XTM X-Terminator BL and Lipo 1/8 Buggy - 07.06.2005, 08:10 PM

Hope this is in the right place :W:

So anyways, this is my BL and Lipo buggy with some custom stuff.




It has:
-Blue Bird BMS621mg servo
-Custom modified upper deck (now only includes a mount for the servo)
-Hitec 75mhz FM RX
-Warrior 9918 (that I burnt out yesterday :mad: )
-Feigao 8L motor (bit too hot for this setup)
-Custom slipper clutch design (read below)
-Monster GT 52t
-Custom aluminum center supports/motor mount for use with the center "transmission"
-Industrial strength Velcro for mounting the battery(s)
-Ofna rear "Super Shocks" with TiNitride shafts and teflon coated bodies
-Custom made BEC unit

The center slipper clutch was based off of the one for the Ofna Dominator. The reason why I made my own is that it costs a lot less, and I can better customize it. The slipper clutch itself is from the Revo, but the spur gear I am using is a Monster GT 52t one. The holes on it line up well with the holes already there on the slipper clutch unit. The spring is one that I bought from http://www.mcmaster.com where I often buy things in bulk (like bags of 100 screws or nuts). The collar is just a 6mm steel collar with a set screw. The center shaft is a modified one from the HPI R40. I tighten the slipper clutch by sticking one end into the vice, and use a hand clamp (the kind that you pump) to put the necessary pressure on the spring. Then I tighten the set screw down, and everything stays tight until I loosen the set screw. Here is a pic of it:


Now for some miscallaneous pics:
This one shows how low the motor is (about 5mm):

This one shows the center unit (before I had the slipper clutch):
