Hey mistercrash! That guy is here on RCM. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23804 :intello:
|
What a small RC world we live in :lol:
Here's what I came up with for a first draft. I don't think I could use the spur cover with a mount like that. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t_concept1.gif |
I can sooo totally appreciate all the work that gentleman did on the french forum with the custom alum Merv chassis, to make that chassis he must of spent many many hours designing and making but if speed runs are desired why not just buy a TC ?
|
hmm, that project looks very interesting. If I did a fully custom 1:16 chassis, I would probably try to adapt a 1:10 offroad transmission into it. I recently rebuilt an AE RC10T3 magnum transmission and it looks more than robust enough to handle the mini Revo platform, transmissions probably get better as new kits are released too. Just a thought.
that prototype is looking good, Mr.C. I like the idea of having two screws instead of just one, as I've shredded many a spur on my macro Revo when the mesh screw slipped. Good work! |
Thanks but this first drawing I made has a major flaw. I couldn't fix that because I had to go to work. The plate that would attach to the motor could not pivot over the slipper nut. So it should look more like this.
Bondo, I always ask myself the same question. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t_concept2.jpg |
I kept looking at the picture waiting for it to move :lol:

|
What an amazing thread!!!!! You must have a ton of cash in this truck... Also your work is outstanding. I have loved this thread and the work you have put into the Revo. Thank you
|
Now the next question is are you going to make it out of carbon fiber???:mdr:
|
Carbon fiber would be good but would it be strong enough??
|
Cf would be strong enough, more rigid than aluminum. But for better heat dissipation, I would do it in aluminum. But I don't feel like doing it right now. I'm too busy and my attention is towards RC helicopters.
|
Heli is great fun but really really bad when they crash. I may be getting another soon tho. I have a friend that has one and never uses it.

I don't know why, in my mind, CF seems to be a bit weak... Again, never really worked with it, but I've always thought (even though it's incorrect, sometimes) metal > CF. What helicopters!? Me too! |
Funny you should mention heli's.....After a bad incident involving a Blade CP rtr heli I bought on the spur of the moment a year or two ago (I had some really bad bruises on my arm and broken chopper) I recently decided to give it a second go round cause I didn't like that it had beat me, literally and figuratively. I got a Walkera cb100 to teach myself how to fly this time and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. It's much more forgiving when I crash than the blade was,lol:lol:
|
I've been practicing on the Pheonix sim all winter. I feel I'm ready but my wallet doesn't agree. I'm pretty much set on an Align Trex 500 super combo and a Spektrum DX8 or JR 9503. It's all in my shopping cart on the Great Hobbies website along with an E-Flite Blade CX2 for my son.

The last 8th scale diff for the E-Revo
I kept this CD for myself but I haven't used it in a year or more and since I won't be racing anymore, I decided to sell it. So if anyone wants the last of these, go on the link below, it's posted on RCTech.
http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...nter-diff.html |
This will not work with a nitro Revo? Will it?
|
No it will not work, it's too big and the tooth count on the gear is not the same as the nitro version.
|
Sorry to bother you... Thank you..
|
No bother and you're welcomed.
|
The last 8th scale center diff is sold. :yipi:

I took 1 step futher and did a machined version of the LST-revo diff mod... Removing the exact amount of material to fit and un modified Bulkhead (but the bolt part) Here´s and album of it. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_m...288/grados.jpg I hope you like it! |
That is one tight fit. Nice work on that molak.
|
Molak,
Amazing work! My xxl diffs look nothing like those! I have a cpl extra cases...how much would you charge to machine them like you did?? |
Very nice Molak, This is what I originally wanted to do. Bit I lack the machine tools, and cutting the plastic bulk is much easier for me.
I am sure those cases would sell like hotcakes... |
Since Im from Argentina shipping costs and import duties (50%!!) will make those cases expensive!
I'll check how much that case cost in the nearest losi dealer to get an aproximate. But any machinist can do those. Maybe Mike could make them .. |

btw: LST cases are made from a quite soft material and are injected, which makes them porous... |

Hey there...

You should ask to Mistercrash.
But i think he used something like this http://rtlfasteners.com/RC/655.html |
Those could work Molak. The ones I used I found at Tower Hobbies. They are distributed by Dubro. They don't come with metric threads so I got some 4/40 brass inserts which I tapped with M3 threads and some 8/32 inserts which I tapped with M4 threads. A trick I use to screw the inserts in the plastic is to heat them a bit with the flame of a lighter or even a heat gun. I heat them up just enough so they are easier to screw in the plastic. I let it cool and then I can extract the screw that was used to insert the insert.
|
Otherwise Tony's Screws has 4mm ones. Next time I order from him I was going to pickup a set. He has nice deals on very high quality hardware.

I tried the Tony Screws style inserts and after a couple started twisting in the plastic preventing me from removing the part, I went back to the screw style inserts.

I know a guy ovAlmer on a different site that is trying out the Integy Alum. bulkheads. He said that they are working well so far. Would be a first for Integy....

I just got a new TQi receiver to replace my broken origional receiver. The origional one was from about 2 years back.
The problem is that the Traxxas TQ transmitter that used to be easy to bind to the older Traxxas receivers wont bind to the new TQi receiver I pressed the "set" button and held it while I turned on the trans (and held it down) then I pressed the link button on the TQi receiver, and powered up the receiver (and held the button down). Both lights stay blinking for ever. They never go green and solid. I tried letting go of the buttons when the lights flashed ............. still nothing I tried receiver first ................. nothing I tried transmitter first ............. nothing anybody else have this problem ............... is it possible that the old 2.4 TQ transmitter wont bind to the new TQi receiver ? |
http://traxxas.com/support/Traxxas-T...tibility-Guide
Looks like your old(er) TQ transmitter won't work with the TQi receiver I'm afraid, you're out of luck. |
Thanks for the link, that certainly explains it !!!
|
awesome thread.
i just picked up a erevo and have looked at a few of the pages and plan on working my way thru the entire thread to see what all is here and what has been done compared to what i am thinking about. |
