I happened to stumble on this contest sunday night while in a search. Started looking around to see what I had to do a build. I decided to do a crawler class build since I had a ax10 roller sitting here. I've been working on it all this week but have been unable to get my pics up. I will have them all up tomorrow. So here's what has been going on this week.
I grabbed the roller, an old chassis I made acouple years ago, and pulled the brushless system out of my sandrail. I had some revo push rods and some hr air shocks in a box from a previous build. Ended up staying up til 3am getting a roller built.
I grabbed 2 sets of rear jato tires from work the next day. I hooked up the vxl motor and my sidewinder to the axial tranny. Ended up pulling out one of my 3s plane lipos and tested it out. I was not impressed by the bench test. It wouldn't even ballon the tires. I knew I had to find a way to get out some of the gear reduction. I started digging around into my parts and found an old rustler tranny in pieces. After looking at it and pondering for awhile I got a idea. It just so happened that 2 of the case bolt holes lined up with the motor. Perfect enough that I could run a 22t pinion gear off the motor directing into the tranny in place of the 22t top gear. In thery this should turn the outputs at least 2 1/2 times faster. After getting it all mounted to the skid I hooked it up and what a difference!
