"ATRaX R." Spider Racer

[maxbonv]

im just gonna put it out there but if you ever get tired of this rig ill sell my organs to get it when its on the market!

When you drive Pure Spider , you can not ever get tired... :mrgreen:

WOW. I'm still confused as to how the axle height changes. How does the servo connect to the axle? Is it independent from the front suspension? I've never seen this before on a small scale vehicle.

The steering servo is fixed to the front axle as a Axial SCX,
all the rest of the mechanical parts comes from another planet 8)

... Pure Spider planet, made in Motor Valley :mrgreen:

AMAZING! You've got to be very pleased with what you've accomplished with that beautifully designed crawler.

Thank you guys for your compliments ;-)

The new has started on a new body and new mechanical details,
the real news coming next week.....

The results so far are good :mrgreen:

This winter I decided to buy new wheels and anodize the older I had.
For anodizations I chose colors and execution methods.

Today in a Long Run Race (similar Ultra4 style) my Atrax Spider Racer
has allowed me to place 2° in a Single Race and 2° in a race in couple together with the driver JohnnyBravo

I like the tires you drive ,are these Flat Irons?

`how much do they cost

It is not a cost issue, the first batch of 8 pieces is sold out,
the next batch is expected in January 2017....

Now we come to the body, for the final of the Italian Extreme Championship in 2017 I decided to reproduce the look
of a vehicle seen recently in Europe Ultra4 races that hit my attention,
here is the muse:

Tests colors and graphic simulated with the pc :

Here is the result :

Sunday, October 2nd was held the Final race of the Italian Championship Scaler Extreme,
the best 40 drivers selected from regional championships they competed over rocky ground in a beautiful location
in a places of central Italy, Specchio (Parma).

Some pictures of the location :

Really hard trails, the word Extreme is just representative ;-)

Atrax Spider Racer worked out great , balancing and reliability perfect,
and the victory came with huge satisfaction

What foams are you using in the Badlands/ Rock Beast tires ??

Did you narrow the Badlands ??

Does using the Rock Beasts sidewall stiffen the tires a little ??

Do they perform better with the Rock Beast side walls ??

I own a set of 2.2'' Badlands and want single stage foams and contacted Crawler Innovations but there not familiar with the tires

I have a Honcho with Wraith AR60 axles and 1.9'' are not tall enough or wide enough, and just don't look right

The Badlands are 5.06'' tall and that is a good height and width for my Honcho, all of my other 2.2'' are 5 1/4'' to 5 1/2'' and they are too tall

So I'm curious what foams you are using and the size of the foams you used

 

[maxbonv]

What foams are you using in the Badlands/ Rock Beast tires ??

The foams that use of all the tires I own, are homemade or derived from memory foam.

Did you narrow the Badlands ??

Yes, have been reduced both width and diameter.
The rules Extreme in Italy allows a maximum diameter of 4,76".

Does using the Rock Beasts sidewall stiffen the tires a little ??

Do they perform better with the Rock Beast side walls ??

I used only once the Rock Beast, in an artificial track during a trade fair.

For my personal experience, the perfect foams for maximum performance are very difficult to find on the market,
there is great variability determined by the vehicle weight and weight distribution, as well as the type of tires that are used.

For my Race Scaler Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Extreme,
i prefer to build dual stage foams bespoke,
but don't worry, i'm antique ..... :lmao:

Thanks for answering

I won't be competing any time soon

I use normal size tires, that have not been modified

So maybe I can find some over sized foams and trim them to fit

Need to do some looking online and see what I can find

I'm cheap

I'm sure for good performance and stock tires, not extreme,
on the market you can find valid foams, Crawler Innovation and now Proline, have available interesting double stage foams "thumbsup"

What is the wheelbase of your rig? Fantastic build by the way.
