the only time i ever bent the stock steering rods is when i got them snagged on something. but then again i had 'em mounted on the bottom of the knuckles stock-style. i dont think having them mounted on top would be that bad. again, that thing is wicked cool. VERY nice. |

Okay, I'll try responding to all the posts again, but I'll probably take two or three posts to do it. Quote:
The batteries sit just in front of the trans, opposite the motor. Quote:

Hey Ron, I didn't know you hung around here. Actually, I am running CBP 2500's now. It took some work to make them fit in the same area and I ended up with a very wierd shaped pack but the 1100's were getting soft and low on run time as I'd beat them up all summer fast charging them. I get over one hour with these 2500's and they weigh less than half what a 6 cell 3000 mah pack weighs. were did you ge tthe batts? unitedRC has some of the gp 2200's but he hasnt listed or posted the pics i asked for and he said he would. want some slightly larger cells for the tlt, and a few other projects. |

Awesome service! The 2500's are A cells as opposed to 2/3 A for the 1100's. However they are larger diameter as well and nearly twice as long. David | |

Hey man! The pics are awesome...but they still don't compare to holding the rig in your hands. The build quality on this chassis is astonishing. It looks like a production piece...if not better. To all the guys who don't know me...I'm Ryan...as in 3rd in the 2.2 class at the Moab comp Ryan...so I was there, . I held this chassis in my hands and checked it out. It is absolutely phenomenal...and if he decides to make another, I'll buy one. The custom tranny thing is just super-cool, and the "scale-ness" of the whole things is just off- the charts. Oh...and what he says about the tranny not hanging low is totally spot on...it has as good or better center ground clearance as any other 2.2 rig I've seen. The one thing I don't care for is the suspension. Having the shocks mount towards the center of the axle (and actually point in rather than out) takes away from the realism of the look IMO, and I think it also hurts stability a little. Other things I would change if it were my rig... -Wider off-set wheels -Longer wheelbase -Driver figure (you had one pictured I think...woulda been cool to see it on the finished rig...although it would make changing the battery a bit more difficult. -Maybe move the battery, or at least a few cells from the battery, to under the hood or something, instead of in the center of the truck next to and on top of the tranny. Again...these are just things I would change if it were mine...I think this buggy is exceptional...and probably the best, and most original, that I've seen. It already crawls well, and I think it will crawl with anything with a little more fine tuning. Great job davkin! I look foward to crawling with you again, and seeing this thing in action! |
