Project Full Throttle super Comp Crawler with mp3 Stereo

[christoleher]

THOSE ARE BEEEEFFFFYYY. nice

[pariah]

Wow those rod ends are awesome but man are they huge! Let us know how they work out for ya. Definetly interested if they hold up well. I had a similar idea as far as links and rod ends go and was thinking of using 1/4in solid steel links then drilling and tapping them out but not sure how easy it would be and then there's the weight issue of them. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Keep up the good work

Thanks pariah

the thermo plastic rod ends are like 225 ftlbs rated, and they are so light you can't tell you are holding them if your eyes are closed

I'm looking for a Good reliable tranny hopefully 2 speed.
Cause people are saying the RC4wd tranny 2speed is "set for destruction if I use it on my super and a Brushless motor .

So far no luck, I may building my own Darn Tranny !
Using a MIP tranns with 44 Spur to a ****er box in a GD600 to a drive shaft to a reduction unit to the Motor

emaxx tranny..

[toy4crawlin]

Quote" emaxx tranyy"

Yea but it's so freakin Big !

Got a Great Idea :-P
I may do this setup and build a shifting case to use a Servo to engage the GD600 , basically engage a 2nd Reduction Unit
This tranny size is very small and the shape is very simaliar to the Real Thing
It also has BRASS Gears ! Don't see them breakin LOL
the belly of the tranns (out put shafts) will sit on pan along with all the motor etc.

ALSO this tranny allows the front wheels to turn even if the Rear wheels get stuck and stop, and Visa Versa. Unlike most trannys the slipper Slips and NO power goes to any Wheels

1st Gear reduction unit is a 4:1.
it came from my rc 4x4 truck puller :-P
I don't know what the GD600 is though?

But together that would be insane CrawL

I need to build an Amp to drive the speakers, should be pretty simple, only a few Capacitors, resistors, etc.

You could gut out those Spinny spinners RC trucks at Toy r us and use the sounds system out of those

[Stick King]

that is just sinister. good job man!

[Roketcooper]

This build makes me feel hot and steamy.

[dieselfuel]

wow this is my 2nd or 3rd time in the maxx forum since i joined, but this thing is worth watching! holy **** man!

[4-linkedWK]

that is going to be one nice rig!!!

[toy4crawlin]

Some work last night

Mocked up a Top Tube frame for the New Super


I did a quick upgrade to my rear servo

High pressure line STYLE :-P

I used Tamiya color, Anodize from my LHS
3/16 Aluminum tube then tamiya anodize , used that on the servo end
Braiding is from HSC halted.com for the 1/8 Braided tubing .50 cents a foot
Servo plug end is just shrink tubing
I might cover the braiding in Clear shrink tube to simulate the new 1:1 brake line.


I still have my first maxx , So that's what the pictures are

Look into the T/E Maxx Jaws sticker sheet. It's fuel door sticker looks kind of like a fuel cell filler and it gives you a couple choices too. It's worth a look I think.

[Trikster]

Very cool rig man, I really like it. I cannot wait to see the finished product.

[toy4crawlin]

thanks Trikster

little progress here,
have all my 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-32 and so on HEX Head screws to keep the bolts Scale looking

Still Undecided on Tranny, the RC4wd tranny in the way of the seat and Not feeling good on strength

quicky mock up

I don't know if you ever came up with a way of attaching the axle tube to the diff but I wash thinking of doing the same thing but never got around to building it. This was my idea, use 2 large washers and weld the axle tubes to them. Then sandwich the diff between the washers with bolts or large machine screws. this would allow you to get the diffs apart if needed and you could rotate the diff to get that perfect pinion angle

Yea that's the common way, I'm actually doing that to my maxx Right now LOL , I don't care much about it, it's just something to play with while I'm building my Real crawler
For my New Super I like different/ innovative and (Clean)

so I have not finalized on it yet. still using my custom maxx as a practice template as I continue to research, find parts and work on the Design.

thanks

FinishLine Rc Hooked me UP!

Real Delrin Links
I was thinkin of using Stainless but I'm worried about weight, besides the Chassis will 1/4 stainless and there will be so much detail that the Delrin should look good

[iwantoffroad]

[sssundog31]
