Tha works too :P

[Candyman2]

lol, yeh i know what your saying but it'll cost nothing to cut my existing one in half, slide a bit of steel tube over it and weld it at the right length.

Looks good.

[suicideneil]

Does indeed- I like the upper deck design, definately worth going the extra mile to have a stunning home made chassis if you're capable.

Im alright, planning on taking my pet truck for a walk next week now the good weather has finally arrived, give my Medusa 36-80-2000kv a test run on 5s lipo... should be interesting...

[Superbasher]

Didn't know you were still around Candyman. Sounds like you have got a good project going! :)

[Candyman2]

Course im still around

Im looking at a medusa 80mm 1600kv now, this Neu I got cheap is a 2y 1100kv, needs something like 30v to get the most out of it. I might have to swap it after a test run.

Made some sides to stop the cells flying out and started to trim the top deck to shape.

Nice. I use the 1515/2Y with 8S lipos and it is a beast without the heat lol.

trimmed it a bit more and tapped and drilled a few holes





got these battery strap things from 3racing, pretty good and light so having a bit of a redesign.

[Dagger Thrasher]

Looking good! Those 3racing strap look pretty sweet, too. I just can't get over how beefy that motor mount is, though! How thick is it?

[Candyman2]

10mm, thats not going to bend in a hurry.

[Dagger Thrasher]

Crikey...and I thought the mount on my Havoc was thick (6mm). You ain't gonna have any problems with that.

Looks really good man. But those nimh's have to go. Nimh is history. What mini lathe do you use, its looks as if it does a great job. By the way are you using 6061 or 7075?

I'm also interested in hearing about this mini-lathe. I'm really tired of making things out of tin snips and a hammer.

Or sending out a ton of cash to a manufacturer to make your parts for you....
