Whadda...... It's my version of the R1 Just never did stock, started with a kit and box of parts.... I'm at 7" articulation, need to fab longer links, but so far so good . http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0f5ee60a4d.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...6489544fd9.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...52bcc485df.jpg |
Whadda...... It looks tall. If you back off the spring tension it'll fully compress the shock travel and get a little more. It'll lower the CoG, too. The driveshaft angles look high also. Any binding? The two tone paint is kinda neat. #CamBrady2017 |
Re: Whadda...... It is tall, but totally flexible without binding. I am totally new on this, not sure how to adjust driveshaft angles, I'm working for more lay down on the shocks |
Re: Whadda...... Back off the nuts so that the springs don't get any slack when the shock is fully extended. Then adjust from there as needed. A low Center of Gravity will crawl a lot better. Both long and short wheelbases have their separate advantages and disadvantages. Mine will nearly go vertical with the heavy wheels. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...64af12ee79.jpg #CamBrady2017 |
Re: Whadda...... I can crawl straight up....BUT then no underdrive or dig..... I'm still messing with springs, I think my rate is too stiff |
Re: Whadda...... Spin them down so the spring isn't slack and the rate will be as low as those springs can go. Any softer and you'll have to get a different set. #CamBrady2017 |
Whadda...... Well first I need to get them laid down more..... Like the back is now! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...bd981ccbff.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c9aca9e08a.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...507580bb6a.jpg |
Whadda...... Wow ! Rain can be good! When it poured out this morning, I went back to the shocks. Just not enough out front...... Went back to the 103mm and moved the mounts ..... Much better ! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b47b7d13ad.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fa41431e4b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...acaadab9f1.jpg |
Whadda...... http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ae1490d6f4.jpg I wanted to see if the suspension was close....Took off the Ruptures and put on the "stock" tires and foams(from my yeti),I did mount them to a real metal beadlock, and I was totally amazed at how well it worked on its maiden crawl |
Re: Whadda...... There ya go. Wheel it and tweak it as you go. #CamBrady2017 |
Re: Whadda...... Too Much fun today......The ruptures rock, and I burned up the waterproof servo....OH Well time for a real one..HiTech Calling |
Re: Whadda...... Damn !!!! Too much fun, this will never be a real crawler but is a gas! So in real crawling spirit, my Bully ll will arrive tomorrow .... |
Re: Whadda...... Yes I have a Bully2 and it blows this R1 away as a pure comp crawler. That said this rig is just plain fun. Gobs of clearance, great sensored Tekin power with my 17.5 turn brushless! Crawled all afternoon until I broke a rear bearing, that holds axle in, home for a new one! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...27276076af.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c77b6fe22a.jpg |
Whadda...... Interesting failure..... The portals use 4 8x5x2.5mm bearings. When the inner race broke, out came rear shaft. No biggie, took the rear carrier off and found 3 failed bearings, 2 inner races and 1 outer holder broke. I replaced all 4 on this corner, with eddies...... Just ordered a sleeve of bearings as all 20 are the same junk races. HANG UP AND DRIVE ! |
Whadda...... Saw the all wheel steering, ordered it and the same upgrades as the front and 2 pairs of cvd front axles I've got to do that, and then a MT body ???? HANG UP AND DRIVE ! |
Re: Whadda...... Ran for a couple of hours ....only issue is lack of turning radius[emoji20][emoji37][emoji1431] Next week WILL solve that issue as rear steer parts will all be here..... I hope the controller also. Still a gas ! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d0830dc6af.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c90362a114.jpg HANG UP AND DRIVE ! |
Re: Whadda...... I've got a Losi Micro crawler I made into a rear steer. I haven't had the time to do it, but if you open one of the servos and move the two outside wires you can leave it as a permanent AWS. #CamBrady2017 |
Re: Whadda...... Picked up a controller that is supposed to work off a third channel 2 way switch..... I will see HANG UP AND DRIVE ! |
Re: Whadda...... Wow what a huge difference with all wheel steer ! I still don't have matched servos, and will get some, but it turns front rear, together, opposite for crab walking.... http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0a34bfd640.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...62d399a434.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0319d71d77.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...7cd338f9b3.jpg HANG UP AND DRIVE ! |
Whadda...... Rear steer is an awesome advantage for crawling. My little rear steer Goat from Fungi is quite capable for its size. Sorry, it doesn't have micro portal axles.... http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...2278caffdb.jpg |
