This is too cool!!! He put alot more work into his than I did:surprised:

I still need to get my 6x6 finished, but work has been very busy. I will try to get some more work done this weeked. I do like the hummer bodies, might do that with mine...

Update!
 
So here is the next incarnation of the 6x6! Now it has an axi 2826/12 760kv outrunner. Using 14/72 gearing and it seems to be about right. I think I will play with the gearing a bit to get it just right. Also check out the 1/4 scale front steering servo, plenty of power there. I also repaced the rear servo with a hitec 5997tg servo for added power. I have the aftershock wheels/tires, but I want to remove the front tires from the wheels and add some weight. Still a blast to play with, easily goes anywhere I want, even thru foot deep grass!

You got it! I just realized that the taller aftershock tires will up my speed a bit which is good. I found it more capable in 2nd gear, the motor seemed to make a bit more power with the increased load. I guess the gearing was a bit low for it in 1st. The taller tires should cure that, hopefully.

Forgot the pics a few posts back... Sorry!!!

Thats friggin' sweet James!

which way is the front? :lol:

suicideneil 11.24.2008 08:20 PM

Beasty looking servo for steering. Truck itself looks rather bizzare- any thoughts on a shell?

The big servo is the front. I am trying to get almost all the weight over the front chassis. I just finished adding 12oz of weights to the new wheels (aftershock with losi claw tires), and will be putting them on soon.

That servo works great!!! I plan to make a low tight fitting tube body and make some panels for it out of sheet plastic.

You should make it a tow truck, have a servo actuated arm, and put broken trucks on the back section of the frame...


You and shaun should get together and make some money:lol:
hey wrecks em' you pick em'

Isn't the torque of that little motor incredible? So much in such a small package.

I'm sure you could up the gearing some if you want. Even with the additional weight and the additional drivetrain of your creation.

Looks great! Can I drive it? LOL

BL_RV0 11.26.2008 04:51 PM

Is it a problem having the front steering being so much stronger than the rear steering?

If you come down you are more than welcome to drive it!!! I actually plan to run a pair of 3905 chassis and use the new emaxx tranny with the super low 1st gear for crawling, and the std 2nd gear setup for maybe 25mph. The motor definately has plenty of power, no heat to speak of on either the motor or esc.

It does have more power, but it is not that different. When I go to the 3905 chassis I will run 4 identical servos...

I just spent 4 hours making shelves for 50+ cars, I'll pay shipping and I hope you're serious!!! :lol: :yipi:
