[saniel68]

[chafee]

that is awesome..... i tried to get my rc buddies to do formula trucks and they cried about it

[heminutt]

nice foff . mite make one do you know if any one has made one out of a clodbuster.

[heminutt]

has any one made a foff from a clod

[cyberdog]

Got the 20T pinion( had 15 before but wasnt too happy with the speed) and 4 90mm shocks for the foff now.Put on soft springs and 20wt oil and seems to be a perfect combination.



Might go out for a testdrive today if it get abit warmer outside since its -20 C atm.

[cyberdog]

Made a short vid of it but still not happy with the speed of it so might have to order another transmission for it

The car went 2wd in the end cause i had forgotten to loctite a pin in the front driveshafts

It is very easy to use Clod axles
Get a set of 14mm wheel adaptors, a set of
Pro-Line maxx paddle tires
and a Jeep body
In Finland they also use Kyosho dual force axles
(it´s the 2nd foff car in this video)

Made some more work today. Made front and hood from 2mm aluminium. Added 4 3mm red leds in rear ( normal + brake function) and 2 10mm white leds( half strength and full strength when throttle).
Will add 2 more red leds in the back + 2 white leds for reverse.

Havent got any pics atm but shoot a short vid showing todays work. The vid was shot after a 20 min run in 5cm powdersnow ...

And here is a vid with the leds in action. Not much more

Straight axle kit to the rear
Hardened driveshafts and difflocks
2 2800mah 11.1v 30 Lipos ( connected paralell so i will have 5600mah 30C )
Spare Traxxas Half Shafts
Pinions

Also i modifyed the Spektrum transmitter so i have a 3way toggle switch for the 3rd chan. The original A button is still functional.

How did you do this? I am wanting to do the same thing, but don't want to trash a $$$ radio.

[cyberdog]

Did as in This thread

[cyberdog]

Since i am not 100% happy with the wheelspeed with the 5000kv motor i deicided to get a 5700kv one( Dynamite C4 5700kv). Hopefully the Sidewinder will hold up to 3s on that motor or else i will use the Mamba Monster i have ordered for my 6x6 in this one

[SatisTraction]

you made it look easy in this post. nice job.

can you post up some pics of the new hood?

[flatfender]

about a year ago I put an 11x2 and a set of Panther paddles on my TLT, it was a blast to drive.
starting at a standstill at the bottom of any hill I pointed it at, it would get air coming off the top.

So...are you actually powering the LEDs off of the wires going to the motor in order to get progressively higher voltage?

[cyberdog]

No i power it through a 3 Racing light unit. Works really well.

Also i had a minor misshap a few days ago. Lost some teeth on the gears in the transmission Seems to be sold out at rc4wd so trying to find them elsewhere.
