Any more progress?

Aussie Nerd · 03-07-2011, 10:11 PM

No, still waiting on axles and chassis before I can get things really moving. I think it will still be a good month before she's a runner.

How do u like those puller motors? I have a set of Alu fighters on order also and have some br00d 35 turn motors and have been debating on the puller motors purely for size only. Is that why u went with those or another reason. Please help just can't make up my mind

Aussie Nerd · 03-07-2011, 10:59 PM

No idea yet, I don't have any other rig to run them in as I somehow think they won't have the guts for a super

I just thought I'd try them to be different. The size and the price was just a plus. You may as well use your br00ds since you have them, but hey it's up to you.

That looks like a nice alternative to stacking hubs. Nice work.

Aussie Nerd · 03-16-2011, 10:23 PM

Thanks

The best part is it is still cheaper than buying wideners or 2 sets of hubs and you can actually fit a full size 8mm socket in them for 5mm shafts.

Thanks to Mr D lux and about $20 on ebay it's now time to see if my little lathe can handle Ti

Made a few amendments to my original knuckle design, and came up with this. Major advantage of extra wide hubs is I can have a fairly similar amount of weight to my old design, except all below the axle centre. As pictured, according to inventor, is about 190g. So up to 380g all up.

phllint · 04-01-2011, 07:49 AM

Would u be willing to make those for others? I am still waiting on Ti fighters as well and really like your design. I am currently looking for wideners for my daughters ax10 with mip axles and can't find any. Yours look like they would work. Please let me know whenever you can

Aussie Nerd · 04-01-2011, 07:19 PM

For the hubs speak to Gerame at Eritex Inc, he will be making my hubs when he finish's moving shop. I'm getting them made for both my eritex and VP wheels. As for the weights, it's just not feasible for me for a number of reasons. 1. $100 vendor star 2. My last set took quite a long time to make and these will be no different 3. shipping prices from Aus to US are absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks for your interest though

Got my Ti rod and die holder today. Now I'm just waiting on the die. Oh and the rest of the rig

Don't worry, I am putting them to good use on the berg.

And the shipping price was worth it!

Nice collection of parts you got going there. I do like the new knuckle weight design as well. Can't wait to see that axle bling.

Aussie Nerd · 04-07-2011, 08:21 PM

Glad their working well for you!

As soon as I get the axles and chassis, chips will start to fly, very expensive chips

So is this thing going to be ready for June 19?

Aussie Nerd · 04-07-2011, 08:36 PM

Hmm I might have to start dropping hints with the fun police now if I want to go
