![]() Time for update. After I heard, that the next batch of ESC's will take time to arrive from Holmes Hobbies, I decided to tare apart my own electronics from the bully. This way Sofi could have her first comp in this year. ![]() Old trusted servo from my ex-mini crawler. Futaba BLS157HV. ![]() I also bent the roof panel and now it looks really mean! ![]() Stubbies, micro sidewinders and CC Bec ready to jump on XR-10. Steering in place. And it steers! ![]() ![]() Rear motor attached. Overall look before attaching rest of electronics. ![]() Overall RTR weight is impressive as well! ![]() Electronics are finding their place. Pretty cool this thing. ![]() Electronics are on the place. Even the battery is perfect match for the colours of this thing! ![]() Mutt gives you a decent amount of ground clearance as well. ![]() I have to say, that Michelle did amazing job with the skins. Again! ![]() Then it was time for the comp. The last one in our season 2014. Fence Puzzle! ![]() Sofi did not have a clue, that her rig would be in action already there. It was great to see her face, when she saw the finished product. ![]() ![]() Time to get the party started! ![]() On the line for the course! Nervous? First gate - cleared! The ride looked really good! Going for the difficult gate four. ![]() Rig was working flawless through the comp. Nothing broke and Sofi did few amazing performances! ![]() There was only one thing, which I found out that needs changing. That's the caster angle. In my opinion it had way too much positive caster. But that's about all, that I would change of it so far. ![]() Here video from the second course, where Sofi only took two reverses! She decided not to go for the bonuses, but just go on the finish line. Wise descision. ![]() ![]() Here are the results! ![]() ![]() After the comp, I went to garage to "fix" the only problem it had with the caster angle. One step back. ![]() It still steers pretty well. I think this is going to improve the steering quite a bit at least in Finland. ![]() Now we'll just have to test it, when we have a suitable weather to do that. It's getting colder here day by day. ![]() ![]() We'll continue on working. PICTURES: Arttu Ahtiainen Last edited by Zarizi Tech; 11-10-2014 at 10:35 AM. | |

We have rest of the parts now! ![]() Some batteries for next season... And two Holmes Hobbies 33T 400 Pullers ready for installing. It's gonna be ready soon! ![]() Later, when the new version of HH BR-Minies arrive, Sofi will change to those. For now we are going with Micro Sidewinders. |

i am concerned there might be a little too much weight up front. smurfette has grown (up) quite a bit. |

Finally got myself back to the garage and doin some work. ![]() After checking out all screws and bearings in the axles and chassis, the electric works needed to be started. "Koppensneller's" old electronics will head down into this rig. I gotta clean those wires a bit. And of course the brand new Holmes 400 Pullers. ![]() CF motor guards are also waiting for assembling. Rear motor attached! Daaarn, this rig is just blue'ish symphony! ![]() Everything looked excellent in the axle as well. ![]() Front axle in the place now as well. Also added a Rowdy Racing electric mount for ECS's and BEC. Everything went on flawlessy! ![]() I removed the cases of Sanwa receiver and put the BEC into a same cute package with ESC's. ![]() Final stretch still to go! Have to clean up the wires before installing the whole thing in the rig. Slooooooowly, but steadily! ![]() |

Another day at garage. ![]() Time to make them wires longer and clean them up. Carbon fiber motor guards on the place protecting them Pullers. ![]() Looks awesome! ![]() This build has been a really easy with no drama. Simply enjoyable tuning. ![]() Still trying to make them colors match! ![]() God I hate soldering.... ![]() Ready for testing! ![]() Didn't smell any smoke in the test, but also realized that the TX is not in the setup. Gonna do the testdrive later then. I think I got them there quite nicely. ESC's and BEC are now on the Rowdy Racing electronic mount and RX is in the chassis. ![]() Suspension in normal driving situation. Front dig on. Suspension all the way down. The ESC package isn't touching the hood. I made it!! ![]() ![]() Gotta say I'm proud of my work today. ![]() ![]() |

Why do you cut and solder all of those connections? Why not pick up some crimpers and the terminals to make it much easier and cleaner? http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...ools/crimp_ec/ http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...tors/pt1in_ft/ Last edited by ittybitty; 12-18-2014 at 03:28 PM. |
