and i have to think about a swaybar in the rear. the massive overdirve gives some rolling in sidehills

i also think about to use a fixed capra frontaxle in the rear with some toe out for better cornering

corefire · 10-22-2019, 02:49 PM

good weight now. so i can finish under 3k

corefire · 10-22-2019, 02:51 PM

windshield because rulse of the C3 CISE

corefire · 10-22-2019, 02:56 PM

rules also no visible electronics and a must of interior and driver. so i build in the batterietray on the left side to place the akku beside the tranny without issues

corefire · 10-22-2019, 02:57 PM

tummy tucking!

corefire · 10-22-2019, 02:59 PM

happy about the new savöx monster servo.
50k power and 0.13ms fast. i will use it at 7.4V together with the 20k winchservo on a 10A

I'm liking this rig - re-worked to fit a completely different rule book!

Lots of creativity...

The traditional transmission is very likeable - proven Rock Crawler STRONG.

racing in central europe is much different from usa. our courses are very very slow crawl addicted with a little bit more winching than driving. lol.

here is my old car. a 6.3 lbs. cfk rig on a master V3 frame with twin hammers shell. the frontaxle weights 2.2lbs

yes.

the capra tranny is to fast. i have to slow down. i also need the 48dp sharper resolution for driving like my old car: https://youtu.be/yC-OwC4wGPQ

We are working out the option to lower overall gear ratio working on an aluminium transmission housing for the New Capra Transmission.

Puzzled:

Why would you add mass to the steering knuckles then worry that the suspension links are too heavy? Both items contribute to unsprung mass so would aid tyre adhesion.

CG ..... increase the weight below the axle center, decrease the weight above the axle center.

Because the location of the weight matters.

corefire · 10-23-2019, 10:10 AM

the overdrive with the ax10 diff was to heavy.

so i went to a SSD diamond housing with steelpipes, yeah racing c-hubs, SSD portals 16/14, DC diff and SSD steel spool, TFL servo mount.

first i tryed axial rr10 linkmounts to mount the dampers on the axle. fitting well but makes the car in the front to high. then i took samix brass ar44 linkmounts

corefire · 10-23-2019, 10:55 AM

full mounted axle weights now 450gr.
with better wheels i can add 150gr knuckleweights per side more than now.

i used old titanium links for steering, there is much to improve

corefire · 10-23-2019, 11:07 AM

SSD portals are switchable from over to underdrive

i took the underdrive with 14/16 this is a ratio of 1.14:1*

the capra portal have 12/23 this is a ratio of 1.92:1

1.14 × 100 / 1.92 = 59.4% overdrive

mewalsh100 · 10-23-2019, 11:22 AM

A lot of work, and pretty darn cool.

That said, with what's left of the original Capra, you may as well have started from scratch!

corefire · 10-23-2019, 01:50 PM

with the rest is can start a second capra for the wifey :-)

Sneetches · 10-23-2019, 02:07 PM

I enjoy seeing the large amount of parts thrown at it to see what fits
