Autumn Project Havent had much time to work on this truck as I have been 1:1 competeing, but now I should have some time in the fall to stitch it all together. Custom lightweight chassis w/ ToyotaDon made aluminum skid/bucket 13" Wheelbase. 2.5" ground clearance (it may lower when drivetrain is installed) UNGLEWD LandRover body (Lexan/Styrene enforced). I have yet to molest this one, but I will :-P 45T Integy Motor Tekin FXR ESC WK Tranny w/ clock plate 8.4 Volt 4200mah SMC battery (woot woot!) WK Tranny w/ 96-15 Spur-Pinion WK Diffs w/ Axial lockers Hitec 645 Steering servo w/ steel arms 8/32 links w/ large revo ends Losi Claws w/ Gunmetal Beadlocks (not in pictures) *sorry for the crappy pics* http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1952Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1952Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1953Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1954Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1952Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1953Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1953Medium.jpg My goal is not to have an all out crazy wheeler, but enough umph on a tight budget to dangle with some of the locals.

Worked on it for a few hours last night. Got the driveshafts figured out and installed, mounted the ESC and reciever. Ran a bit of the wiring. Figured out a diff rotation issue that made articulation night and day.

Already chopping up the body, need to wire in batteries and run the wire from esc to motor ;-) Should have it done VERY soon! 8) |
Well the landy body seemed to big and requires alot of modifications, threw the stock WK body on (bob'd the rear already, just need to take some pics). So I got the thing together and tested it out. Seems to work great, need to get my new battery pack (Pictures are with the wifey's pack).

what if you moved the links in more and tighten the wheelbase a bit. then you might be able to run the rover. looking good keep us posted. |
Bob'd the rear and painted it http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1719Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1720Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1721Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1724Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1722Medium.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1723Medium.jpg Gonna change up the batt situation. Gonna go with 3S 11.1v lipo "thumbsup" |
what u use for the links |
8-32 threaded rod w/ 1/4 brakeline (i believe) to sleeve it. Large Revo ends. I think i may change the uppers to 4-40 seeing as they are just pulling and pushing force, not side to side. Saves a bit of weight. |
Time to update this thread/build. I have made some adjustments, went with the following changes: Steering servo changed to a HS-5955TG "thumbsup" Put it on 3S (20C, 40 Burst) 1350mah battery Reinforced the plastic driveshafts with metal pins weighted the front diff with 2oz and 1oz in each tire Panther memory foams Bent the rear links to turn pinion up Shortened the front lowers to turn the pinion up New delrin bent steering tie rod (more steering) HD Axial lockers HeyOK No Brainer BEC This thing is nuts now and the tranny is holding up. I thought I nuked it a while back but apparently something else was messed up and I got it working yesterday :mrgreen: |

no, keep ad much strength as you can. |
That was when I was on non-lipo batteries, lol. Now that im on 3S, keepin the beefy stuff. "thumbsup" Last night launched it up a face and it came down and cracked one of my revo joints in half. :twisted: My buddy Kraqa has been working on a comp chasis for me to try out, so I will be switching over to that hopefully within the next little bit 8) |
