Very nice and good looking, is it your design? No? I know It´s just a concept I just want to say it, a front bulkhead in the rear will result in negative caster:neutral: but maybe it won´t mess the handling up that much.. And for those who don´t want to use rear wheel steering, where are they going to attatch their rear pushrods?:oops: Neither can I see how the motor is supposed to be mounted with a 3.3 gearbox:whistle:

BUT! I really really like the design! It´s good looking! And as you said, it´s just a concept:mdr: This is exciting:party:

Give us mooooooooore!

Cool concept, it has my interest, I loved my gmaxx chassis, when I had it, and would love to have a one of these as well.... can you provide any more info MC?

wow, that looks amazing.

No this is not my design at all, someone else came up with it. Any criticism or comments shouldn't be directed at me but at the designer. And you'll have to communicate those in French. This was taken from a post I saw on the website from France. Revopowaaa This would be the thread where I found the pics. Thread.

This is with the 3.3 tranny.

I thought it was interesting and I'm sure that if he ever decided to manufacture this chassis, he would be nice enough to make a version with front wheel steering only.

Thanks Mc. I can´t belive that he is just 19 years old! I feel ashamed when I look at my build now:party:

I received the Kershaw dogbones for the ERBE yesterday. They are 5 mm thick so they are as beefy as the LST XXL shafts and they ''look'' good. The rear shaft barely fit, it should be a couple mm shorter. The front one didn't fit at all. It is too long. I had to Dremel the slots in the diff cups to make the shaft go deeper so that it could finally fit. Even with that done, it is a little too tight for my taste. This shaft should be 3 mm shorter at least. Being too long and fitting as tight as they do on the length, they don't give a lot of room for chassis flex. The rain has finally stopped up here so I will get my punch control to zero and start doing repeated standing back flips to see if a true 8th scale drive train holds up running the ERBE on 6S.

MC I had to grind the ends of the rear dogbones to get it to fit...the front fit like a gove...Ive been using them for many months now without problem....I hope you have the same luck i have had!

Good to know that they are tough. I wonder how many standing back flips can be done with a couple 3S 5000 mah Hyperions G3s :lol:

I'll have to keep count.

I charged up my two 3S 5000 mah Hyperion G3s and went out to test this 8th scale drive train I have. The slipper is locked (as tight as I can get it without breaking it) and the MMM punch control set at 0. I was curious to find out how many standing back flips I could get from the Hyperions.

I still don't know how many standing back flips can be done with those Hyperions. I stopped at 100. Yes! 100 consecutive standing back flips! Or attempts I should say, they were not all beautiful to watch :lol:

Most of them had the truck land on the nose, or wing, or the front of the body, or sending the truck cart wheeling. But what is important here is that every of those 100 standing back flips were done the same way. On the extremely high bite surface of the new sidewalks in front of my house, going to full throttle from a stand still.

I lost body clips, the front body posts are grinded off, the rear wing broke and my F650 body is absolutely done for. So what's the verdict on the 8th scale drive train?












































Drum roll.....























































Everything looks fine! The CVD shafts, the drive cups, the center dogbones, it all held up to this grueling testing I did today. I'm very happy.

I am glad to see all your hard work has paid off. This thread as always has been a huge help. I am going to start doing my lst diff swap very soon I have gone through 4 Revo diffs in a very short period of time and it sad. I hope my swap comes out as nice as your has.

I really like you 1/8 drivetrain! I'll do something like that on my ERBE.

I just wonder why don`t you use a set of RPM axle carriers?? You need no mods to fit those bearings on them ..

I ran RPM carriers once, I hated them. The pivot balls would pop out of them worst than the old style Traxxas carriers. And I don't recall that they use a 8X16 outside bearing. I think it's a 15 mm OD bearing. But the plastic of RPM parts is so soft, you could probably press a 16 mm bearing in that 15 mm hole. :mdr:

I thought about the Tekno carriers, they use a 16 mm OD outer bearing but I don't think there's any way of making a 21 mm OD inner bearing in them.

Some pics of the LST XXL CVDs installed on my ERBE with stock axle carriers.

The middle pic shows that the pivot balls are a bit too far out outside the A arms and that's because the diff output cups I installed before taking the pics were too long. I changed the cups for shorter ones that came with the Kershaw dogbone set and now the pivot balls are screwed all the way in the arms the way I like them.

Mr. Crash, You would be able to tell me the Distance between the Stock holes on the Axle? From where the CVD Pin goes through the axle to where the Hex Pin goes through the axle? And distance between the hole you drilled in the axle and CVD Pin hole.? And Lastly. Length of your CVD Pin to Pin. I have been tinkering with some 17mm Hubs and 8mm Axles. I appreciate your time...

Thank You Sir...
