Nameless Clod
 
Well, here's my work in progress. Still havent decided on a name so feel free to make suggestions.

Clod axles, locked front and rear
17" WB Pimp Cane
Proline Beadlocks
Moab XL's

I still need to install electronics, I just need servos though. It's going to have 2 55T Lathe motors (I'll probably rewind them or get something with more torque, maybe brushless) Novak Super Rooster, TowerPro (chickenbutt) servos, and a modded TQ3. Still undecided on batteries as well.

She is officially a roller :)

Are you going to narrow the rims?

Probably. It wont be for awhile though as I dont like cutting up wheels and tires that I just dropped $120 on.

makes a difference in grip too.

It may just be me but for some reason it looks like your rig has a ton of flex steer.But like i said it could just be me.

You're seeing things. The Pimp Cane can't have any flex steer. Not the way it was designed.

The wheels are free to move as they please right now due to no servos/linkage yet. And as R2J said, no flex steer.

joesbruiser 01-10-2007 05:53 PM

I guess the rear wheels are turned and that is what i am looking at.

cartronicshn 01-10-2007 06:23 PM

:shock: that's a lot of flex for a new cane', you sure everything is bolted down tight? i ask because even after i have ran at least 20 packs on my cane with moabs xl and weights, i don't think i have that much flex on mine:shock: , or maybe it's just the pic.

Yes, everything is bolted down tight

Is there a secret for getting that much flex?

I've had mine for 2 months and still can't get a tire more than 4 inches off the ground before the opposite end lifts.

2. pose,
3. Take pic,
4. try to straghten back out,

You pretty much just summed it up, lol. I could have flexed it another inch but I didnt want to bend it. It is still straight as when I got it.
