Zerobricks Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I started working on this beast: Front axle so far: Its a portal axle with extremely close steering point of the wheels, which lies on the inner edge. This means axle can be steered with RC unit's mechanical ouput. Edited March 17, 2015 by Zblj Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Sorry for bad photo, my camera is dead ATM... Will try making better pictures of hopefully finished chassis tomorrow. Quote
VKTechnic Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Looks like some nice 4-link suspension you have there, and also a very interesting wheel/tire combo. Looking forward to more pictures Quote
grum64 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sorry for bad photo, my camera is dead ATM... At least you have a good excuse. I just take bad photos Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Here's the finsihed rolling chassis Its fast and powerful, the rear springs will be replaced with softer black ones. Quote
darksheep Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 How does it work , are you not worried about twisting that long white axle , may be a shorter one made up of 2 with a connector might be better . Quote
Thirdwigg Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Are you going to make it Neon Green? I kind of feel like you should. Quote
KirTech LAB Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 It's hard to see, which output of motor do you utilize? Quote
rm8 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Wow. Low grafity center is very good start:) Next step - good body. Hope you'll desgin it rom scratch, don use previos 6x6 version;) Check this http://vk.com/topic-40661157_29855548 Quote
Lakop Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Looks good so far but that white axle might need some support along the line. H Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 I used the fast motor outputs with gear ratio 1:1 or 1:3. Wish I lad lime bricks, but Its gonna have to be gray or white. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 How does it work , are you not worried about twisting that long white axle , may be a shorter one made up of 2 with a connector might be better . Awesome job! but i had the same observation as darksheep. Not only is that axle really long, but unsupported. Too much torque on it and it may twist or pop right out? Quote
DamonMM2000 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Nice, another off-roader? That's awesome, it's actually probably my favorite class of vehicles. I wish I had an RC unit Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 I will shorten the front drive axle, but it needs room to move along with the front axle. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Perfect. It really is a great model to create. Looking @ the picture from the original post, the lime green one, the ground clearance is outrageous. It really stands out. I'll bet that will be a major focus on the redition of the real thing in your model. Quote
Nalyd997 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Lookin good! Bit too narrow for my taste but that is just what the original is like. Why did you ditch the older rims though? They would give better steering geometry wouldn't they? Anyway cool stuff as always! Quote
Zerobricks Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I lowered the roof by a stud, looks much better now... I used normal hubs, because the old design while really awesome, had problems with wheels sliding off axles. Edited April 5, 2015 by Zblj Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Very cool G!!! Wouldn't the small slopes look better at the front? Quote
Auranapse Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 The 4x4 version of a 6x6 version of a 4x4 car. XD I like how it looks, though not very sure about the red. Would love to see how it performs. Also any pictures of the back? :D Quote
Milan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 This is very different fro your usual builds, regarding total covering body, and I must say, I like it very much! Quote
