbsup"

[kalin96]

You guys got any updates on these things?

Awesome things

[run2jeepn]

Not sure what happened. Looks like he hasn't been online for 26 Days...

[kalin96]

Good hopefully he's busy working on em:mrgreen:

[Offroader5]

Are these still planned to be made? "thumbsup"

[Rpp Hobby]

Are these still planned to be made? "thumbsup"


I talked to them today and the answer is yes "thumbsup"

[Code454]

Sweet cant wait hopefully we will see the for sale soon than

[toy4crawlin]

Looks great, small foot print
I like the 32p

How about a 2 speed for Crawling and racing ?

[ElChupoCabre]

I talked to them today and the answer is yes "thumbsup"



Awesome... I will hold out for it then. Did he give you any sort of time line as to when we might expect them? I NEED IT! :mrgreen:

[Lonewolf]

It will be worth the wait!!!

[Thorsteenster]

Any updates?
