Re: Building my dad a 5th dimension berg 4 Attachment(s) I didn’t get much done today, but did finish up the front axle. I started by making a servo mount out of 3mm carbon. It is held to the axle with 3 screws and red loctite. Attachment 377316 Attachment 377315 Then I fired up the dremel again and made a battery tray for behind the motor. It will it will use a piece of inner tube for a strap aswell as get covered in velcro. Attachment 377317 I also added steering stops to the axles using a 3mm spacer and button head screw which can be seen in the previous pictures. I figured out that a straight xr10 tie rod is an almost perfect fit with the Dlux knuckles and his proper ackerman arms. I put a slight bend at both ends to bring the tie rod closer to the gearbox and called it good. Attachment 377318 This might be the last update for a couple days. I have a comp this weekend and I need to make some tires and do some maintanence to my personal trucks. |

Oh, by the way...Have you tried the single bend links? If so, how are you liking them? |

Re: Building my dad a 5th dimension berg The brass weight holders are actually supposed to go on the other way, but you can probably get away with running them that way... |
Re: Building my dad a 5th dimension berg Quote:
To add some tech for people who may not know. If you look closely you can see I flipped the knuckles upside down from how Dlux says to put them together so I have more clearance for the loaded dice weight at the bottom. I just learned this trick recently, and while it only works on non 8 deg, it allows for the button head screws to be at the bottom, which fit into the loaded dice weight better |

Re: Building my dad a 5th dimension berg Quote:
I think stubs thought that one up. I set up greengo that way, makes it easier to deal with the brass dice for damned sure. Delrin are no big deal since Erik cuts those correctly. :lol: |

Re: Building my dad a 5th dimension berg 3 Attachment(s) Had some time today to work on it today. Since it’s pretty much impossible to find vanquish ti links anymore I kinda guessed on some lower link length measurements and sent the info to hardcore rc over on facebook. I ended up having to put a bit more bend in the links then I wanted, especially the rears, but I think it should be fine for my dad. The extra clearance might actually help him while he is learning how to pick his lines. I made the uppers myself using 1/8 ti, a hand drill, and a 6-32 die. Attachment 377495 Attachment 377496 I’m not entirely happy with how the rear axle is sitting. I will probably play with the lower link mounts on the axle to get it to sit more to my liking. Incase anyone was wondering about the weight, it is currently sitting at 3.8ish pounds. Only things missing are 2 speed controllers, rx, bec, and battery. I still have steel hardware everywhere but the chassis aswell as a couple of other places to cut weight if I wanted. The loaded dice are still empty, so that’s up to 8 ounces of tungsten that I could potentially add to the knuckles aswell. Attachment 377497 |

Re: Building my dad a 5th dimension berg Nice, glad I could help lol. Axles look very similar to the axles on your Dad's rig. Don Hughes has a chump RT chassis it's Doncrawla's old chassis it had xr axles. If your looking for one. Sent from my SM-J737V using Tapatalk |
