|  new pimp in town
Well after having backbone failure on the last gate at the last SERCRC comp(I had to flip it pretty hard to clear the gate)i rebuilt my pimp cane. I stayed with my same 805 servos,mamba max esc's,and batt.setup. I narrowed a new set of thorns down to 1 3/4 wide(1/4 narrower than the last set),I put it on a diet and lost about a pound,new backbone(18 inch wheelbase)about 3/4 longer than before,i built new chassis to back bone mounts(to spread out some of the load and accept two screws into the back bone,and i gave it a new lid. I have a set of 7 tooth pinions on the way to replace the 8 tooths and it should be ready for the next comp.       |

Looks good. I also changed my mind and went with a longer wheelbase. Mine is now sitting at 18.5in.

I think with the turning ability you gain by running dual esc's allows you to run a longer wheelbase.The only thing i may change is to make the axle to chassis mounts a little longer and towards the middle of the chassis more to cut down on flex. The esc's fit perfect on the back of the 1/4 scale servos.That is why i mounted the servos flat instead of a angle so i could clear the motors with the esc's. |
