New parts for my pimp cane
 
Well after having my pimp cane rig together for about a week or two and finally getting it dialed in like i wanted i ran into a string of parts failure.I had a moped esc burn up,and a axle locker strip where the hex slips in.
My first parts to fix the problem arived today and i must say i am very impressed.
Here is a pic of my new Crawford Performance Engineering diff locks

I also recived a new set of integy 55t lathes.

To replace the moped esc that went down i have ordered and should recive in the next day or so a pair of castle creations mamba max esc,s.
I also ordered a set of hitec 805 1/4 scale servos to work front and rear steering.I will post up some pics of them on the truck after i get them and figure out some kind of servo mount.

Getting new parts is always like X-Mass...But Sometimes I feel more like Santa ( One that Charges for his Toys) then the little Kids getting gifts. :(

Well today i recived my two 805 servos and my two mamba mak esc's.
These servos are huge and a big challenge to mount but i think i have it figured out.
I will get some pics of my new setup tomorow and a pick of these servos compared to a regular servo just so the people who dont know how big these things are.

joesbruiser 02-01-2007 02:27 PM

Well i have it up and running again with all the new parts:)
I think i am going to like this setup very well.The 805 servos are crazy strong and fast ,almost to fast but i think i can get use to it.
The mamba esc's work great and setup is a breeze.I know these esc's are pricey but i think they are going to be worth every penny.
I have not had a chance to take the rig out yet the weather here sucks right now.I have run it around the house and up and over the couch several time and really like what i am seeing.
Here are a few pics,i would put up some video but i am having problems,for some reason i can not upload a video on to photo bucket or google for some reason.I guess i just do not know what i am doing.

looks like the stock one, must have cvd's in it

joesbruiser 02-01-2007 03:41 PM

The knuckles are stock but are shaved to take advantage of the tighter turning radius of the CVD's.This thing turns very sharp and it seems that with the 1/4 scale servos it may turn a little sharper than before.

Kamikaze you have that right but it is all good.I think money is a lot like water it just keeps running through my fingers.

EagleOne 02-01-2007 05:29 PM

Nice rig you got there, I love the simplicity of the chassis, lol, almost looks to simple! You may be getting the tighter radius from the long servo horns that 1/4 scales have...

Keep us posted on some crawling pics!

Later,
Jake

When are you running two mamba maxes? Seems one would do just have to run the wires.

joesbruiser 02-01-2007 05:57 PM

I am running two esc's so i can have control over the front and rear separatly.It is a huge advantage over a single esc setup.

No, he's running the same setup I am, 2 esc's, 2 channels, independant control of each axle.

As for you Joe, $$$$$$ don't keep you out of the gates unless you give it to the judges:flipoff: Let me know when your ready and we'll do battle for sure, then you will know the pain a tuber can dish out!:lol:

coolhandcountry 02-01-2007 05:59 PM

Ok! I got you. That makes sense. Have the rear hold the front back so it kind of slides around. Thanks joesbruiser.

joesbruiser 02-01-2007 06:05 PM

Lets get ready to rumble:lol:
I was off today and was going to give you a call but the weather was so crapy i did not figure you would want to run.Mabey we can get together tommorow evening or sat."thumbsup"

Kamikaze 02-01-2007 06:06 PM

sounds good, but don't get mad when I beat you.

Badd 02-01-2007 06:22 PM
