I got my R2 prototype tranny today, and setup

The rear dig brake doesn't do anything, but the disconnect works great.

Accuweather shows rain until 7am, clear till 1pm, and clear again by 2pm till 7pm. So we might get hit with a light sprinkle right around 1pm

So I will be there around 1, just in time for the rain. I wanna put this tranny to the test. I guess I should bring my other R2 as a backup, if it fails horribly on me

would there be any good reason to bring my team losi xxx-t tomorrow? perhaps someone could explain a possible way to use my xxx-t tranny in a crawler if i bring it.

I use a XXX tranny from the buggy in my crawler. It works very well. They are light, small and pretty dang tough. Having the ability to use a slipper clutch is nice, too. You can set it so it slips before you break a driveline, but it wont slip before that.

If it is supposed to rain all day (which it looks like it is), I don't plan on going. Not a big fan of mixing my electrics with water. My reciever, batteries, ESC and servo are all out in the open. I would rather wait for a dryer day to go.

Are other people going even it looks like it is still going to rain?

Thanks,
Casey

BigBaller · 04-01-2007, 08:27 AM

Etype R · 04-01-2007, 08:34 AM

Nicklepimp · 04-01-2007, 08:47 AM

What time are you planning on going?

Just in case I decide to show up.

Cake Eater · 04-01-2007, 08:49 AM

Heading out in a few. Erik coming?

freetimecrawler · 04-01-2007, 11:16 PM

Pic's? vid?

Etype R · 04-02-2007, 06:55 AM

I'll try to get some pics up later tonight. I spent most of last night reworking the brake on the R2 dig system. I welded a small tab to the output shaft and threaded in a bolt to act as a stop. After a bit of grinding, and tweaking I got it working pretty good. Here is a link of it working http://www.turtlecrawler.com/product...nnect/R2-1.wmv

Hua is going to fix the two issues I told him about

Nicklepimp · 04-02-2007, 10:34 AM

Looks like you could use some traction under those tires.

Otherwise looks like it's braking a lot better.

Etype R · 04-02-2007, 10:49 AM

Yeah... Paper doesn't seem to provide much for traction, though it locks up the rear axle on carpet as well.

BigBaller · 04-02-2007, 11:34 AM

Ok boys, I am trying to download some vid's from yesterday's GTG. Please check the Video section out....

Later

Nicklepimp · 04-02-2007, 11:46 AM

I'll have to check it out when I get home. Our filter at work won't let me view any vids from photobucket.

BigBaller · 04-02-2007, 11:49 AM

Sorry NicklePimp. Got any other freebie sites with options your firewall will except? Stupid work thing getting in the way of a good time? Oh well.

Nicklepimp · 04-02-2007, 12:15 PM

I wouldn't worry about it... We've got pretty tight security here. Pretty much all of those sites are blocked here. No biggie, I'll catch it at home in a couple hours.

BigBaller · 04-02-2007, 01:51 PM

Ok, all videos I have worth posting are in the right section. Next time I will bring a tripod to make it easier on the eyes.
