Posted March 13, 201410 yr Hello everyone, Thought I would share my quick build Tatra to test my asymmetrical half axle setup. Turned out to be quite good surprisingly. The body work was very quickly built, inspired more by the shape of the Tatra T813. Specs: 20cm (H) x 20cm (W) x 38cm (L) Weight 1.910kg 2 x XL for Drive 1x Servo for Steering I also wanted to make it blue, and colourful just like the trial trucks.

March 13, 201410 yr Whats up with the stacked gear racks in the steering mechanism? I like the blueness.
March 13, 201410 yr very good looking ! warning: the title of your topic is not legal.. it will renamed to: 8110 modified !!
March 13, 201410 yr I take it your using a V2 Rx receiver with the twin XL motors. Have you ran into issues with the battery thermaling out or have you modded the battery box with a higher rated resistor?
March 13, 201410 yr Title is misleading...it is not just another Tatra. It is great tatra. Nice drivetrain!
March 13, 201410 yr Author Oh thanks for the great feedback guys. Whats up with the stacked gear racks in the steering mechanism? I like the blueness. Cheers! I had to use 2 together cos the axles are offset, and thats the only way to able both wheels to turn the same radius. I take it your using a V2 Rx receiver with the twin XL motors. Have you ran into issues with the battery thermaling out or have you modded the battery box with a higher rated resistor? Yes I'm using V2, and no I haven't modded the thermal settings on the battery box. Generally I don't have too much of a problem with that, but with my hot rod geared 1:3 if I drove forwards backwards 3 times it would stall. With this Tatra if a "tire" got caught in between the wheels, it would stall. Title is misleading...it is not just another Tatra. It is great tatra. Nice drivetrain! Thank you very much.
March 13, 201410 yr i was ironizing on what happened to the title of my topic... once up on a time called "just another crawler" ps: i love your signature ! Edited March 13, 201410 yr by astakos

March 13, 201410 yr Author Very nice... Just one question: Which and whre can we find the BB? its located between the the servo and Xls, if you look at the chassis pic, you can just see a red lever, thats the on off. Standard battery box was used. The blue is hot. It's always nice to see another Tatra. How well does it turn? Not very well!!! If you can see how to improve it, im all ears! And thanks. It's BLUE! That's not something that we see very often. NICE. v/r Andy Thank you very much! I was unsure how much of a cab I could make with the blue that I had.
March 13, 201410 yr Very nice design... now time to improve it - they needs differentials on axles... ;)
March 13, 201410 yr Just another good looking blue tatra, eh? Good work. Edited March 13, 201410 yr by dr_spock
March 15, 201410 yr Author Thanks for the nice comments and feedback guys. Very nice design... now time to improve it - they needs differentials on axles... ;) I agree, with diff lock, but that is for my next Tatra! EV3noob You are correct. From wich set do the Blue rims come? I'm not too sure actually, I picked mine up from 4 diff sellers on BL, quite cheap. I just thought they look sweet! and very much like a Trial truck. hehe
