Hi all, I just got here and I figured I'd introduce myself. Not much to say but I got some CAD work to show. LMK what you think.

What program are you using? I've been thinking about getting one to play around with.

Welcome to the forums!

Nice work, what truck is that for? Also what program are you using?

sapper_triple6 - I used Inventor 10 for that one.

Sylvester - That is a custom 2.2 trophy truck in progress. The only real store bought components would probably be drivetrain, wheels and tires.

The truck isn't finished, and may never be. I'm considering it for my Wyotech Chassis fab project though.

EDIT: The two programs I use, Solidworks and inventor, can get pretty pricey.

Purdy!

Awesome work. Hopefully it'll end up getting finished. Should be really fun.

Mike.L · 02.25.2007, 03:49 PM

great job!

Thanks for the compliments! Now I'm gonna have to get this done. First, I got another project though. An electric twin motor TVP truck with a two speed and savage bulkheads. It'll probably be a similar layout to an 1/8 buggy drivetrain wise, but the TVP/Flat chassis hybrid thingamajig should make it interesting. I'll get pics of that as soon as it has more progress.

Thats awesome. I have Inventor 11 and i just know the basics about it, i wish i was that good with it. I need more practice.

New work!!! It's my project DuoMaxx, designed for two mambas. It's based on savage bulkheads, and it may have a 2-speed. It will run with two independent ESCs. If anyone has any advice on the motor setup, I'm all ears. I've never toyed with BL before and I know I'd be diving in head first. Don't call me crazy for doing it, I already know.:007: It's not finished either.

better use one XL can motor then 2 S can motors.
nice frame.

Well, for the price of two Mamba Max's, you can get a Mamba Max and a 1940. Should be plenty of power.

or for a little more $$$ you could go with the more powerful 1950
you may also want to try a neu motor
Nice work by the way i have very basic knowledge of CAD since i just started last week
