The Eye's 2011 TTC Rig

[The Eye]

Well if i do brushless i have a Traxxas system in my slash ... that is collecting dust


Velineon 3500
VXL-3s esc


plus it is water proof ....

I think that could go well with my summit tranny and just run 3 cells


is anyone using the traxxas system?

Watch the 7t on 4 cell...it gets hot quick, and JRH told me that 35,000 rpm was max for the 7t. I have run my Bronco on 4s a few times at our last TTC, and it really ripped, but I was just waiting for it to throw a wind. 4s is about 42,000 rpm on a 7t. Just don't want you to destroy a "classic" hard to find motor :mrgreen:.

sounds like, as a daily driver i should just go 3 cells and 4 cells on comp days maybe.... just do this brushless thing. thanks for the tech info "thumbsup"

are the 7t motors still being made ?

No, they are like gold.

The 7t puller is the best motor I've ever used, but I am going brushless this time. I know Ryan Gerrish and Dean we're both running brushless in Montana last year, and they made it through all the courses.

Thanks :mrgreen:



----------------------------------

Looks like i need to find some Super 300's for this truck, i dont think the stock inners are going to do real well now.

also i'm thinking that the rear steer could be cool, but i'm thinking of the wear points in the rear that might cause me problems at a big event.
plus i'm not sure where i would but it.

ch 1 steering
ch 2 thr
ch 3 summit tranny
ch 4 winch

i guess i could run a "Y" for my steering servos
or run a wireless remote for the winch servo
heck i could just dust off my DX6

this is going to be fun, no matter 8)

 

[The Eye]

I tryed a different look today, I'm so happy i ordered wheel wideners... this truck needs a wider track.


Thanks RC4WD for look #2

The 2.2 Rock Stars ..... which i plan to have the rings done in black

Thanks for your support and Thanks for sponsoring the first ever TTC event at The Rox Box a couple weeks ago.

I really think this rig will look great in just al Black .... and covered in mud

 

[The Eye]

I have plans to build one more set of wheels for this rig.

The 2.2 Trail Shooter From Mayhem Eng.


This is a very sexy wheel in 1.9 and i cannt wait to see it in 2.2 :mrgreen:

Like my 1.9 setup my 2.2 will be build with 2.2 Rox Lox tires....

and again thanks to 3jeeps we can all see how sexy these wheels are. I cannt wait to see oh sexy the 2.2 ones turn out ;-)


Thanks Dan for everything

oh yeah ..................... "Gate"

 

[DonsATV]

Nice!!! "thumbsup"

 

[The Eye]

I took a couple hundred that nite, might get to take some more when this is finished

Don't worry my friend .... we are all ready interviewing for the STAFF for this trucks photo shoot... :shock: "thumbsup"

 

[The Eye]

Looks good, but drop the spare tire mounted on the rear. Not needed in a TTC and just adds weight and gets hung up on stuff.

After i read this i went back and checked my truck, and with the wheel off the back of the truck is smooth, so that will work out great. Thanks for noticing it.

 

[Turn'Nburn]

I think you should add some more tube work....:shock:
JK.. looks good man! I think I like it better without the spare also.


i'm bringing my Xrten up this weekend for it's first ever run. Oh, and I got a little TTC project coming up too..:twisted: when's Indy's next TTC event?

I looked on John Holmes site and the site said the 7t motors where on sale. Is this the wrong motor ??

[Grizzly4x4]

I'd suggest pushing that front axle forward for better approach angle. Many rigs in the 2010 Scale Nats were around 13.5" wheelbase. With the extra steering from Super 300's and overdrive front gears (or underdrive rear) the turning radius is decent.

I like the RC4WD Rock Stars with the silver rings. "thumbsup"

I think the Venileon system on 3S would be a great setup with the Summit tranny. I say give it a try and let us know how it does.

Has no Drag brake.

 

[Grizzly4x4]

Has no Drag brake.

Oh! How about running it off a Sidewinder or a Mamba Max then.

He found some leftover cans so is doing a short sale on them (details in HH vendor section). Definitely worth getting. I regretted selling mine, but managed to snag another one out of the bst forum.

Yeah it is short in these pictures. i built it to 12.5" WB like my 2.2 comp rig. .... opps ..... But it did make new links today to take it to 13.75" to fill the chassis totally 8).... now it looks even bigger

I plan to order my 300's this weekend from TCS
