Short video of the Bomb-Proof Products truck!!!

[lutach]

Hi everyone,

I just made a few videos of the Bomb-Proof Products truck. One with 22.2v full throttle and the other with 36v not even half throttle. If only I had a center motor mount I could really do some real testing with the 44.4v. Hope you all enjoin this short videos. I will also be posting this in other forums.

Nice!!!!!
A123 Batteries Soo BIG. How do you make them fit.
Any videos driving on pavement?

Wow, now lets see it on the street or dirt. I can't even imagine how fast it would go on 44.4 volts.

If I can get a motor mount made that will put the motor in the middle of the chassis, I can make the packs fit in there, but for now I can only do test it like that.

Are these trucks on sale yet?

[lutach]

Bomb-Proof still has parts to make them here is the e-mail racegrafix@aol.com. I'm going to modify the battery tray to fit the 22.2v lipos in the truck. I have to see if I can get a BK 3695 to run it. Hopefully Mike can see this and talk to BK to see if they can lend a hand.

Luciano, I'm gonna e-mail Mike tonight when I get a chance. He should be able to get it done for around $75 or so since 2 will be machined at the same nice.

That sounds really good.

I found a way to mount the 36v pack in the truck. I also took out the 22 teeth pinion and went with a 14 teeth one. If everything goes well with the 14, I'll switch back to the 22 for some speed runs.

Here is the pictures with the 36v pack in the truck:

I just came back from doing a quick test run. The spur, pinion gears are fine. The front diff is fine, but the rear locked on me. The ESC and motor only got warm after a little over 5mins. of running. I'm thinking of installing a 16 teeth pinion, but I'll probably go with the 22.

Is it ballanced on each side of the chassis relatively similarly?

[lutach]

It is somewhat balanced. I couldn't get my video camera to work. I will see if I can borrow my friend's camera tomorrow.

Here is a short video of the truck in a small parking lot. I hope you guys like it. I'll make a new one, but with much more space.

Those phaltline tires seem to have good grip on tarmac.. Good to know.

It looks pretty quick :)
