1:5 Yota
 
I got a set of rc4wd 1/5 scale yota axles a while back and haven't really done anything to them. I'm going to start this build and just thought I'd post it here. Pardonmynoob will be building the body for this thing and knowing him, I'm sure it will be a Awesome look! I'm planning on the attached CAD of one side for this monster chassis. It's going to be 32" long!!

Going to be using solid Aluminum for this chassis and not the C bar. Here are pics of the axles. These things are huge!! These are posing next to my 1:10 bruiser!

and next to my bully

These are having 8mm drive shafts so I'm still contemplating on what tranny to use. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not planning on going fast with this one but will go trailing with it. "thumbsup"

Brainstain 09-06-2011 11:56 AM

I'd go with an Emaxx or Summit trans. It's gonna have to be big, whatever you use.

Die-Laughing 09-06-2011 03:46 PM

This is gonna be awesome!!

Cordwood 09-06-2011 06:58 PM

What are you gonna use for driveshafts that long? If you can splice enough revo shafts, they'd bolt up to a summit trans and can be drilled out to 8mm for the axle end. I think a two speed summit would be sweet in something this big.

Jeykito 09-06-2011 07:42 PM

Was thinking the same way regarding the drive shafts or, RC4wd does have an 8mm punisher shaft and I can just fit another head for the tranny side. Not sure yet. This is gonna be a very long B****. :shock::ror:

akguanja 09-06-2011 09:30 PM

omg:shock:, cant wait to see this thing and that body!

Gen3_Teg_88 09-07-2011 12:29 AM

finally a large scale build that isnt a willy's :lmao:

i have been waiting to see someone build a truck with these axles.

Jeykito 09-07-2011 04:16 AM

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think I'll follow your route and do it with a summit tranny. Haven't really worked with traxxas tranny's before, will it need another servo for the second gear?

simon170 09-07-2011 07:28 AM

My god! I never knew these axles were out there! I must get some! Good luck with the build.

Scx10guy 09-07-2011 07:50 AM

How to hell can you afford those diffs

toy4crawlin 09-08-2011 01:10 PM

I'll be watching this one!

pardonmyn00b 09-08-2011 01:56 PM

When the time comes I think I'm going to need a bigger workbench for this body:lmao:


And yes, you will need a servo for the transmission to change gears.

ScalerLover 09-08-2011 08:30 PM

Rich you better effin post pictures along the way :shock:

Jeykito 09-08-2011 10:05 PM

Well, I've sent out the CAD for the chassis to be cnc'd out of 10mm aluminum plate:twisted: hope it comes out strong enough for this rig. It'll take about 5 days. Ill update more on the chassis by then."thumbsup"

murdock 09-09-2011 11:27 AM

this should be cool, never seen those axles used before"thumbsup"

2manyprojects 09-10-2011 08:15 PM

Bulldog 09-12-2011 11:59 PM

Subscribed! I can't wait to see what n00b pulls together for you! But I'm betting it's going to be perfect! 8)8)8)

Jeykito 09-13-2011 03:31 AM

:lmao: uh oh Noob!! pressure is on man!! "thumbsup" 2 days till Chassis is done!!:mrgreen:

Spizo43 09-15-2011 06:24 PM

Haha, you have an audience for this one. I can't wait to see this thing finished!

team3six 09-15-2011 06:31 PM

do you ever drive your bully or bruiser?

Jeykito 09-15-2011 08:00 PM

Yota is used a lot, swimmer rig:mrgreen:

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/y...s/bc1d2fc8.jpg

The bully has changed chassis twice, but has never seen outdoor rocks, only what we made in our porch. Its a two hour drive to a decent rock formation and been kinda busy with work. "thumbsup"

Peaker 09-16-2011 07:02 AM

I am serching high and low for a large enuff body here in denmark to fit simmilar axels, witch i will order about 5 miliseconds after i have secured a useable body.

I have found some interesting bodies, but the prize the sellers ask is insane.

I proberly have to take a insane pill 1 day and "just do it" as the Nike comercials said back in the 90ties :mrgreen:

Jeykito 09-16-2011 07:14 AM

Tell me about it. This was what I was going to use,but decided against it.

Jeykito 09-19-2011 09:27 PM

Hey man, been travelling the last couple of days. Ill be back this weekend and update once i get back to building..:twisted:

Jeykito 09-20-2011 08:31 AM

Opened up the axles last weekend. They weren't locked so I decided to try and see if I could just jam it up with metal application epoxy. Here are some pics.

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/y...3/2af220f2.jpg

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/y...3/db86828d.jpg

Screwed two smaller screws into the smaller gears to stop them from turning then added the epoxy.

Also got the servo for this rig. I laughed when I saw it's size. I keep on forgetting how big this is going to be.

sitting next to a normal servo.

Going to pick up the chassis when I get back this weekend. Hope they made it right.

Jeykito 09-20-2011 08:39 AM

I forgot, this is going under the hood. I just hope it doesn't fall apart while trailing. :lmao: I put it together last week as well. :mrgreen:

jetdog racing 09-24-2011 03:05 PM

Looks good bud but the big block looks a little to small compared to the axles maybe you could make a motor an stick you electric motor in that or go for an rc4wd fracture v8 in it
