Ok, I have the drive train mocked up. The slider will be operated by a micro servo. The pilow blocks will be machined from black delrin to support the drive shafts. I also geared the tranny with a 12 tooth pinion and an 87tooth spur, I have a 96tooth if need be.

here's an idea if your micro servo isn't strong enough for some reason. Mount a standard servo on the axle inline with the backbone, then run a linkage from the servo to your slider. That way it won't hurt your COG as badly as mounting it on the backbone. Honestly though, I think that setup should work very well exactly how it is. Especially with the driveshaft held stationary like that. Last edited by TwistedXT; 01-11-2007 at 06:41 PM. |

Alright, today I got the tranny locked up, I locked the slipper and the dif. Then I got the pede yolks adapted to the stealth outdrives. Then I installed the tranny and did the driveshafts. All thats left on the drivetrain is to make the pillow blocks and the slider. I threw some electronics in it when I got home just to see how it was working, I have now learned that the most important thing with a torsion is weight distrabution. So I am going to run those big ugly c cells that I like so much and put some weight in the back. Surprizingly the 65 turn motor I threw in there felt pretty good, I figured it would be to slow, might run it for a while, or a 55t. Anyway the breakover angle is unreal. I was climbing the steps in front of the house with it, the only failure I had was I cut my front driveshaft down to short and it poped out a few times, but that will be fixed with a longer spline engagement. Since it was to dark out to get any video I risked life and limb for a quick shot at some mattress crawling, its got better groung clearance than the Imperial does......... by about an inch, not counting the links that are even lower.

Well, every project needs a name and after much consideration I have settled on the following........ The JAP Just Ain't a Pimp JB I hope you don't mind the reference, just paying tribute to the original. Last edited by Kamikaze; 01-11-2007 at 09:24 PM. |
