Thanks Guys

My Fiancee and I just bought Our first home and I'm working to Empty/Organize my New Garage and also we have been busy re landscaping.

But I hope to find time this week and surely next weekend

ESC box looks great, almost factory. Keep up the good work.

nice

love the build man.

i need to know exactly where you got those speakers! i wanting to do a smiler thing but with the fm tuner on my mp3.

a buddy gave them to me Yeaaars ago. I plugged them into my ipod but no sound :-( so either they are bad or I need a larger amp to run them
the Altec lansing portable speakers are pretty amazing, speakers are about 1"1/4 1100mah. I might them instead so I have the latest technology best sound "thumbsup"

This crawler looks sick!!! How many hours are you into building it yet?

Thanks "thumbsup"
not sure on hours
I have two builds going on and this Super buggy I'm aquiring parts , but the axle maybe has 3 hrs on it.

My other maxx/revo axle (pic below) is about 5 hrs


Saturday I cut up and Flipped my RC4WD Tranny,
This puts the motor behind seat but drive shafts on right side where I will hide it with a shift console and custom B&M like shifter

Can you see the 3 three things I changed ?

First Picture is before Shot (stock)


I have decided to Build A Pre Chassis before I build my Nice Chassis
here's it it so far

First pic is Stock RC4wd tranny
[second is after

cage build
4 link trianglelated /\ \/
upper links are parallel ----

wheel base about 18.5
width outside 14.5

I know this is old but, what are those things in the foam.

3/8 vinyl hose glued in a loop with sling shot bb's , for low roll weight

You got a PM.


Those gears aren't helical;-)


Nice looking build so far. Theres allot of cool ideas going into this. I like it.

I tried running 1/4" steel heim joints for links on my super sometime back in 2004. Theres a thread that SR5Dave started with TONS of options in that area. IMHO,they are just to heavy. Running the delrin links though,will help overcome the weight of the big heims. I used thinwall C1018 tubing for mine.



The rear most tranny plate was flipped.

The tranny plate that the motor mounts to was trimmed to fit.

The tranny case was swapped for an R2 case

NOPE

No other parts were used, but that coul dbe done, I just have a opening in the bottom that I will seal up with aluminum plate and silicon sealant.

The first picture is of a straight cut gear set. You'll see the difference in the second picture. Yours(the thrird picture)are straight cut.8) Nothing wrong with that,they are still a steel ring and pinion and when shimmed up right,they'll be really strong. I just didn't want false info floating around"thumbsup"

Those are really nice,
Where do you get them?


Got it Rolling Thanks giving morning for the kids to play with, including me:-P
Drove it from dining room to sliding door, drove up window and slowly back down, then drove it to back porch about 15 feet total, then it BROKE ! Not even 3 MINUTES !
Damm tranny :twisted:
pulled the sucker apart the gear shaft that has 2 different small gears on it one of them is ? pressed splined on so it Stripped.

Nothing Like Building like crazy so you can share with your nephew only to have a Bran new part break without even crawling, then NO way to Fix it on this beautifull 4 day weekend, Sucks :-(

Looks like these 2 speeds trannies are much weaker than a regular R2

Keep it going!

Check out Radioshack for some speakers:

iSymphony T-Speaker for iPod® (Black)
$19.99

Saw them in radio shack they are smaller than the spec's say.

Brockgrimes

those speakers sound just like they look, puney :-(

I bought Altec Lansing 4 speakers $25. 4 WATTS !

Wish I could Have 18 Volts to Run JBL's !!


ANYBODY No how to step up 10 volts to 18 without a big transformer ???

RC4WD says they will send me another tranny, I was hoping to drive to them since they are 5 miles away but they said NO

but it's just going to break again so I'm slappin in a MIP tranny

Why not use your E-maxx tranny?
if you will lay it down and mod the motor plate for 1 motor it will fit just fine i'd guess;-)

What material is the tube chassis?
Looks great!
