Oh sweet! That picture made my day, Barry. I cannot wait to receive the parts

All of these ideas are awesome.

The lockouts made my wallet mysteriously fly out of my pocket...

Thanks guys

[ClassiCutCustoms]

I am just about finished...... Will do another cab piece and I will get them headed your way. I have sent you an email.....

[Dravpnir]

Nothing much happens at the moment, I am mostly waiting for parts to be made. Hopefully the chassis from Barry will be here next week. Really excited to receive it

When chassis is on its way I have started to look at the "weak" transmission box. After checking around what was available from vendors here on rcc I took a closer look at NCD's transmission box. It is the narrowest option I have found and the front part fits between the lower chassis plates on the Mini Pitbull chassis
It might even be possible to use the original NCD narrow transmission box and a short 540-motor, like a Brood Stubby for some real overpower

So I asked Tomi if I could borrow the transmission box drawings and redesign it a bit to be able to use smaller motors. Tomi was kind and sent me the drawings. I changed the narrow version so one can use motors with 17 mm between the mounting holes.

I decided on 17 mm because I got 3 motors here at home that I want to try with the MRC.


From top to bottom, LRP Fusion Micro 370 High Torque, Xtreme 380X hell motor, LRP Fusion Micro 380 High Torque


Then after talking to BliB today regarding the MRC axles and some over/underdrive options I did end up sending another version of the transmission box to Tomi. It has an extra pair of gears at the front output shaft to allow some overdrive the front axle while using stock gearing in the axle. I wanted to have extra gears on the rear output shaft too, but the motor was in the way...
This version of the gear box requires one to change the direction of one if the axles which can be a bit tricky as there is no holes for the upper link mount on the bottom of the housing. But then I remembered that the Kulak/Exceed axle housings has some mounting holes on the bottom so those would be a really good option.




Really eager to get all the parts and start trying to see if everything will work as nice as I hope

[BliB]

Why do thing get a bit complicated when we talk? ;)

Any how, i really look forward to see all things that's in the pipe mate!

[Ghost]

I volunteer to thrash on them unmercifully
looking good

[BliB]

I told you earlier today, using M3 is to easy! Stop doing things so easy! M2.2 ftw!

Just kidding mate! Sometimes things is just to good to be true!
And i know things might even get better!

Keep it up!

[bullas1022]

Commence the drooling.

[MRCrackhead]

Really awesome.

It's about time someone put M3 mounts together with a knuckle/lockout setup.

So simple it's brilliant.

[winnerone23]

Simply sexy!

It will allow for better drive shaft angle as well, without giving up the chubs bein clocked.

[Hittman]

Damn those things are cute! I don't even like mini crawlers, and those axles alone make me want to build one.. Maybe even multiple

Great work señor, keep it up

YES!!!!

YES!!!


No joking, where do I sign up? I want to be on the waiting list for the first available set.

Ok, I will note that down


On another note, the chassis has just cleared customs here in Sweden

Uggghhh.. Why don't ya just twist that dagger a bit more! You are killin me bud

If minis were popular here, I would be all over it. Sadly they are not.. Sure wish they were thou.

[Jslick]

I am really digging what you have been doing. Keep up the awesome work. I am glad that our club continues to run and find enjoyment in the 1.9 Class.

[BliB]

If me and Drapnir was looking for popular rigs we would have been driving scx or wraith! ;)

Prolly gonna go to my father this weekend so try to remind me about the Ti, got it all in the workshop!

[ClassiCutCustoms]

Well I am very excited to hear how it all works out. I guess Mini Pitbull Number ONE made it across the pond!

[Ghost]

Looks good, how wide is it?

Same here, now I just lack the my slightly altered transmission box from NCD and for the snow to go away...

It made it over here safe, very good packing, thanks

The front width will be just under 8" for the front. For the rear I don't know yet, but less than the front atleast.

[Ghost]

Sorry meant how wide is the chassis
