About a million tiny changes later and the steering works albeit needing bent track rods , now just have to settle on shocks, kind of had my heart set on not cutting up the chassis but I don't think I can do it in a satisfactory way other than trimming the top the shock mounts a bit . 20220716_16312...

I like that very reminiscent of the MRP PRO 110

The amp draw goes hand in hand with temperature increase , its easy to wind on a lot of timing to make a motor run faster but it gets very hot therefore inefficient and the motor cooks and dies , there's a sweet spot with timing where it increases rpm without drastically increasing amp draw , the tr...

Lil bit more , made a start on the rear , right now it's locked solid at the rear as I still have the original rear suspension mounts in place , the wheel base was shortened by about 15mm by the front arms so my next trailing arms will be 15mm longer to get it back to the right length , it's hard to...

15mm longer arms and the gearbox is free floating :D need to make a panhard rod to stop lateral movement , top right arm is pretty close to the motor so I'll move it outward 4mm at the axle end , the arms came out more parallel than I planned anyway , the JRX2 arms flare outward more and that's the ...

Bonkers

A little silent movie of the rear suspension , the Panhard rod is some old butchered parts I had laying about but I'll model one up for Thingiverse . There is a little lateral movement that I tried to show at the end of the clip , it's caused by the arm flexing , as this is home printed I kept the i...

I have boxes of test parts like that or I used to , now I just bin them before they build up , looking very nice so far , great job .

Outch !

What you gotta remember is scr8p usually votes on the last day just incase it needs a tie breaker , I wonder who gets his vote this month :?: He got my vote so I'm happy no matter . Yeah, I usually never vote unless it's really necessary. I also never vote for my own entry. So I think if this would...

BOING !!!!

Got the hopper body fitted , needed the cutout for the motor elongated , also got some temporary front shocks fitted , really crappy WLtoys A959 shocks but the fit is good as is the spring rate . Just got to fit some electronics and I can give her a whirl. :D IMG_20220725_210131_218.jpg IMG_20220725...

Spot on

Little video , still hopping I'm pretty sure its just over sprung , it bounces on a static drop , could be the tires as well , the front is working well though .

Made adapters for 12mm hex wheels , fitted the FC axle for the spur gear , made a light weight pinion gear cover and replaced the oil fill cap with a small piece of Lexan . IMG_20220726_213105_445.jpg That's 52g reduction or a tad over 10% , it's pitch dark now but I'll give it another test drive in...
