Vp Incision Shafty Build...3...2...1

[Sneed]

Pic's do the talking

[mark reel]

looking good sneed!
need to bend up them lower links now that they will not hit the driveline u can run the steel night crawler drivelines to get more clearence as well,
i believe i showed you mine at ECC

No I didn't get to see your rig but I got the idea of mounting the trans center to D-shafts from Jay

I just threw this together today about 11:00PM

That looks good Sneed!! Like the way you turned the motor in the chassis to straighten up the shafts. I bet by changing it around it will help out on the breakovers. Can't wait to see it finished!!

hey bud why your working on it, flip the motor and trans around so the
motor is closer to the front. this will help on breakovers a little as well.

if you havent already! cant tell with no axles shown in your pics

[Sneed]

I've got a roller

[Jwatts]

H**L Yea...Man that looks good!!! Now get it wired up and let's get it out on the rocks to see what she will do!!

[Sneed]

I've only got two bolts holding the trans in... I doubt I'll be able to get away with just two...



I'm liking the looks of this thing

[losicrawler2]

That looks awesome! What is your ground clearance at now?

Bring on the breakovers This is about 4'' at full droop, I'll probably run some internal limiters. At full droop I lose about .5'' of wheelbase, so some shock tuning is going to be in my near future

[Del Monte]

I always wondered if that chassis would work with the LCC trans. Looks good

[Sneed]

I think this will open up more possibilities for me and the Losi

One thing has got me puzzled... When the axles articulate, one corner will pull the wheelbase out, and the other will push....? I don't think it's the link geometry but possibly a link longer/shorter than the rest? I'll get measurements tomorrow. I may see if I can get a pic to help show what I'm describing. I have seen/heard of this happening on MOA's

[mrG]

Awesome

[Nonsonic]

Looks great! I did a trial fit myself the other nite guess I shouldn't have been looking at it at 2 am to figure out trimming one of the sides down to make room for the motor. Looks great!

[relic68]

Looks promising, which version did you start with though. The MOA or the Axial one?

[Sneed]

Its the AX10 w/ a MOA skid

[Sneed]

This is what I was trying to explain...

i just checked my stock chassis, it also has some steer when flexing. I never noticed this until you brought it up.

[Robbob]

my stock chassis and new setup does the same thing, maybe not as much as that but its there.

Mine I believe is because of the stock lower link triangulation. If the links were straighter it wouldnt be that bad but axle swing would be worse.

[rob_b]

I would have to say that the increased axle steer is being caused my the increased height of the chassis. Its kinda hard to explain but a link that starts off "flat" will have less horizontal movement than one that starts "angled" over a given amount of vertical travel. You're just not used to seeing it because of the damn near perfect geometry of a stock LCC.
