| LOW, Low Sawback...
Well having been inspired by OSRC's Bellydragger, finally made a start on mine.. CMS, because upsidedown axles. Axial SCX10 tranny, gearing is erm, interesting! Going to need s 55turn motor maybe? Plenty of torque then tho I guess? Still a WIP. so excuse rough edges. Skid will be steel, along with the new rails I'll have to plasma out at work. Wheels have changed, and some extra GPM stuff has been fitted... (no pics) Stable, bloody hell is it stable! Cant wait to get this finished and give it a go at the UK G6! 31131175_2062723637279715_3628939879821344768_n by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 31100373_2062723590613053_1448361077854175232_n by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 31087085_2062723700613042_2207574020042260480_n by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 31081538_2062723737279705_6907916603069825024_n by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 31144156_2062723877279691_4564062033774903296_n by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr |

Very cool. Why did you turn the axles upside down? Does the Axial Trans spin the opposite way?

Found it a bit tippy when out with it. This massively lowers the CoG Unsure about the Axial trans rotation TBH but it does fit nicely and is very easy to mount.

Very nice! Love the color. Let me know how it runs, you'll probably finish yours long before I get mine done.

Thank you!! I do seem to be making good progress with this one, my CFX was a slower build than this. But then I also had some very good inspiration for this one! |
