I think you should use some more zip ties. And it's easier to keep secret tires a secret if they aren't in the picture "thumbsup"

Looks good Jeff, looking forward to seeing it soon.

I was waiting for someone to post about the tires. I'll give you a hint though....... Unbelievable!!!!!

....I don't like how the left (in the pic) tie rod sticks out so far. COULD you not flip the right servo and run a short rod to the knuckle? Or is the verticle height difference too much?

Yeah, theres too much height difference. But the knuckles are flipped and the steering rods are way higher than they were.

My god, I never want to setup something like this again, but man o man does it turn now!! Almost 700 oz in of torque in the front of this rig. I like to never got the linkages to clear each other. The mixing was a pain in the ass, but its finished. Now I just need to rewire the rest of the truck. I now have to run 2 castle bec's to keep up with the thirsty servos. Here's the pics and a short flic. http://media.putfile.com/015-85

 

[dkingston]

OMG! that is some torque!

Kamikaze makes the weights & there is a few sets floating around . The shipping wouldbe almost as much as the weights . But if you PM Jeff he might make a set . "thumbsup"

:shock: The entire rig moved when the steering was bound up :shock:

That is one way to reposition with out taking the points:lol:

What slots on the AR6000 (?) do you have the two front steering servos plugged into? Are you planning to do this steering set up on the rear as well?

Impressive as always. Super nice Super"thumbsup"

Its the BR6000 robot rx and I have the front steering in rudder and gear. I mixed the two together so you can have individual trim and end points on each tire.

Damn, dude. Your imagination and innovation never ceases to amaze me. Long live the Copperhead!

Thanks!

The don't sell the weights. I make them. There are only 4 or 5 sets around.

Well, I missed 1st by 1 point at the comp saturday. I guess the 40 points worth of repairs I took kinda hurt me. The rear esc came unplugged twice, and the front servo horns backed out twice.....

I guess its time for a major overhaul.




Time for the Copperhead 3.0...................

 

[Kamikaze]

Here is a spy pic from the comp today. I guess it doesn't belong in this forum anymore since its no longer a clod.......It walked through the competition today by almost 40 points.
