Tydl's Super VIPER Well, building my first super wasn't enough. I had to have a viper chassis too. Problem was, C*H*U*D of Underground Crawlers doesn't make a super chassis:cry: I talked with him, but he didn't have any extra of that precious commodity time, but was interested to see what I came up with. I took as much inspiration as I could from the 2.2 Viper but it definitely got stretched! I present my super viper8) http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02416.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02414.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02415.jpg It was alot of work, but I think worth it! Its far from perfect, but I'm happy with the results. It was all done with some graph paper and a sharpie, jig saw and a dremel.:flipoff: I've still got a little work to do to it. I need to finish the skid. Hopefully this week I'll get more delrin for crossmembers and make em. I dunno why, but for some reason I thought 1ft would be enough:lmao: I will be making links this week, with some big high clearance for the rear, I think I'll make some low clearance for the fronts. The uppers will be 3/8 rod. This is what I have at this point http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02418.jpg Super Viper chassis 2x Super Bully axles Crawl Spec knuckle weight holders 3.8 proline beadlocks narrowed(not finished) proline MoabXL's Hitech 7980 for the front JR 8711 for the rear 2x BRXLs 2x Integy 55t Dx6i Thank you all for the help so far, and to think this roller coaster is just getting started:twisted: |

Such humble beginnings8) http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02419.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02420.jpg Got the link lengths measured out. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02425.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02424.jpg I setup wheelbase for 18" when compressed, got it on first shot!:shock: I did make sure nothing binds and I think I've got plenty of travel. I left the axles fairly unclocked for the caster, but am unsure what others are doing. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02421.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02426.jpg Wasn't able to pick up all my delrin for links and crossmemebers, so they'll have to wait till next week. I still need to think about steering, kinda liking turbo's design. Definately going to 86 the steering And then theres the electronics.... Lots to do, but I'm working on it8) |
Looking good Wade"thumbsup" |

http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02452.jpg I haven't drilled n tapped em yet, I need a drill press, without, I can't drill straight.:roll: Next focus is the steering, but I've got some ideas... They just need to happen quick. |
Got the links drilled and tapped. I think I will redesign them a little when I remake them in white. But they work for now. I have started working on servo mounts, will hopefully have something to show by the weekend, if I do, it should be coming with me to nats(I hope). http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02461.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02463.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/DSC02457.jpg |
