Re: Xkill's mini Thanks for the kind words. First I have to make it run and then we will see how it performs. If everything works as I hope I'm considering making the parts available in http://thingiverse.com/ so anyone can print these parts for free... |
Re: Xkill's mini Nice work on the chassis, it is very hard to find a bodiless chassis for the MRC. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

I might have over done it.... Already working on a new version using 32P pinions and only 2t difference. |
Re: Xkill's mini That's quite a lot of OD/UD. Just don't ever need to back up. LOL |
Re: Xkill's mini True.... But the main problem was that the pinions for the OD would not survive much. So I'm working on a version with less OD (2 tooth difference instead of 6). We will see how it goes, but time is running out for me. |
Re: Xkill's mini Damn, you are a mad genius! |
Re: Xkill's mini The switch to 32pitch pinions in the front was a great move! Why didn't I go this route in the first place?! :roll: Just waiting for pinions to do the same on the rear. I will be using 13 and 15t pinions. The "ticking" sound on the video is the pinions in the rear skipping teeth... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KEEq9jSo7p8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Re: Xkill's mini So, I guess I should do an update to this right... :roll: Was waiting for a long time for the 32pitch pinions to arrive so I could finish the car. Customs held the package for more than a month :shock: and I finished the car the day before traveling to Austria for Eurocrawl. I went one day before the comp and used that day to test the mini for the first time. I have 15weight oil on all 4 shocks and Dravtech supersoft springs. The rear right was bottoming out a lot so I changed to soft (same as losi pink spring) and it was better. Going uphill the dlux weights are awesome, going downhill is a totally different thing... The car is super front heavy and the brushless combo gave me zero control on downhill. Definitely one of the first things I have to do something about... Just before leaving home I changed the from inserts for some memory foam on the outside and a harder, home made, inside foam. With all that weight the front was washing off on sidehills... Foam tunning is also on the to do list... Still, the car was a lot of fun to drive!!!! Zero issues and everything held together, only had a few "clicks" on the front end when I pushed it on a bind... I'll post pictures of the complete car and later I'll post the videos of my runs during Eurocrawl.

They was super happy and so was I! [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2ecc2af5_c.jpgSAM_4150[/IMG] Also added some weight to the rear... [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a155796e_c.jpgSAM_4151[/IMG] Rear upper link support. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7318c128_c.jpgSAM_4152[/IMG] Rear UD case is 100% closed, unlike the front for clearance issues. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...464e3b51_c.jpgSAM_4153[/IMG] Front OD. Next to it is the battery support and above the ESC support. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...fae5eb46_c.jpgSAM_4155[/IMG] [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...23c852d6_c.jpgSAM_4154[/IMG] Tire gets pretty low from all that weight... [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...404212d6_c.jpgSAM_4156[/IMG] It's a tight fit but the receiver fits behind the servo and it's well protected. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...10a8026c_c.jpgSAM_4157[/IMG] Still want to try and get a few more degrees, but will have to redesign some parts... [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a27cd4bf_c.jpgSAM_4159[/IMG] The combo is very nice, going uphill... Lot's of control and enough power. I wander if a micro x will be better downhill...:roll::roll: [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d64a8a75_c.jpgSAM_4160[/IMG] The SDI shafts are nice and twisted but no major binding. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ddfdd58f_c.jpgSAM_4161[/IMG] During Eurocrawl I got 9th out of 25 drivers and was super happy! Even more amazing my spare parts car (Mini Pro with a CF gatekepper, stock motor and weights on the wheels and traxxas OD mod), was finished in the morning of the comp and was shared by 2 of my friends. One of them got an amazing 7th place!! So now it's time to tune the car and iron out the bugs. It's a lot of fun driving this car! :mrgreen: |

Re: Xkill's mini That's awesome! |
Re: Xkill's mini Bump all mrc threads lol |
Re: Xkill's mini Bump to your bump! Now with Outrunner power ;) But still some more testing to be done... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JgZXCi7FPfI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Xkill's mini Did the od/ud file ever get posted? Getting a printer soon and would love to test it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Xkill's mini Mini is still being fine tuned. It is now lowered and with a new tire in the front. I'm not happy with the recovery problems that the servo location gives me so I might redesign the whole front end... Also, the Servo is getting SUPER hot.... I don't think it will have a long life... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DwzAFMg2_fM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Re: Xkill's mini Seems to do quite well! How ya feeling about that outrunner? |
Re: Xkill's mini Very happy with it. It beats the inrunner hands down! My main problem with the inrunner mas downhill control. I had zero of it! Basically the car would just take of, I could not have controlled decent. Now I have all the control in the world! But it's not all roses, I had to move from a 2s to a 3s lipo... And I will probably go one pinion up, from 13t to 14t. |
