Alex's berg take I

[Sir Steven]

Hi Alex,

I can't wait to see your chassis on the axles.

I really like the chassis that you have designed.



ps: The comp was great. A good start, but ended up from second to the 4 place.
Hope to see you soon at the comps.

Hi Steven, I was wondering how was it, too bad I wasn't able to come

See you soon









Hacked my Rowdy electronic mount.




Tomorow I'll work on wiring and fitting everything on the plate.

Interesting holes in the cases have you backed them with .015 lexan to keep dirt out?

ohhh idea I guess I am NOT going straight home after work....

I don't have a mill so that's my ghetto mod to remove as much as I can

I'm planning on putting some simple clear tape inside to keep the dirt out.

I only have rare access.. but I have a drill press I am going to pick up some .01 lexan and glue it over holes I will drill this weekend. Thank you for the idea!

[AlexG]

I'll see if I can find some polycarb that thin arround sounds like a better solution as dirt will not stick on it.

This is what rcc is all about, sharing, learning and laughin'




This morning I got a package from Erik with some Ti rod and tinkered my steering.






The draglink is parallel to the servo during all the travel and at full lock parallel to the ground, I had to remove the bump under the servo arm. I use a locknut under the VP arm they act as the perfect bump stop for the HD's









Got my lowers also, front are DLux rockshow link and I'll tweak the rear one to get the right wheelbase but so far it seems that it's almost dead on.

I got some 3/16'' al tubing, 5mm al rod and 5mm carbon tube for upper I'll see witch one will suits my needs once I got my chassis.

It's coming along nicely

Perhaps just run clear tape on the outside of the gear case holes? That'd be the lightest, and the sticky part will face the gears so no dirt to build up.

and will look like crap.... He and i have put some thought into the aesthetics of the rigs. The weight difference between the tape and paper thin poly is micro grams...

My LHS was closed yesterday, but thay have some stuff, may be acrylic or clear pvc. but is about the thickness of a thin transparency sheet or scotch tape

Lol. I didn't say do it all ghetto. One nice big well trimmed glossy piece of clear packing tape on the outside

[jacobflyin]

Try cold lamination sheets, You can get it at any staples or office supply store. It's very sticky, light and strong.

[GEARSCIENCE]

very nice set up man. the steering looks amazing. could you post a few shots from the bottom of the axle? thanks

Still think it would look too ghetto

That steering set up is sick! Angle is rediculous and just looks clean! Links look very good as well. She is coming along Cherry!

[GEARSCIENCE]

The HD's are badass , I gave my motors a quick spin today, at full lock they DONT wooble

Here are two shot of the belly of the front axle













Wiring is done, the unit is slightly bigger than I'll like also I forgot to take my 4s cap with me


549g or 19.4oz





320g or 11.3oz

[GEARSCIENCE]

Added the big ass cap to the mix, here's the weight of the complete front axle, 599g or 21.1oz






Not the cleanest job but it'll work I hope I'll not have clearance issue as my package is a little high.
