Lakop Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I like when it topples over. It has some speed down that small bumpy hill. H Quote
kevman Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Hi all, I came across this transfer case on MOC pages, I was wondering how it works, can someone explain it ? What is hte benefit of it ? Quote
skppo Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Hi all, I came across this transfer case on MOC pages, I was wondering how it works, can someone explain it ? What is hte benefit of it ? I'm not sure but it seems to connect the front and rear axle drives together, creating a sort of a centrer diff-lock. Quote
kevman Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I'm not sure but it seems to connect the front and rear axle drives together, creating a sort of a centrer diff-lock. So I guess if one side gets stuck it will transfer power to the other side. gonna give this a shot later. Quote
rm8 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) So I guess if one side gets stuck it will transfer power to the other side. gonna give this a shot later. Stucked axle cant help other. Because it stuck:) but if one wheel rotates free without contacting with ground, and other stops - Diff transfer power to another axle Edited September 30, 2013 by rm8 Quote
JM1971 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 A diff lock or limited slip diff would be better, you could place to small circle of thin card under the center cog of the diff to create resistance. Gonna try that Quote
Rishab N Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Thats cool. Ill have to try that when I open my 41999 Quote
Rockbrick Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) good idea you could also (and i've seen it done elsewhere) run one motor for the drive and 2 servos for the steering then you can control the crawl, FWS, RWS, 4WS etc...

aol000xw Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 My guess is that both motors always power both axles, . Besides that both diffs are on the same side so one axle needs an additional cog so both drive in the same direction, hence the indirect connection between both. Quote

If you re-orient the diff case on one side I bet you could use a direct connection right ? Quote
Fatteh Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 If you re-orient the diff case on one side I bet you could use a direct connection right ? Wouldn't that result in the axles turning in opposite directions? Quote
kevman Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Wouldn't that result in the axles turning in opposite directions? hmm you might be right... Quote
zux Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Wouldn't that result in the axles turning in opposite directions? Nope. There are two small 8T gears in the middle, which make rotation for both front and back axles in required directions. Not sure how strong this solution is. Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I searched this thread for some advantages choosing Power Puller wheels. They seem to make it better at climbing obstacles, and giving the Boss bigger ground clearance and a lower center of gravity. I wonder if the L motors will be too much stressed, though....

Lost_In_Noise Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I've just done the same myself, what I meant what is there any difference in performance when using these tires. When I tried it I couldn't see any real difference, besides PP wheels being better at moving through a blanket. Uphill climbing was about the same for both alternatives... And of course it looks a LOT better: That sad 8466 in the back..... Its glory days are over. Edited October 6, 2013 by Lost_In_Noise Quote

I feel that it slowed thecrawler down a bit with a minimal increase in climbing ability Quote
kevman Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I am almost done with my air suspension and gear chang mechanism. Details will follow soon, but it is based on fr3dpivo' s YouTube video for the 9398. Quote
bricky300 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I feel that it slowed thecrawler down a bit with a minimal increase in climbing ability In theory the oposite should happen because of the bigger diameter of the PP tires... Quote
aol000xw Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 In theory the oposite should happen because of the bigger diameter of the PP tires... But those weight a ton. Quote
kevman Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 But those weight a ton. yup. I see no advantage to them. they have to be mounted backwards because of they offset and I actually prefer the look of the original wheels to them. Quote
Pyropetepete Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Built as per the instructions. Them found a mod for the 4x4 crawler to speed it up. Think it's posted here as well. Defo faster. Not as strong to climb. YouTube has one fitted with 4 L motors. Quote
Foton Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Cool, this look like much more "macho"! Quote
kevman Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Here's a video of my 41999 with an adjustable suspension and gear change using an autovalve- MOD inspired by fr3dpivo's video on youtube and the auto valve is Zblj's design. Edited February 5, 2014 by kevman Quote
