OutRunner Raze
 

Hey guys i am finally making progress on my Bl Converted Duratrax raze!:party: I recently made the decision to go Direct Drive with a Outrunner. Up untill now i had a plain old duratrax raze with a Wanderer 9xl, no esc, no batts, no charger, NO HOPE I started this project back in May of 2007 and could not progress cuz i was broke!:lol: When i finaly went through and sold the 9xl the greatest thing happened 83gt made a cash offer on the motor. I was really happy to get an offer but then he told me he would trade a MM!!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING! cuz i had been looking for one since i started the project!

The deal went through without a hitch and i got a Older style Yellow label Mamba max! Then my with my birthday and easter money i just placed the order on united hobbies for my motor, battery and charger!
I got:
Turnigy 50-55b 600kv outrunner
Zippy 4000mah 25-35c 5s lipo
A Imax B5 Lipo Charger


I also just got done Painting my hyper7 body too, its not bad for the first body.

Looks like a great build. Im really excited to see the sped runs and overall power!

Looking really good ben!

Looks great. I have that exact motor and believe me, you will love it.


Good luck with the build.

P.S are you getting your mount from Mike?

i dunno what im doing for a mount, can i get the mounting hole dimensions?

You would have to measure everything out and make a sketch or draft, then you would send that in to Mike along with a fee and he will make exactly what you ask for. Out of aluminum.

what PB?

Whats PB?

Peanut Butter?

I think he means PedeBeater?

now that u say it, i cound go for some pb and j :D

Just don't use Wonder bread!
"God, i Wonder what's in it?" :whistle:

I wonder what is NOT in it. Like any trace of nutrients?

I could really go for some of that stuff we used to eat back in the day! Your know, that stuff!

I was talking about a guy me Takedown and Brushlessboy know, his name is Mike. He makes custom aluminum parts.


Now you guys got me wanting pb and j, thanks. lol

Be One Of Us!

Hmmm... I third that.

Update Guys: I just had a freind order 50 330uF 25v capacitors, i plan to run them with the Mamba Max to lower the temps a little bit.


How many should i run? the more the merrier?

Put them all on there...:lol:

how many though?

I would run 6-8 on a braket kinda like sike has on his outrunner e-revo.

Hey Guys, Has anyone used the TeknoRc Battery tray?
http://www.teknorc.com/product_info....roducts_id=940.
It has the same exact dimensions as the Pack I'm getting and is cheap too, i might have to drill a couple holes in the chassis but it would look a heck of a lot better then what i was thinking :D :party:

According to all my measurements and calculations, the raze should weigh in somewhere around 9.5slbs, 10 lbs max.. And at full throttle, it will be making 3.7hp or 2590watts!!!!
that makes the power to weight ratio about .375 to 1!!!
Minding that the Buggati V16 Veyron has .230hp per pound... yay :D

GO OUTRUNNERS!

Hey guys just a little update, my Order from United hobbies is still backorderd!!!! AHHH NOO

I have been wondering how you guys think i should mount the motor, right now my idea is to Machine a big hunk of .3'' thick delrin into a mount that would use the same holes as the center diff did.. Do you think it will be strong enuff?

Does anyone know if a Motor mount made of 1/2inch Thick Delrin will be enuff for the motor?

Hey Guys just a little update, my motor and Battery just came into stock and should be here shortly,It looks like the machined mount idea is a failure... might use some steel angle to make a mount, then either some round stock or flat plate for bracing... its really simple but should get the job done

Why not use one of these

Ehh a coupla reasons, i would like to make it myself for one, im not one to build things out of a box.... then b/c its not made for an outrunner motor, and because i need something that will keep the mount from flexing.

Does the motor have screw holes at both ends? You could fab two of them together to make like a diff mount...

no, only at one end, the other side of the endbell spins with the shaft.

What pinions are you planning on using with the 8mm shaft?

It is an outrunner motor running direct drive, im running diff cups on the motor shaft and running dogbones directly to the front and rear diff

Thanks I have got it now, you are going to mount the rear drive cup on the bit that has the bullet shaped thing on it?

close, im not going to use the bullet thing, From what i hear you can slide the motor shaft so that it sticks out both ends of the motor-so i can put drive cups on both ends

Sweet, I may put one of these in my XB8, I will watch this thread closely.

Cheers

Hmmmm, are you sure the motor will fit? I just took the CD out of my buggy and the distance between the ends of the CVDs is 40mm, going by the specs on the website the motor is 55mm long. Do you plan to cut the shaft?

What drive cups are you using? I found these which look goodhttp://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...RCM8mmdrivecup

standard drive cups are 8mm, the originals on my raze's front and rear pinions are. I chose HotBodies Cups because they were cheap. I will need to find one shorter Cvd, that will be decided when i mount the motor... it should be here soon.

Ok thanks, do you have any other information about moving the shaft inside the motor? I found a picture of the shaft and there is only notches for e clips or something similar, I don't see how it could be adjusted.

the e-clips are to be removed, the shaft will be held in the motor by the setscrews it has. :D

Isn't it actually a W16? :wink:

Ugh darn! FOILED AGAIn!

indeed it is a w-block


that must be one nicely machined peice of aluminum....

Sweet, are you just going to dremel a flat in the other end for the drive cup?
