and as for the moped, It will runs all those servos just fine, the futaba is just a brake so it dosn't pull a load at all, lots of people use two 645's with a moped with no problems, my super has 1/4 scales, but I have two mopeds on it, it works great. | |

Got the batterys in, whew, now I know what it feels like to stuff 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lbs bag. The front axle looks terrible with thos batterys uneven like that so I am goin to machine sone mounts out of delrin that will bolt up to those 2 holes on either side, they will stand straight up, but for now this will have to do. I don't think I have seen single cells mounted to a link before, oh well something different, its better than running two cells which I thought I was going to end ub doing. and one picture of my super for size referance, the 2.2 chassis is actualy bigger than my super, less stuff on a clod I guess. |

quick question about your build, did you make your links tabs or did you use something else.

I used chain links, for the link and shock mounts. Drove it today, very stable, love the front wheel drive. I weighed it, 5.5 lbs, I guess thats not to bad, considering it has 3 servos, c batterys, bbs in the front tires, and event the links are steel, so all and all I guess its ok. I was sorta thinking sevenish but 5.5 is good.

I went to columbia rock today after work and the battery in my camera was dead, so no pics, but I will say this thing climbs vertical stuff like crazy. If I can get the front wheels even close to the top of a ledge I can put it in front wheel drive and it will suck it right down to the rock, then its a quick switch to 4 wheel again and of she goes. LOVE IT. I will get some new batterys tomorow to take some video. If anyone wants to get together you need to try this place, nice level ground to walk on great rocks, there like sand paper.

Added a 7th cell tonight,,, HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I now have a rock racer. I am uploading a video of the power that I now have, please bare in mind that the throtle is not as touchy as it looks looks like in the video. I'm just a little trigger happy at the moment. As if I wasn't already breaking axles before. I threw in a dig or two for good measure. I should have a wheeling vid in a day or so. http://media.putfile.com/100-0302 here's the new cell. Between the two rear ones. |
