Top gear.

[Flux]

Thought I would show an update to my truck. Had to build a new centre differential so I could run a larger spur gear and lower pinion gear. Reason for doing so was because the truck was 'cogging' causing the truck to stutter off the line and not responding to driver inputs as well as it should. I had a bit of play near the end of the video on front grass verge Seems to be running fine now just need to get into an open area for a good run

Awesome unit Flux!

Now you need a little wireless cam and sunglasses with monitor built in to watch it when it gets out of visual range.

My friend got a pair for his rc heli and they work great.

Yeah there are some crazy videos on Youtube showing people who have FPV cameras mounted to their cars and race them around outside while they sit in the lounge

My video was only showing part throttle. The motor used produces very low torque so I need to be careful how much I apply from stand still because I'll most likely nuke the differentials (this truck uses 1/8 scale parts with a stretched chassis to get to a 1/5 scale)

If anyone would like a good read the project it can be viewed on the RC forum Savage Central: http://www.savage-central.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=95748

Thanks for the links. You have a sick truck I did only get to page 15 before I had to reply. I will finish looking at et later after I get off my but and get some work done.

I anm almost sory to say that I just a slash rtr for my girls present.

But that is what they race around here cheep fun with the girl. The good news is that one of the local tracks( 50 miles away) is having a good turn out of ebuggy's Daddys toy is going to be a b4.2 unless you got a better idea. If it is flux generated I am in if you help with the set up.

The place is so cool.2 indoor tracks and a huge out door track.

Last question is what do you do with that monster when it is done? do they race it there?

Glad to share the video with you guys. I'll be blasting the truck around the local track as long as the locals don't mind it on the track (big truck so it may make a mess of it). I can get footage of the truck on the track with the GoPro2 head mounted which you have seen in my other videos. Wouldn't mind doing a video/movie of it in action, got ideas just got to get around to it.

The Slash will be a good for the girls plus you can always get parts for the truck (it's not a toy so they keep building the parts for it). Whats best to look for in a RC is the parts support either at the local shop or you don't mine shopping on EBay. I went with HPI due to it being very popular (researched the web to decide).

FLUX MAN!

That Truck is so sick!

Just been over at the Forum checking out the build. RECOMENDED
Ya Really have to look at that to appreciate the work and skill gone into that model Flux.

christ! the money and time must be crazy,so worth it though.love the vacume former.
and your workshop,im jelouse

Thanks Stealthy

It's a current one off at the moment with version 1 of the TVP (twin vertical plate) design. The way you lengthen the truck is by extending the TVP's which creates the longer wheel base. I have version 2 of the TVP's just sitting in CAD at the moment.

TVP design is standard with the HPI Savage Fluxs and lengthening the TVP's isn't new but I decided that I wanted to do my own design and learn how to do it.

When I get a chance I'll work on some new video's of the truck in the holidays.

[stealthyaroura]

yeah man keep the vids flowing Flux!
did you get yourself a CNC setup?
(doing a few pages at a time i'm at where your thinking of getting one)

that would be awesome. think of all the custom work you could supply

and that 2028 brushless LOL oh god LOL you animal!

its freaking huge!

[Flux]

Costing of the CNC is out of my reach at the moment. Maybe one day

Yup that 2028 is about the size of a beer can and you can even get bigger RC motors than that

The real test is to see how well the front and rear differentials hold up seeing they are 1/8 scale in a 1/5 sized truck

You want one dont you? I do

Crazy work they have done. Bet there was some trial and error working out the motor for the thing

[Flux]

For all the vehicle nuts out there you have to see this crazy car game that is in development! Please watch because it's a laugh seeing what you can do to your car. Destruction on a grand scale

Haha carnage on a massive scale Flux

Nice graphics too for a cheapie demo version.
Not a huge gamer myself but I like to see the development of software.
