Default Toyzuki V2 chassis

I just installed the toyzuki V2 chassis with Traxxas axles.

Will have to work out the gearing. I think I need about 9:1 spur/pinion.

Wow, very cool! I'd like to see how this turns out. You could set it up in full droop because you'll have plenty of ground clearance from the portals and that will give you really low CG without getting stuck on everything.

My oh my thats awesome. I saw your pics on Facebook earlier and man I can tell you the butt hurtness is real! One hater even said in the comments "Well the MST portals have more clearance" ..sigh..

I love the idea, subscribed for more.

Killer concept, well done! What are your plans for the lockable diffs?

Either just keep them locked or put the servos on the sliders

Very cool, I'll be watching this for future reference.

9:1 on the pinion/spur will be crazy low with the 7.65ish ratio at the axles and 2.6 in the transmission & t-case (95:1 overall ). A pinion/spur ratio around 2.5:1 will put the overall ratio in the 50:1 range.

I have no transmission reduction. I skipped the transmission.


The transfer case has no reduction, either. The rear axle is 1:1 from the output of the spur gear shaft. The front axle is 1.3:1 from the same shaft.

Ahh, I thought you were using the full V2 setup. That gearing makes more sense now.

Any updates to this build. What did you come up with for running gear ratios?

How did it crawl?
