Monster Jam Fall Guy Truck

[SnoopMaxx]

Hey
I'm designing a Monster Truck,
It has an E-Maxx 2 speed gearbox with a 2350Kv motor,
3 servos and a 150A esc.
I use Twin Force axles, Clod Buster wheels, Nitro USA-1 and Rumbler tyres
It's 420mm long and has a Wheel Base of 335mm and the top cage will be separate, with spacers between the side and main chassis


Here are a few photos

Version 4 CAD drawing (should be the final version but that might change)


Prototype in 5mm black delrin and version 2 in 5mm alloy


Version 2 with short shocks


Version 2 with long shocks, gearbox and servos installed (Why I need the version 4)


2 speed shifting servo


Servo testing with reversing Y harness


F150 body




E-Maxx 3906 body




Test with ESC

Version 4




Time to build

Made a new motor mount, centered the motor over the gearbox and got the battery tray in the back now


The wiring is still a bit spaghetti like


and I got my Rumbler tyres

The template for the Cab section


Still need to make 2 more hub's




How I narrowed the wheels

I narrowed the wheel so it would clear the steering arm on the knuckle and at the same time get a slightly ballonish look

I can't even use the stock USA-1 wheels 'cos the steering arm on the knuckle is longer on the re-released Mad Force compared to the older version

Here's how it looks with the narrowed wheel



And if it was full width

I had allot of fun building a freestyle track
