Figured I would let you good folks get a sneak peek at my latest project I have been engineering in my head. I wanted to do this back when I did the original front side jones, and now it has become a reality....

More to come as time permits. But I will be leaving for Vegas next week, so I probably wont be able to work on it until after I get back.

And no, this wont be an un-finished idea like the cheat

You forgot the Propeller!

klabeaume · 07-14-2012, 12:06 AM

Really innovative but what is the purpose?

Chris_The_Battery_Man · 07-14-2012, 12:15 AM

Weight placement and all the gearing is done on the axle not the chassis

Yeah, but I think this wouldnt this fall into a Moa and not a sportsman. The motor and trans is mounted to the axle.

Chris_The_Battery_Man · 07-14-2012, 01:18 AM

From what I understand all that it has to do is have 1 motor and shaft driven. This will be shaft driven, and only have 1 motor

klabeaume · 07-14-2012, 01:31 AM

Well, looking through the rules again I guess you're right. I just always assumed any type of moa was not allowed in a 2.2s class but it sounds like as long as you're only using 1 motor and 1 esc you should be good. Just so you know I am not trying to bust your balls on this. I think it's very cool seeing one off new ideas! Keep up to good work.

Looks legit to me. The steering will be slightly tricky, but I'm sure you'll make it work. Pretty cool!

Das my boy right there! Exploring the possibilities.

Damn I love that catch phrase!

danielk · 07-14-2012, 02:10 AM

Love.

Stormin2u · 07-14-2012, 07:49 AM

Interesting idea, I'm liking Wraith axles for a Sports build but your idea is totally new. nice work.

mindless · 07-14-2012, 07:53 AM

Very cool i had always though of trying this with a losi moa set up but never put time into it should be awesome when together

4xFord · 07-14-2012, 09:01 AM

Just like we talked about. Awesome! Now I expect a much more refined version in my mailbox when you get back from Vegas.

Hahaha, well if I can get something down to a science, I might offer kits...

This just showed up today, so let the fun begin!

4xFord · 07-14-2012, 11:05 AM

Cool that looks like a fun toy. Also, looks like the motor didn't have to face the other direction after all.

klabeaume · 07-14-2012, 11:07 AM

Sweet mill, I have the same one. A2z sells some nice add ons for sherline products. Can't wait to see what you can make with a mill!

Robotboy · 07-14-2012, 11:07 AM

Innovated as usual Chris!

Can't wait to see the progress!!

Chris_The_Battery_Man · 07-14-2012, 11:08 AM

lol, it did the way I envisioned it. But after talking to a good friend who works at my LHS, I got the right idea. He is brilliant, and I can always go to him if I am in a creative bind, and need some help. Our minds are the same that way, so it's nice having him to fall back on. All it took really was spacing the motor/trans back some. But I am running into problems with the driveline angles already. I will be making a wild chassis soon to fix the issue.

Awesome.

klabeaume · 07-14-2012, 11:13 AM

Are you trying to do one long rear shaft or 2 shafts with a carrier in the chassis? This would allow you to have more ground clearance and you be able to have a better drive line angle. But I am not sure what it would do about torque twist...
