MAXX finally running

[wallot]

what do you mean by what part?

no roll-overs where they were before. had one but itwas 180 degree turn withou braking :)

I mean; a normal anti-roll bar is made from spring steel, so something absorbs the different in height of the left/right wheels, so the truck still is capable of absorbing bumps in the track; the design you are using hasn't got any spring steel parts?

You get my point/question?

[wallot]

Look at the fullforce rc site
http://www.fullforcerc.com/help_page2.htm#2.5SWAYBARS

its mounted on the shocktower and there is a lever with bushings between right and left side

I see, Thanks for the link; I've seen that before thought; My thoughts on them; it's only preventing the wheels to go independent. A normal sway bar uses spring steel, so there can be individual wheel-movement. (needed for a wheel to follow a bumpy track) This design doesn't allow any individual wheelmovement between left and right. All parts are made from aluminum, which isn't a good spring, you get my point?

[wallot]

there is some independent wheel travel (about 2 cm before the other wheel goes up as well) as there is some play in the lever

it worked really nicely. i will try to make some videos next weekend
(just cutting onboard cam one )

Cool, greatly appreciated! Thanks.

onboard cam video

if my wife knew i put the camera on truck roofrack she would kill me :)

[Serum]

LOL.. Doesn't hurt to take a camera out for a drive.. I once used a GPS of a friend, the steering glitched, and after a cartwheel of about 25 360's we decided not to put equipment on the truck again..

I heard lots of good stories about onboard camera's, some small ones deliver a great quality.

[wallot]

Its nikon 7600. maybe some small panasonic with anti-shake will work will. i'll have a look it it works also during video mode

[Serum]

I know Casio has got the 'steady shot' during camera mode.

[suicideneil]

I dont think any amount of anti-shake/steady shot would help stabalize the video driving over ground that rough! Its good for helping take a photo if you have slightly shakey hands, but driving over gravel/bumps/ditches/ ridges in the road.... you'd need a miniature steadycam mount. *hmmm...*

That is some rather nifty & slick driving in the 1st vid, even if the tyres dont grip all that well. And its a great location too, I only wish I had somewhere that nice to drive- best I got is a giant carpark or giant flat field.... meh.

[wallot]

which vid u call 1st? starting to have so many of them.

once our new track is complete more will come.

[suicideneil]

I ment the vid of the maxx just running up and down around the start area of the BMX track- good music too.

[wallot]

that was before i went from 14 sanyo to 16 IB team cells -huge difference in torque (even 16 sanyo vs 16IB)

the BMX track was fun but when weather is nice too many bikers are there and we got bored doing insane jumps so changed our setup for track for this summer

i am so glad that warrior + 8XL were not in stock when i wanted my BL stuff and went for Mike's recommendation of Neu + Quark (though one died and i had to modify replacement to prevent overheating)

[wallot]

New shoes and wing

will see how it handles tomorrow (actually today :) ) on track
