J1A1H XXL Torque Monster Buildup........

[Jahay]

further update... getting there now

Tiny update.. things are moving slow but at least they are moving...

I have now managed to mount the motor to the plate. Wasnt the cleanest job, but it does the job. Some pics for all yall :)

In this image... you can see where i had to cut some slots in the tvps for the motor mounts to slide down enough to provide the right mesh.


You can see what i mean in this pic below


All connected with a nice mesh


You can see how thick the alloy plate is... must offer a little structural rigidity to the tvps considering i have chopped them up a little bit


This is what it looks from the outside...
I know i know, it ugly... But what i will do now as its all fitted... i will sand the edges smooth and angle them towards the chassis, and i will paint any alloy bits black for now, so it all blends with the tvps. Anyway this will be covered by the lipo boxes soon... 9s here i come :)


What it looks like on the inside all assembled


And my new Rear drive shaft sent from Chris at GCM... Thanks buddy!!! arrived quickly and fits perfectly! Legend!


I had to cut a little away from my batter tray as the thick centre part was hitting it slightly... not a big issue though and was expected.



What was causing me big problems was finding a strong enough, and the correct length which was long enough to give me full steering, but short enough as to clear the motor mount.. so i decided to make my own. Yes its ugly again, but as long as it does the job... i dont care...




Still waiting on my alloy bulks and other little things... but its coming together!!! Enjoy :)

all the alloy is looking badly scratched up... maybe get everything re anodized after i bash the hell out of it :)
