**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed** - Page 21 - RC-Monster Forums

As soon as I get my UE diff outputs and UE 8mm CVDs from Lito, I will be able to complete my SMG! Well, I also have to get my Tekin RX8 ESC & Tekin T8 2250kV Motor as well!

Kcaz25, I am not going to mount my motor on the transmission, so I won't have to worry about flexing the transmission...I am going to custom-build a motor-mount to mount the motor as low as possible in front of the spur gear. I am also giving delrin spur gears a try, to see how well they hold up to extra-hard pinions and extreme brushless power!

Truck is looking good, River!

Edit: I have a question, do you guys think delrin body posts would be strong enough? I have like 6 feet of the correct diameter delrin rod that I would like to use.

Oh, I also forgot to mention, I am going to be making some upper plates and lower plates (chassis) pretty soon out of a few different materials, like; 3.2mm 6061 aluminum, 2.8mm 7075 aluminum, 2.5mm titanium, and 3.0mm carbon-fiber. Neil (suicideneil) and a couple others notices the top servo plate flexing when using high-torque servos (stock top plates are only 2.0mm 6061 aluminum), so I decided to remedy that. I will also be making lower chassis as well out of; 3.2mm 6061 aluminum, 2.8mm 7075 aluminum, 2.5mm titanium, and 3.0mm carbon-fiber.

Delrin rod would be perfect for body posts, its a wonderful material aparently.

Chadworkz · 08.22.2009, 03:01 PM

Yea, I have like 100 lbs of delrin scraps I got from my friend when he worked at a local machine shop...pieces from blocks 1" x 1" x 1" to sheets 1" x 12" x 24" to blocks 6" x 12" x 36", and all kinds of stuff inbetween. Most of it is black, but a lot is white, green, and blue!

Heck, if you've got that much chop some of it up and flogg it on ebay- cross drill it for body clips and mouting screws, then you could make a tidy little profit, especially if you did some longer ones that are hard to find.

Delrin sheets are also great for custom battery trays and rx/esc plates etc, you could be sitting on a little gold mine there dude...

Yeah I'll see if I can set that up for ya River. You know I'm running another battery don't you? Closer to the front. That isn't a lone 4s. I run a pair of 2s packs. You would be right if I was only running one 4s in the rear.

Vids up later 2day.

Anxiously waiting! Lets see some good stuff!!!!

I got a couple more parts for my build as well...

Kcaz25 · 08.24.2009, 02:16 PM

Well the vids didn't turn out as well as I thought they would. I swear we missed some of the best stuff. Its mostly me turning at high speed. Oh and I forgot my body clips, I had enough faith that even if I did flip the truck could take it without the body. I know, blah blah #1 rule of RC: never run with the body off... lol You can see in one of the clips that I do roll it but no harm is done. (Those FLM towers I got from Mark are tough as nails!) All of the swerving/wagging is on purpose. Enjoy.

Bottoming out aside, I think its tuned very well.

This truck handles pretty good also.Well, accept for the occasional bottoming out also.

Kcaz25 · 08.26.2009, 10:32 AM

Now you're just pissing me off.

ANGRY-ALIEN · 08.26.2009, 10:42 AM

Did you make videos on surfaces... like dirt or asphalt... I think the grass was a little high to make any evaluations from those vids...
it looks quick, but i can't really see the suspension working.

Just trying to make a point. dont get mad, its all in fun

It does handle good in the grass though, lets see it in the dirt.

nitrostarter · 08.26.2009, 10:42 AM

It does turn and handle rather well Zack. Nice full speed turns there without flipping, but do realize that you are sliding on grass.

Overall I think the truck looks like its running great. Its kinda hard to say any more than that since the video is speed running in the grass with a couple bump, not to mention that you maxx was off in the distance most of the videos.

Go to the track out there and see how it handles and jumps!
