........Inspired TORSION STICK........... 4 Attachment(s) I owe Del Monte for getting the idea in my head after seeing the video of his. I fixed the articulation problem. Had to move a whole bunch of things aroun to get it but it came at very unique. |
holy crap i love it. maybe i should start building comp chassis |
looks great! I like the idea of the slanted backbone, it'll be interesting to see how it works. |
it just looks so wrong, what were you drinking to come up with that? |
5 Attachment(s) Hell ya bitch. This thing CRAWLS. I'm excited it's debute on real rocks will be this weekend. I'm going to the LHS tomorrow to pick up some small batteries. Then I can put them where I need to. Even with the battery up high it's still a low cg. Here are pics from my yard. |
I just went and weighed it 4.7# with 3300 and a lathe. Allso water filled tires. I used them to play in the mud earlier. So when the brushless gets back in this truck that's good for about 4.oz. The small battery is good for about 8+oz I should break the 4# mark easy. |

3 Attachment(s) Thanks for the sapport guys. Pics of the mounting to the axles. IT's mounted to the stock tlt double shock link mount thing. |
the torsion stick crawls nice doesn't it? 8) I'm liking the use of stock mounts too, I might have to try that instead. |
My shaft rust from lack of use. Quote:
When it's off set like that it has more leverage to twist the c channel.=more articulation |
Now I get it. So, if you loosen the bolts up, will it flex more? |
NO it will axle wrap. That holds it rigid. The channel deflects and twists. |
First the side plates went away, then the shocks & springs went away, pretty soon we'll be crawling with no axles! All of a sudden the Nanotube is old-school! :shock: I can't keep up with you guys. |
Thats pretty slick! Does it articulate evenly to both directions and without a C shaped sway? |
Looks good. |
Micro lol nano=old :lol: Quote:
What do you mean"C shaped sway" |
Dude you amaze me sometimes. When do we get to see it in action? Des Moines again this weekend? |
what is the ground clearance at? i have a plan ill have to try:-P ill let ya know what it is..later:twisted: |
JAy I'm going crawling in WI this weekend. It depends on tires. Anywhere from 2.5" to 3.5" |

If you are thinking of spacers under the stick mount I allready tried it.:lol: It works just fine. |

Yep I pulled it off, so I could take the foams out and put bb's in. I'm going to try 2.5oz first. Just changing the battery dropped it down to 3#7.4oz Without bb's and the brushless. It would be possable to get under 3# overall wieght. I got two small packs and a body today 97 f150. |
4 Attachment(s) Well it works better than any other tlt I've had. I've been playing with weight and at 4#2oz seems to be the best that's where it sits now RTR. Got everything going for a gtg saturday. So there will be good crawling pics then. |
cole i was going to mount my body almost identically. hows it twist like that with a body mounted? |
It doesn't efect it at all. I made the body loose fitting. Something I noticed while crawling. If you have a linked/sprung truck and 1 tire goes into a hole. The whole truck gets upset when the tire falls in the hole. With this truck it just carries the tire across the hole. Like it was just flat ground. |

i just got mine finished up, the first chassis was too weak and i broke it before i ever even ran it haha. mounted body the same way. you guys bringing yours to moab ? |
I wish I could go to moab. It's getting a therough betting to day. I'll let everyone know how it stacks up to the other tlt's. I don't know if I said this or not. With the aluminum at an angle like that more force is applied to the side that lifts a tire. When under a hard load. So it counter acts torque twist too. besides making it look cool. |
Quoting Microgoat Actually I think the next big thing to come is individual wheel gearboxes, so technically, no axles. |

thats interesting, ive got very little time on mine but no torque twist that ive noticed... |
I was trying this set up today. But the axles won't line up with each other with the aluminum bar straight. Any ideas. |
You have to drill out the little metal tlt mount thing. Drill them out to 3/16. Then you canget the rest with the turnbuckle. All I can say is CLOD KILLER this thing is crazy good. If you don't have one you will loose a comp. That's my cocky statment for the month.:) Pics soon. I need to resize them. |
