Woops I was wrong about the schulze, I didn't realize it was an "L" model. For $220.00 that's looking like a good option.
|
Maybe I was looking at the Jazz manual.
Do you think the 40.100 Schilz Furure L would be adequate for my build? 100 amps continuous would be cutting it close but if it has headroom like the kontronik esc's it might be enough. Quote:

I emailed Schulz. I'll report back what they say.

I always wonder how can the durability/strength be improved by increasing the ball end. Same thing happen to Savage drive shaft. they increase the ball end size from 9mm to 11mm. I think the wall thickness of the drive cups/outputs are just the same?

Hd cvd pin is thicker and the cup is thicker as well, more mass I guess to spread shock over a larger area??
I'd assume cvd's usually fail at the ball and cup area. |
How is the shipping from Cen I haven't heard many good things about them as far a getting parts shipped in a timely manor.
|
Not bad, I think it took a week. They are shipping direct from Taiwan I think it was.

A little info from Schulz:
"Hello, ... sure, in car mode a reverse gear is available. Note: It is only allowed to use an inrunner motor for boat and car applications. Best regards Matthias Schulze" "Hello, You are in need for a future-xl-40.160 for 12s or a fut-xl-32.202 for 10s. The future -l series is definitely NOT strong enough, you even should better use a future-xxl type. Best regards Matthias Schulze" |
I've made a little progress, it's slow going though right now. My busy season is coming up and the new baby is keeping me busy! :)
Made some shock mounts: http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/78acdcb0.jpg Rear bulkhead and chassis support plates: http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/5a1ec114.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/a7cbe974.jpg Finally bought an esc as well, jive 120hv http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/018f68e6.jpg |
What are some opinions on using one of these for the motor? Nice and secure it seems. It also looks like the rcm universal diff/motor mount is back in stock.
Anyone know if the rcm mount will accept m4 motor screws and the 1527 motor? http://southriverrcboats.com/shop/ar...n.html?pse=apq |
Can't wait to see your truck in action.
I have 2 motor mounts that I bought that is somewhat like the one in the link, but I think the RC-Monster center mount might be a better option. Make a thread here (http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6) regarding your questions for the center motor mount and I'm sure that Mike will help you make your truck a solid machine. |
Posted, thanks Lutach!

Ordered the Universal RCM mount.
Mike is modifying it to allow the m4 motor screws. Thanks Mike! |
Just got a tracking #, motor mount is on its way!!
|
I've been busy, I'm very close to done but I don't have any time!! :)
http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/ddab4050.jpg |
Lookin' monstrously good man! I've got both a converted Muggy and XXL with oversized wheels/tires which are both indestructable but don't look as beefy as your ride does. What body are you going to cap it off with?
|
That is an excellent question, :) I haven't decided on a body, Probablly
A Redcat Rampage body or something similar. I have high hopes that this is a tough rig, we shall see, if I ever get it done. Quote:
|
It's been a while but I finally have a little time and I'm almost done. Just giving it a once over, running the wires, securing and programming electronics etc. I also still need to get a body but it's almost driveable!!
I'll post pictures soon and then some video. |
|
I can't believe I did something so dumb, I managed to apply reverse polarity to the kontronik 120hv while situating everything, the leads just tapped each other for a microsecond. So smoke from the esc or battery, but the esc is flashing the reverse polarity code. Word is kontronic won't fix it and they may or may not offer me any deal worth having. Supposedly it is fixable though by someone with the necessary expertise.
Hopefully I can find someone to repair this paperweight. |
More pictures. I'm not loving the body but its not bad, I'd like to find something unique but for now this was easy and looks like it will fit nice. I just have to make body post holes and walah!
http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...6411571377.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...640BE1F148.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...6405A4D7BF.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...63FFEA4B0A.jpg |
My bad luck continues. I installed the kontronik 55-10-32, programmed it, tested it with the motor gear mesh seperated, went out to for a test drive; when I hooked everything up it powered up normal then as I was installing the body te iroytle glitched just a tiny bit and poof, smoke.
Now I have two dead esc's!?!?!!!! Grrrrrrr. Anyway, all I have to do is mess with it on the bench so here are a few more pictures with different configurations. http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...CC42FF5B0B.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...CC4E6092CF.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...CC53894CEB.jpg |
Finally got to drive it, only for a few minutes, right as I was getting ready to take a quick video the steering broke, completely random but an easy fix, no video though. I need to adjust the suspension I think, it felt very unstable under hard acceleration, like the torque was twisting it and making it pull to the side.
RTR Weight w/ big joe tires & 10s 4000mah = exactly 19 lbs. not too bad I think, although its not light when you're carying it around. :) It will be a lb or so heavier with the gst wheels I think. Currently geared for 48mph, 55mph w/ tire ballooning. Motor and esc (schulze 40.160) seemed to stay cool during the limited test. |
Funny you say the truck pulls around under power my 6x6 genesis does the same thing my motor is up front and the truck pulls left under power. I have gone through the suspension but it only does it under full power. My truck weighs is at 22 pounds with a 1717 on 6S. Thinking of trying a gryo to stabilize the truck
|
6x6!?!? Nice
Keep me posted on how the gyro works, interesting idea. I firmed up the springs a little and in the back yard it seemed a little better. How's your drivetrain hold up to 22lbs of truck, have you had any issues? I'm hoping this will be a worry free truck. Quote:
|
every thing holding up just fine

Haven't had and driveline issues diffs are nearly indestructible considering I can't get traction:lol:
|
Very cool!
I shimmed my diffs nice and snug for extra insurance. Do you have any video? Btw, I sent you a pm. Quote:

A few more pictures, basically the complete conversion.

A couple little clips. Stayed cool, batteries, esc and motor all only got barely warm, guessing 100 degrees
Center diff was the warmest thing I think :) it has the 1,000,000 weight stuff in it, works well at transferring power for about 2 minutes then it gets hot and hello pizza cutters. http://youtu.be/q81qoGHgK9w http://youtu.be/D-MqpIhkZsg |
Having the same problem with the diff heating up and unloading power to the front. I have 500.000wt in my center diff still not that good. tried locking the diff and I all that happened was I ripped the center diff rear output off.
|
Just too much truck for a standard sized diff I guess.

Truck is looking killer! I'm surprised to say the big joes fit the truck rather well.
|
Thanks, I didn't think I'd like them much but the actually work.
