This has been an 'in progress' for a while now, finding the inline box kinda kick started it all!

3.8:1 inline gearbox, 40t motor



Feeding this;



3:1 reduction




First draft link mounts




End Result



Chassis side (eMachine Shop 3D view)



The real McCoy



Still working to this I think



Beefed up steering (dunno if it needs it, but more is good )

[Wookie]

Very, very sweet

I would love to have access to your machine shop/CNC machine or what ever you used to do the machining on your chassis and parts. I've some similar ideas to yours, but using different parts and making a much lower profile chassis.

Keep up updated on the progress of your truck.

Damn Twinset! Good Post!

[Cutter]

...I meant 'bloody' good post

[DUDE]

Good luck on the inline. I messed with one and it failed. I hope your does work because I would like to see that. I just luv inovation, thats all.
I hope the inline works for ya, there is not much left of mine. The brass pinion couldn't take it.

Looks great! I love your link mounts. Nice and bulky. What kind of machine are you using? 3 axis, 5 axis?

[TWINSET]

I'm not sure what machine they were made on chap, but I would guess a 3 axis machine, most of our shops use them primarily

Anyroad, apologies for the 56k bung up, but I got some progress to report

Really taking shape now




Arcticulation won't be as impressive once the shocks are on, I want to keep it a bit more scale
Shiny, triangles, sliders, what more could anyone want????
Holes on gearplates are for a skid guard

Hey Andy, that is stunning work! Your best so far I think. Very sweet bit of engineering

[TWINSET]

sooooo close

Fitted the new link rods now, secured the gears to the shafts, pinched a couple more shocks from the Rage chassis, and had a little play
Couldn't do a great deal with it at the moment, the servo reversing lead I got for the rear axle is shot, so the rear end just does what it likes!

Battery is at the back, elastic bands are just there to hold stuff in temporarily


Lazzies for now, but that's where it'll go. Lexan 'anti short' shields will be fitted soon


Arty shot, just for the sake of it


Ooooh Shiny





And it works CLICK FOR VIDEO

[TWINSET]

Cheers Kevin - wait 'til you see the body

[GRINDER]

Very sweet work. Where can I get a few sets of those link mounts?
Again great work. Great vid aswell.
