Yeti XL Solid Front Axle by Helios RC Good Morning Ladies and Gents, We've been working on this for a little now and have gotten crazy busy (a good thing). It started day 1 when the XL came out and we've finished what we consider to be a production ready version. These are 3d printed via selective laser sintering of nylon plastic. They can be done in solid nylon or glass filled for extra stiffness. They are as strong as injection molded parts and extremely durable. A kit will be available consisting of: 1. Center truss - custom designed 2. Servo mount - works with custom truss 3. Left and right custom C-hubs Everything else swaps over from the old axle. There are a few tricks you need to do, but we'll get to those later. For now, here's a few pics. |

Re: Yeti XL Solid Front Axle by Helios RC Helios I appreciate your "outside the box thinking" and ingenuity right on!"thumbsup" Now I guess for my question or request. It looks like you have a firm grasp on 3D printing. Do you think you would be able to design a rear axle lock out that would accept a larger od bearing for increased durability also would you be able to increased the size of the bearings in the front knuckle? http://www.axialracing.com/assets/pr...jpg?1415829469 http://www.abellhobby.com/v/vspfiles.../AX31017-2.jpg http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server10...20.120.jpg?c=2 8 x 22 x 7mm for the rear lockout just my $.02 Looks killer right now cant wait to see more; any thoughts on these options would be great. |
Re: Yeti XL Solid Front Axle by Helios RC Whaaaaaaaat :shock:. I do remember seeing you inheriting the project from that person that said they didn't have time but it's awesome to see the progress! |

So, long story short, we can certainly get to it. Just need to finish the minor tweaks to the current design then we can tweak the back. |

A few minor tweaks and they will be ready to go. They will come in white nylon and can be died with RIT die or even Koolaid (it works, believe me). |

Re: Yeti XL Solid Front Axle by Helios RC Anyway to get these made out of aluminum? |
Re: Yeti XL Solid Front Axle by Helios RC Quote:
The plan is to offer aluminum ones in the future. The plan will be more than likely to do 25 sets in aluminum as a limited edition. |
Re: Yeti XL Solid Front Axle by Helios RC How is this going to mount up to the front of the frame? Im green to this solid axle RC truck stuff sorry... |
