Moto's bomber

I could see myself buying this...If it wasn’t 3D printed, maybe in another material, aluminum for instance, or plastic.

This is the best shapeways has to offer. It is using their new fusion printers. The quality looks great to me. I will have no fears driving the wheels off of this setup.

I had to sell a bunch of stuff to get it. I figure it's better to have a few great rigs than several ok ones.

At the risk of what’s coming next....Is it in yet?

I truly wish it were. Been very busy. It will likely be late this coming weekend.

Finally something worth updating here. Been waiting forever for parts and changes and ideas. So I ended up changing the output shaft for a longer one with a lightned mount. The shaft mounts to the gear with much heavier 3mm hardware.

I also upgraded to HR lightened hard gears. I didn't stop there. I also searched to find the lightest slipper I could find. I settled on the avid racing triad evo. I had to file the pressure plates and drill out the spur gears to get them to fit the 5 mm shaft. I'm running 48p gears now. My finished skid now sits at 190gr. It started out over 230gr before the changes.

I picked up a pair of HH puller 500 motors on the cheap. One will be going in this bomber. It weighs only 135gr. The tekin fxr will be providing the current to feed the beastly motor.

Here is a direct comparison to a stock skid. The weight savings is tremendous. 141gr savings to be exact. You will notice in the pictures the difference in the elevation of the motor mounts. I found out that the standard links will not work. Gotta figure this out. I want to run titanium links to save weight. I think I will buy rods from vanquish and bend them to my liking. Undecided right now.

Any updates?

4 upper link plates with more tuning ability
5 lower link mounting angled to match the link angle.
5 most likely flat skid profile underneath

Looks pretty good to me.

Not actually a DLUX motor plate. Designed by High Altitude performance and cut by Y-town

And yes, very much worth the effort. You'll be amazed at what the car can do with proper geometry and set up.

I'm still on my original skid after a couple of 5k races and a ton of training runs. They're surprisingly durable.

Is this skid still a prototype or is it for sale?

[Ltd.yfz]

Their for sale. Get a hold of high altitude performance. I've got one for my bomber.

I'm interested in this for a future upgrade, and I am not on FB. Is this a mostly "bolt in" upgrade? If not, what is required to add to an existing build? Specifically, suspension links and driveshafts. Lastly, is this compatible with a 2-speed and/or dig transmission?

[Voodoobrew]

From what I saw it's not a kit. You get parts from a few places like shapeways. And I don't think it's compatable with dig or 2 speed.

I found the parts that are available on Shapeways. Where can I find the rest? Does anyone have a way besides FB to contact the maker(s)?
