Its called necessity!

Also, Here is a sneak peek into project "Super Steer."
I wedged the Wheelchair in the Lazyboy and it was STILL able to turn. It ended up moving the entire truck to turn the front wheels!

I am addicted to the power, but the speed is killin me.

Its a vent motor for the dual climate zones on a 2001 grand cherokee I parted out.

Still not sure on the plastic gears... stripped one out just to see and it took insane force before it did. I have a spare set but we will find out...

The motor in it sucked at even 12 volts so I did a little somethin I learned messing with low gearing radio shack toys

Two 645 motors.

Check it out!

Good work man!
I had to man, there are only 2 teeth that contact each other on the maxx second gear. A 3025 would eat that plastic gear EVERY time a load came up I am willing to bet.

Screw those people who make shotty parts for mucho denaro!!!
I didn't like how they built the slop back into the maxx gearing.

I assembled the tranny, put some lucas oil stabilizer, sealed the case and ran it. Very nice operation!

Here are the pics of the finnished unit!


Forgot I sheered the pin on the inputgear before last comp. Repiinned it and now the hole in the shaft has wore so the gear is loose.

So I am going to throw one of those in it before I put it back in the beast.

The Super Steering uses the gear that I have not been able to strip. The second gear from the motor. (The one that strips that center one.)

Now, for these 1/4" links...

I'm going to have to call up and place an order with Holmes soon!
I need a 3025 before moab!

Default Output gear - E brake DONE!

666 stopped over and let me barrow his 3013-16 for testing!


We put 14.4v to it and I was glad to see some speed out of it with a 22 tooth pinion, but I think the 3025 is the one for me.

The 3013 was alot more powerful then the titan @ 14.4v but didn't have the low end grunt to crawl with the 22 tooth.

We tried a 14 tooth pinion and it was alot better for crawling but the Wheel speed was gone.

It was good to see the 985kv was not as slow as I had thought it would be.

Since it is the same Kv rating of the 3025, noload wheel speed should be the same.

Here are some pics of the ULTIMATE EMAXX TRANNY: The Patlas 400

I had to stop by and check and see this HANDMADE gear! And to see if my hyperion could break it! The tranny itself is a well thought out design. Now it is just about bomb proof!

Everyone, including me, goes out and buys all the parts to make a crawler to fit them best, not this guy, he goes all out and BUILDS the sh!t himself!

Sure it is maxx based but everything about this thing is handbuilt!

Good job man!!

The 'Chair has to be one of the coolest rigs I've seen, just something about the build it yourself attitude that Pat has. Pretty impressive I'm still waiting to see the finished monster links...I see the ends in those pictures

And thats why it's so damn cool This hobby wouldn't exist if guys like Pat didn't see a need, and set out to build their vision....

Props to D for supporting all this silly stuff, that deserves an honorable mention, TOO.

Default Brushless gear ratio's

Found the Second gear ratio, did some figuring...

When I tested 666's 3013-16, we first ran it with the 22 tooth at 105.14 Crawl ratio.

Wheel speed was kick a$$ but the crawlability sucked. It was too much load for the 3013.

Then we put a 14 tooth on, Running 165.22 crawlratio, and the wheel speed was gone but it crawled much better.


I think I have the gearing figured for the 3025, but real world may prove otherwise.


Also, The 'Chair got a new toy last night!

That should be interesting...I'm not sure I could even guess what you made to lift that pig

Hope the spools big enough to help with those 40 foot drops
