Project Brushless Bazooka
 

Hey. Pretty soon I'll be posting pics of my Project in this forum about my touring car which I have decided to push it to another dimension of speed. Stay tuned.:)

Here's a pic of the chassis I'll be using:

As for the setup:
- 14 cells IB 3800
- 1930/5 turn motor
- Schulze 149.18 esc ( not shown).

The batts.

One last pic.

dang, tahts gunna be heavy as hell.

Quite an apprpriate project name.It's gonna need belted tyres i reckon.

I wont use any custom parts ( except for the battary straps) and I'll see how tough Tamiya's shaft driven machines are.

or untough as the case may turn out to be:L:

When's the test then?You aiming for 100mph or something?48p is going to have a hard time with that torque and weight.

Looks like you're going to the edge of bolt-on durability. One question. Where does the esc go?

Wow.. that is going to be FAST!

It looks like the ESC will go over the center spline..

On the rear of the upper deck. That is where I'm going to mount the esc. The test is going to take place a few weeks ahead- if God wills so-I will have to mount a 4cell receiver pack as well. A Venom speedometer is a must to measure the machine's speed. It's going to be practiced twice or thrice and then I'll put it on the shelf after repairs. I'm 100% sure it wont make it safe with out atleast a broken drive shaft.

MAN YOU CRAZY!!!! lol that thing isnt gonna be funny, you HAVE to get us a vid when its done:)

Absolutely, Sylvester. A video clip is already in my mind.

video clip of it going of a 10ft half-pike at 60mph??? lol, would love ot see that.

I wasn't sure of the size of the controler (heat sink wise), but i thought of that after i posted. very nice car Captian

That's a Yokomo, right? Thing looks cool as it is, all the cells hanging off it only mean that it'll be going faster! I can't help but think that a lipo version would be better though, but not everyone has the cashola to embrace them (I'm poor too).

Think it's a Tamiya ;) TB Evo IV maybe?? Not very up to date with tamiya tho -lol-

spewin tho - i dont think i'll be round to see the result :(

Wow, insane car! Lipo would be a nice option there.

It is a Tamiya TB Evolution IV MS version. The rear diff incorporates ceramic balls which I think are going to prevent the diff rings from melting with the balls or atleast the balls wont deform, because of extreme heat. The car has a set of ceramic ball bearings and to tell you the truth the car does not go much faster than when it is with the regular ones, but the drive train is surely spinning freely and smoothness is at its peak. I still need to make some mods on the lower deck to make the three cells hold tight to the chassis.

Nice!!!

it's screaming..

GET ME LIPO GETMELIPOOOOOOOOOOOW

nice car
its going to be like a brick i would hate to get hit by it.
YOU NEED TO GET LIPOS

I dont know, but a 4s 6400 lipos would be more than enough, right. Two scorpion 6400 2s and a scorpion charger would cost some 450-500 dollars or more. I'd rather keep it for my future Maxx.

Any updates?

Nice car!!!! yes any updates on a hi res video clip yet? did you need to change bearings or spur gear? btw what’s the speed limit on the venom speed meters?

I have no intentions to change the spur, but I upgraded the diff balls from steel to ceramics and also the whole bearing kit from steel to ceramics except the steering's bearings. I've been doing some cleaning lately and the thing have turned to like new. I'll post some new pics soon. Also, I have that chilling feel in my chest that makes me hesitate to run it.

Old post lol

But what ever happened with this thing?
