It’s coming along nicely! Well done integration on the dash with the power button too.

Jimmy's build along buggy thread
- Thread starter bgredjeep
- Start date
It's a concern, but I've found the fusion to run cool crawling so we'll see. I added 3 vent holes on each side of the motor, and there is a small air gap around the motor inside the printed case. I also printed the most recent model in petg so it can handle heat a bit better than pla I was using for the test pieces.
Took a few tries, but I've got the skid for the 3 gear buggy sorted out. I ended up needing to flip the axles to passenger side diff, which is fine since it's a wraith style axle. This is mostly for clearance with the rear mounted motor, but also just happened to be where the trans output landed when I got the spur where I wanted it. I should be able to mod the interior cover to clear the trans, and have room to mount the seat. I didn't expect to be able to fly use either of those in the 3 gear buggy.
It looks like it'll be tall enough to clear. The trans was raised up a bit with the angle I added to hit the hole in the motor plate. If it ends up needing it, I should be able to use Cole's wraith trans.
Also, the links you sent for this buggy showed up about 20 mins ago. Thanks again for that.
Oh yeah wraith trans is longer. I’ve got a few extended outputs here if ya end up needing one. But no problem on the links, hope they work out.
The 3 gear buggy is coming together nicely. I got the stainless links installed (thanks Marcus). I tossed in a brushed 550 motor as a placeholder and everything clears. I've started on the interior. The rear cover panel needed some work to clear the transmission (pictured), plus a slight adjustment to the dash (on the printer now). I also added a seat mount pedestal to the skid plate so the interior is almost complete.
