Extended CRT.5 - MetalMan Style -
11.11.2007, 12:56 AM
Last night I started work on extending my CRT.5, after finally getting a sheet of 1/8" thick 6061-T6. The extension is a standard 1.5" over stock, to use stock center-rear dogbone in the front. The chassis also has the motor/diff offset 1/4" from center to the right side, and the chassis is 1/2" wider than stock (to let the battery have more room to lay down).
Servo will be an Airtronics 359, battery is a 3s 4000mah 20C, and I hope to throw a Neu 1509/1Y smooth can into it (but 9L to start). The chassis took 4 hours to make, but still needs servo mounts, battery mount, chassis cutouts (to reduce weight), and chassis bracing. I'm looking at making a battery holder based off of Serum's recently posted design.
