House's Generic Ti-Fighter

[Waiting Dragon]

Think plain 'ol 608 will hold or need something more exotic?
I am still planning on making a new set of wider tubes with splined ends...

Keep me in the loop, I would like to put those historic axles I have to good use eventually!;-)

Will do man. Just got back from vacation so need to tie up a few loose ends then will start back on wider tubes.. "thumbsup"

 

[House]

Decided to try a couple minor changes like chassis cab, shocks, motors, ESC's, servo, wheels, weights, etc... LOL
Liking it so far!
Felt good to get on the rocks yesterday, it's been almost 5 months! :shock:

 

[House]

So this happened at the DLux Rumble On The Rocks this last weekend.

I need to get back to work making some new tubes that take a VP c-hub instead of unobtanium ones.

Still managed to get 8th in 2.2m which I am happy with considering the level of competitors present, but really wish I could have made Top 5.


Here are a couple more pics of the current setup on the rocks:

I didn't seem to have any issues directly related to running smaller OD tires than others,
and I really like the stable feeling of these, so I may stick with them for a while
and see how it goes...

This is what I'm waiting for on the super to happen. Time to become unlazy and work on tubes. Got a special die made up for them threads if that'll help ya out when you get tubes made.

 

[House]

Yes indeed, awesome! I haven't been looking forward to machining that oddball thread!

 

[Digital]

Are you near Chico? I could hold the camera while I slobber over your Berg. So awesome!

 

[House]

Thanks
About 2.5 hours away.
You should come to one of our comps and hang out.
With a little advance notice we could even have a loaner car for you to drive, Shafty or Modified!

 

[Digital]

Right on House, hopefully after Thanksgiving or something I could bring my son with me too.

 

[House]

Sounds good!"thumbsup"

Ouch! Sorry to see that House. Serious design flaw, not your fault. Chubs will be better...or you can be a from-billet-knucklehead like me and suffer through making a set of one piece units. A ton of work but you'll never have issues after that.

Look forward to seeing your solution.

Re: House's Ti-Fighter

That's why I am afraid to build mine...

Sorry that happened man, stoked to see what you come up with!

 

[House]

Quite a few options at this point, but I have narrowed it down to these for this round:
Ti two piece, splined outer
7075 one piece, splined outer
7075 one piece, keyed outer

 

[House]

A little sloppy, but here was the car running in Cedar City

And the World Champion Judge!

[House]

With all these new D_Lux Berg parts running around and Joel working on his again I better get off my rear.
Finally looked into it and it looks like I can machine the .5mm threads with some gear swapping. Yay.
Time to make some more chips....

 

[SkaldidDog]

Oh the joy of 0.5mm threads. Bring on the coolness.
