First real adventure in terms of an all aftermarket build. Built from parts from HPI, GCM, Panic Toys, Kershaw and a couple others.
Truck is an RB3, an E-savage derivative built primarily for racing. Main conversion is from GCM. Truck is pretty interesting in being an electronics AND tranny forward truck allowing a sort of pick up bed in the rear of the chassis for internally mounting the lipos. Drivetrain is all steel/alloy apart from the gears in the center tranny which are the stock tough plastic e-savage ones. Center driveshafts are quite possibly the stoutest I've ever seen. Servo is mounted outside the chassis to allow room for spur and steering components and has the happy side effect of keeping the servo cool. That Ace does get pretty hot turning LPRs. Truck is almost entirely cnc'd anodised black and red alloy, exceptions being bulkheads, center tranny cases, hubs and upper arms, which are delrin for lightness.
Truck is designed to be light as possible. Running 3s through a 3000kv ish motor and a mamba max. All up weight of the GCM development truck including wheels and tires, lipo, radio and motor was 3.7 kilos.
