"Purivol" 2.2

[antikas]

Axles are built around Axial transmissions and knuckles, using dogbones with suitable length. The idea is ofcourse stolen from SVEN's build (Custom 2.2 axles using Axial transmissions). From his troubles I learned that the only(?) way to make this work is to use slippers for the transmission.

Specs are:
2x quark 33a universal ESC
2x BM16 motor
3s lipo

In the picture I am still running sidewinder esc's, but that didn't work out with the 25:1 gearing so I had to change to quarks. I have also changed the body to Grappler because the C10 was deemed illegal under the local rules.

I know they have nothing on the Berg axles, but I still enjoy running them

Interesting idea with the axles
...Got any more pics of how you did the axles??

[jbrentd]

Looks like the shaft angle from tranny to wheel is much better on yours. How much clearance do you have under the axles? Got any more pics?

[Calderwood]

in your local rules what deems the body illegal?

[antikas]

Front:

Back:

Side:

Knuckle mount:


Under axle clearance is 55mm (a bit over 2").
C10 had to go because our rules say that the body must be 1:10 scale or bigger. And the grappler looks better too

And yes I know the chassis looks fragile. It is my third attempt and atleast now I went from too little flex to too much. Which works better for me. But I will try again when I get my hands on some suitable material.

Now that is an interesting design!

So your flex comes from the backbone twisting?

Yes. I am too lazy to mess around with links and shock placement

Nice, job of thinking out of the box, very creative. Kind of like a torsion spring!

Nothing really original here. Just watched my axial spare parts for too long and put some great ideas seen on this forum to use.

[Georgerm]

very interesing design

[danielk]

okay, awesome truck, but i have to address the people thinking you have created something different. PEOPLE, LOOK UP A PIMP CANE CHASSIS!

[dieselfuel]

um, the C10 body is perfectly legal. cool idea though.

But the point is that you made it, with your own hands. It's a very interesting idea, I like it a lot, amusing use of Axial parts and very well put together. Nice work!

Aye, the torsion bar chassis design is a common one on MOAs, especially in Super class rigs. The funniest one I saw used plastic wiring conduit as a back bone, it was a bit *too* flexible though
