Cpe Claw Build, #2 Prototype

[CPE MT]

Since we sell them, we prefer you just use adapters... :lol:

Give me the part# and link and i'll check it out send me a pm with payment info"thumbsup"

 

[cartronicshn]

Thanks Brett, i took your advice and mounted the spacers with a longer bolt and it works"thumbsup", here is some video, i still need to work on the links to get full turning radius but for me it is a great improvement.

I'm not used to BL (yet);-) that is very loud , but that rig looks nice so far . How did you cut the foams?

 

[cartronicshn]

What? can hear you over the screaming motors:lol:, actually the camera makes it sound much louder then it really is, i cut my foams on star shaped pattern with 12 points if i recall correctly, i'am thinking on buying some kreepy foams though.

I only ask cause I use the same wheels on my supers and it looked liked you have them uncut.

But thanx for the info. 8)

 

[cartronicshn]

Wheels are uncut....still;-)8)

that thing is rediculously loud...

Okey guys need a little help here, i had to take apart my front diff again:roll:, i had this failure twice in a less than 2 months:shock:, i know they are only plastic gears, but before i switch to either delrin or aluminum gears i want to get to the bottom of this:lol:. I have a theory, all this started happening since i switched to 6 tooth pinions, i think the added torque has increased the pressure point in the same place, in a bind under throttle, it breaks where the planetary gears should go, i guess the small gears in their place would add to structural integrity, what do you guys think?

 

[cartronicshn]

Okey to further illustrate my theory, i got some lockers i had laying around from M&L ART, i have a couple sets of these laying around for a while now, and apparently they have adressed this problem, from the pics you can tell the bigger locker provides support for the inside which the smaller locker doesn't, and this is exactly where the gear breaks.

 

[CPE MT]

Ours do that as well, with just a bit of a gap to allow for any differences in the gear itself. Best of all, they're on sale through the end of the month!

Nice lockers Brett"thumbsup", your lockers look very well thought out

 

[cartronicshn]

I have decided to change the body on my CLAW, so i got a proline body for my rig, i still haven't cut it for crawling duties, i just wanted to get some feedback on it.

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

wheres the CPE stickers?

 

[toy4crawlin]

What motors are you going with?

nice pics, but not on details

 

[cartronicshn]

wheres the CPE stickers?

I don't think i have anymore:-(, i used them all up on the previous body and that one got trashed:lol:, but i will look around for more.
toy4crawlin, the motors are JRH original outrunners with mamba 25 running 8 and 9 tooth pinions8)

 

[cartronicshn]

Well i have my rig ready, upgrades are, front mip cvds, proline body, blacked out proline beadlocks, rear motor dig, mpi 6v regulator, next will be some locker gears, mip cvd for the rear.

 

[some_guy]

mate haven't you driven this thing yet

your front steering rod isn't bent yet, mine lasted about the same time it took to type this

upgrade it, it's really easy

 

[cartronicshn]

Actually there is a couple of videos of it on this thread;-), i have been through gears, axle driveshafts, all the links you can imagine;-), i have better links which i haven't put on yet, as a matter of fact i have a bta carbon fiber for the front i will put back on, thanks for bringing this to my attention

I may have missed it, but have you had any issues with suspension tweaking out and wanting to fold in on itself on undercuts or tight situations. I keep having this problem with mine.
