Some pics of my 2.2 clod in action.

[chino]

Not a whole lot, but enjoy.










This is the most dialed in I have had the rig in a while. I am running 2 55T lathes, powered by twin batteries (3300mah venoms) and twin speed controls. It sits at 12 inches long and 11 and 3/8 inches wide. In one the pics you can see the rear dig set up, just a simple button that cuts power to the rear motor, it seems to do the trick.

No tech, where would you like me to move this?

sorry, forgot the tech... edited

here is some tech.... shave those axles

I used to run them with Moabs and hated how much they would get hung up.(mainly that front screw channel)

they are like anchors too, once they latch to a rock they dont let go


search you will find many write ups on trimming the clods for max clearance for running 2.2s



Might recommend bust apart that battery(makes a really high COG) and axle mount each cell in place of the weights in the rear

even better get a 2/3 pack you are running 2.2s but then again you are running twinny motors

thanks for the reply.
The axle shaving is next on my to do list. Now that I am home from college for the summer I have time to really wrench. (got a 80 dollar fine from fire and safety for having a soldering iron in the dorm ) I don't trust myself ripping apart the battery packs and rearranging them. To hell out with the COG, I loaded the wheels up with weights and well as the axles.

I am sorry, but i understand the rulls to say touching the rig is a penalty. if so wouldnt pushing the button for rear dig qualify as touching? it is mounted on the rig right???

No.


But why run twin ESCs and a dig switch? And how are you controlling twin ESCs separately and running a DIG with a TQ3?

why would it be mounted on the rig?

I am running both ESCs off the same channel using a Y-harness. It seemed to do the trick with the clod stall. The read dig is engaged and disengaged via the 3rd channel and a servo.

One esc should handle it just the same as it is now. Unless I'm missing something.

I forgot to mention that I put about 8 inches of extra wire going to the front motor off the first ESC. It seems to start turning the back motor just a little before the front one goes. This helps take care of the clod stall.
