Diffrunner concept - Page 3 - RC-Monster Forums

Great, thanks Luc. Those look perfect.

Now for starters I think I should do the outrunner idea first as this idea is not really proven yet, so no sense in getting Neu to make a custom motor... yet.

I think a plate can be machined and screwed onto the outrunner body, then these diff housings screwed into place on the plate from the diff side.

The Scorpion 4035 - 460Kv. I think is what I had in mind? IIRC, I would run it on 6s lipo, and with a truggy setup would equate to a ~40mph top speed, perfect for my local track. (well, 120miles away...)

I have to get Alibre Design up and running again, I haven't used it in pretty well 2 years now. Might have to relearn how to use it.

I use Autodesk Inventor 9...and MS Paint.

I really like Alibre CAD, it's very user friendly and is just as powerful as 'bigger' CAD programs like AutoCAD, Autodesk, etc. The bare bones CAD program is only $97 too. However, I haven't used it in awhile and I can't seem to get into my account, and Alibre gave me a new password but still no go.

Alright, I got all the Alibre V10 downloaded, went to install, but it says I need JVM (java virtual machine) installed before I can install. I DL'ed the one at Alibre but it is the wrong version (I am using Windows 7 Ultimate), and just closes. I went to Java website to get it, but I can't seem to find JVM for Windows 7, all I can find if just 'Java'. Do I need VT enabled in the CPU (Core2Duo E8400) in BIOS?

ANY help is appreciated, just point me in the right direction, I am great with PC's, just not with this type of stuff.

It's right there, either 32 or 64 bit flavors.

JVM = Java Virtual Machine. This is the engine that actual runs the compiled Java application. It is individually compiled for each OS/hardware as it is compiled to machine language. Java applications are compiled into intermediate language that is processed by the virtual machine. Same thing as MS' .NET and many other forerunners.

JRE = Java Runtime Engine. This is essentially the packaging from Sun (or Oracle or Sun or Oracle... joy) that contains the JVM. It is intended for consumer use.

JDK = Java Development Kit. This is the full monte, the JRE, source, tools, etc. for developing applications in Java.

Okay, I guess I already installed the latest JVM. Why is Alibre still saying that I don't have JVM installed??

I sent an incident report to Alibre about it, hopefully they reply back tomorrow about it. I should be able to get it running on Windows 7 don't you think?

Well I just noticed that Alibre DID in fact reply back to me and I never saw it until now. What they told me is that the V10 Alibre design I have is not compatible with Windows 7, and that I have to upgrade to V12. Well I guess that is not too bad, as it's only $97 to buy it.

I'll let you know when I get it up and running, although it might not be until next week.
