Something along those lines seemed like the next logical step.  |

Been brainstorming with some guys and found this down on the bottom shelf... Good enough to get some packaging ideas if nothing else. It's out of a first gen Losi 8t.  |

| Re: rob_b's SMW U4 Axial Wraith - Trainwreck
First attempt at a "One and Done'ish" trailing arm. I thought I was being conservative enough with the speeds and feeds but it was still chatter city. Some more tweaking is required. All though once its proven out I'll probably do them out of aluminum anyways. Thinking I can make a little fixture to sand the radiuses on the ends.   Something like this... Uses two Axial pivot bushings at the axle end and has the pivot groove cut for a revo ball at the other.  |

The only way that part is leaving the shop is in the trash can!

#2 still isn't up to snuff but it's way better! I'm thinking 7075 wouldn't have these wet noodle issues that I'm fighting with the Acetal. Anyone need 15' of 3/4" rod? Lol  |

Damn Can't a guy take the easy way out around here?Just ordered 6' of 3/4" 7075-T651 from Amazon at $8.31 a foot. Prime and one click ordering is a dangerous but oh so easy combination. Probably better upgrade my endmill selection too...edited for a new page Last edited by rob_b; 05-26-2015 at 11:48 AM. | ||
