crawl rookie · 10-07-2007, 04:57 AM

Great thinking on the tranny

But why use the wheelie king gears, i hear it wears prerty fast (clicking gear)

The Real Dogman · 10-07-2007, 09:06 AM

I am eliminating the "clicker" Clutch. 3 Gear Tranny Style!!

balang_479 · 10-07-2007, 10:47 AM

people have had problems mounting a Hustler on a WK,, hope yours works out ok.

The Real Dogman · 10-07-2007, 10:57 AM

Mine will be Scratch Built Around the Wheely King to look similar to the Hustler with acouple major differences.

What were the problems??

Erin · 10-07-2007, 11:48 AM

I was wondering when you were gonna get started on this one. I say droop it, no sense having 2 that work the same. Tranny looks good also.

joemomma95 · 10-07-2007, 08:23 PM

Nice ideas Lee

, look foward to crawling with you guys again sometime soon. As far as the droop idea, I agree, I've got mine setup droop right now and I'm liking the difference, there's ups and downs to both droop and sprung but you can just adjust your driving to suit....

The Real Dogman · 10-07-2007, 10:02 PM

Thanx guys!! here is a quick update:

Think I have the tranny Finalized for the CNC(Whew This 3D solids in AutoCAD is fun!) I made sure there was more clearance at the motor to housing for better pinion and spur mesh. You can see the motor plate is ready too. I hope to have these pieces machined this week. I have to get a 3/8" Sheet of Delrin for the case. What you guys think??

Flyin Hawaiian · 10-07-2007, 10:17 PM

I think its going to be sick.
going to have to build mine next. lol
got to get together and do some crawling

j2-tt wheely king almost done
mfm tlt 1.9er
torsion stick tlt
coming soon The scorpion

I love brushless

Erin · 10-08-2007, 07:44 AM

Hey Grimm, keep the 27th open, going to try and get everyone together for a run.

Dog, those should work out very nice, is the motor plate you showed me at the comp the same one, or did you change it around alittle?

The Real Dogman · 10-08-2007, 08:48 AM

Erin, everything has changed including the material, the plate will be 1/8" aluminum you saw .064" I'm hoping to get it machined(the plate and case) by Friday, maybe a sneak peak this weekend

crawl rookie · 10-08-2007, 10:35 AM

genious!

I'm a student mechanical engeneer and building custom tranny for my txt,
can you please send me some autocad files of it so i can i can mod it for my own use?:-D

Did you see if the motor would fit with a realy small pinion? and a big spur?
That realy impartant i think

Good luck!

The Real Dogman · 10-09-2007, 07:04 AM

Crawl rookie, Yes I did in fact completely revised the case and plate just to be sure everything was perfect. I just revised the plate purely for looks. I think it looks much better..
I uploaded the second picture to show you were I clearanced the case for better pinion to spur mesh, Red Arrow.

The Real Dogman · 10-09-2007, 08:37 PM

Well I got the tool paths applied to tranny case today and tomorrow I will generate the code. The local Acetal Fairy did not have any 1/2" sheet in Stock so an order to McMaster Carr will have to be placed and hope it gets here quickly.(before the weekend maybe)
I will keep ya posted!!

Doodoob · 10-10-2007, 12:51 AM

That tranny is gonna be sweet! If it works out like it should.............you should produce a few, get a star and sell them! Hint, hint. I'd try one.

The Real Dogman · 10-14-2007, 05:06 PM

After a long Saturday of the wife annoying me(she needs a new hobby) I tore down the stretched WK Axles and fabbed up new Delrin Links and created some axle link mounts for the rear axles. Those took a long time but I think they turned out good. those of you in the know might recognize the suspension configuration I plan on running on this tuber. Today I will be fabbing the front link/servo mounts.

Anyway enough chatter on to the pics:

Erin · 10-19-2007, 08:38 AM

Alright, it's been long enough, lets see some tube work!!

The Real Dogman · 10-19-2007, 08:52 AM

Well if the damned delrin fairy crap me a sheet, you will see some, maybe this weekend. Speaking of which Erin you going down Sierra Vista this weekend???

Erin · 10-19-2007, 11:39 AM

I wanted to, but have to clean all my gear from the 4wd trip, so have to wait till next time. I may make a Gates pass run on Sat. I'll let you know.

Flyin Hawaiian · 10-19-2007, 09:27 PM

making some good progress on the tuber,the link mounts are sick and where did you get your delrin from. are we going to make the run on the 27th at gates pass if so i was wondering if you could make me a servo mount like yours for my wheely king then i can go. pleaseeeeeeeeeee
