House's Generic Ti-Fighter

[House]

YREKA?!
You must be in the wrong forum, as I believe I am the only Berg fan within a hundred mile radius...
LOL

More progress pics coming soon...

 

[House]

OK, finally got a little bit more progress. Here is a good pic of the servo
mount and the new orientation of the gears for the last time before
they are greased up and shut tight.

And finally, almost a whole axle..!

And the rear motor installed...

And the pair together...

 

[DickyT]

Very nice! What is the weight of each as they sit?

 

[bikerj08]

Lookin good man"thumbsup"

 

[House]

Thanks guys.
I am borrowing a scale tomorrow so I can weigh them...

 

[TEDROCKZ]

Really clean build. "thumbsup"

That first scape is gonna hurt.

Those axle look perfect.

where did you find the gears. I am haven a hard time.

I bought a new set of Berg axles when we ordered these so I could just take
the gears and pins out of them. I think that was the cheaper way to do it...

I must say that's as pretty as a set of crawler axles come. Art.

Now toss the cane, quit popping meds and save that TiFi's life.

Curious of the weight here also. Looks great so far!

 

[DiabloCrawler]

Very nice project, love those T-Fighters.....

Current weight as pictured:

Front - 18.14 oz
Rear - 13.12 oz

 

[ittybitty]

Looks like you're around 1oz lighter than a standard housing with CCD tubes and Ti rear shafts on the rear axle. I haven't weighed my front axle to compare it...might have to do that soon.

Well trying to put more custom machining touches on stuff never ceases to
amaze me at how much of a PITA it is... What I thought was going to be a simple
job (and would have been with a belt sander) turned out to be quite the ordeal,
but this is how my Revo rod ends tapered down to the .187 links turned out...

Wow that's pretty light!

Edit. My bully with steel hexs is 13.15 exactly.

Considering your motor is 1.5oz heavier than mine. Those axles are pretty light!

These look weird but cool. Good job.

Here is a stock locker next to the SDS locker

Sure looks awfully similar an RC Bro locker to me. Did Dave guy the design from William or something?

LOL, just for the record, I know that expensive equipment does not make
you a better driver. I have a LONG way to go to be competitive at the
higher level competitions. I am not expecting this car to do wonderous
anti-gravity gate deterring maneuvers or anything. It may actually hamper
me for a while until I get it figured out. With that being said, here is the
current local level point standings without my awesome new machine:
