Hi,

Well, the Black'Gouillat changed owner... It's time for a new built of Sportman I love this class !!
Not of big novelty for the moment, I resume the project almost as before.

The bottom of the frame is very slightly redrawn. I make it in delrin and I think of keeping it so. For this part the carbon do not please me too much, the weighty gain not being significant in view of the inconveniences of the carbon.



For the front axle, I keep the configuration of Margouillat Pro, that is with XR-10 Drive Shaft, cheaper than 300 and who gives a little more steering.
I wait some parts (Beef tube and Egressor knuckles)...



For electro, I use un Team Brood 45T motor, with Micro Mamba Pro. I had appreciated a lot precision of the SideWinder, but I found that it was sorely lacking punch.
Mamba is a little more powerful, normally :rolleyes: And perpetual Bec Castle.


To follow...

Cool

Hi,

Continuation

The skid, already begun there is a moment, but which ends slowly.

It is one part a little to complicate to make because it is the junction between the frame and the trany, and that I use a sheet of delrin of 16mm of thickness...





For the moment, I use a old upper frame, it will be surement replaced by one in carbon.


3g to win by crossbar, thus near 12g of gained very high on the frame!! It's good

Hello,

To the menu this evening, the links titanium :

On the old version, I used link titanium of 6mm, for the rear. There, I experiment links in 4mm, they have 2 advantages:

• They are lighter of 15g
• Their shape is much better and rod ends are better aligned in the direction of contraites

But the risk it is they bend in case of big shock... Thus, to make to test.



Here, the rear 4 link. After torture in the milling machine, there is 4 g of delrin


First assembly


I have to modify Egressor spool , with 4 little screw M3. The XR-10 shaft are 4.5mm of diameter, but the diameter of the AX10 shaft is of 5mm.


The reinforcement before, the lightest possible, 6g.

Sweet setup. Love the CF

[Hittman]

This is so nice. The lower links have super clean bends and that rear upper link mount is a work of art. Top notch work for sure

[TotoRax]

Hi,

Thank you for your comments For the rear links, I wait to have made the tests. Some titanium of 5mm would have been better but I cannot work with this diameter

[TSK]

fantastic work. This is sill on of the most creative builds on RCC.

Thank you for your comment

Some update, but the project set of the delay... Many parts (Mainly for the front axle) did not arrive yet

But there are some good news. In the first one my universal joints arrived. I won a purchase voucher at Big, to Notyro, I thus took advantage of it. It's universal joints for scale but it's also good for crawler




These universal joints are very beautiful qualities. Their diameter is small, thus they are discreet and especially light!! 55g for Mip and 38g for Notyro universal joints They seem solid, they are completely steel and re-builable. In brief, they please me well

Other good new, I received my transmission plate today. They are made in carbon of 3mm.




The set trany/skid weighs 83g (2.928 oz), less than one AX-10 trany with plastics gear


I was pressed to make it run, I thus have to use the front axle of Margouillat Pro.
Verdict, it weighs 1.674kg (3lb 11oz) RTR (without ballasts). On this project, I am going to try to run without ballast, to make a test. The design of this frame allows to have a distribution of the masses of 60/40 naturally.



Now, go to wear out it on rocks !!

[Hacksaw707]

Super nice work my friend

[TotoRax]

Hi,

Thanks Hacksaw707.

A last pic for weight bias (no weight on the rig ).

[Hittman]

Those carbon chassis plates are uber sick Very nice work bro

Thanks

Some news.

I switch my old Tekin by a new Micro Mamba


BEC takes place under the servo


In the rear, I inverted wheel rims and put the smallest hub VP, it gives me a back way of 27cm - 10.6".



Rx goes behind the trany


Quick skin...



The final weight stabilizes in 1652g RTR - 3.64lb.

Now !! GO TO THE ROCK

If your a weight saving junkie turn those boss claws inside out and shave all the ribbing off! Nice Rig!
