Hello grupe
excuse my bad english, hope it goes
My rc career began with a Traxxas Emax, which quickly broke in half
bought a used GorillaMaxx, but thought it was too high and too easily overturned
I have so even tried to make a chasi and a gear case that is lower and more durable
and here she is still under development

I call it a Madsen Maxx :tongue:

I like the trasmission- welcome :)

It would be cool to lay the tranny down on its side and mount the motor flat on the chassis.

Nice cnc work there. Did you do it yourself? What are you running for a power plant?

good idea thanks .. I will look at

Klausen 01.09.2010 02:19 PM

I can answer about the power plant. It is a Hobbywing ezrun 2350 combo.

Madsen please correct me if I am wrong.

Madsen66 01.09.2010 04:21 PM

Hi Klausen
you ar completely right
you know it :-)

suicideneil 01.09.2010 08:35 PM

That is definately awesome work on the chassis, and tranny in particular. If I had my way, the tranny wouldnt have an idler gear as you just dont need it with BL powered vehicles- swap 2 wires around and the motor spins the other way, so no need for the idler. If you have your own cnc machine at home/ unlimited access to it, Im sure plenty of folks here will want to make good friends with you, me included... :mdr:

Was thinking the same Neil. He only needs the idler for spacing to provide spur clearance, but if he channeled/notched the chassis for the spur he could drop the motor down the same amount as the idler diameter and eliminate it.

Very nice work Madsen :yes:

Madsen66 01.10.2010 06:29 PM

Thanks for the nice words
 
I have thought about removing the center gear wheel
but then you have to use bigger pinon and less spun gear Due to space
And no, I do not have a CNC, it is the job I have access to a cnc
and 24 hours is not enough hours :-) to do something for other people I am sorry
If you lay the tranny down on its side and mount the motor flat on the chassis
disappear my idea that everything must be installed in the center to keep the car in balance
engine in the center and 2 power pack one in each side

some thing more to look at :neutral:

sofus97 01.10.2010 06:58 PM

Nice Work

suicideneil 01.11.2010 02:04 PM

Fair enough.

That looks pretty clean and well finished, but I cant help noticing that there is a lack of bracing between the upper & lower decks in the rear of the truck- might lead to some chassis flex if you start doing jumps or serious offroading.

Madsen66 01.11.2010 06:44 PM

No chassis flex here
 
Sorry I do not understand what you mean by a lack of bracing
body is super stiff, and although I have not jumped really high with the car
I do not think there is anything that will bend or surrender
I've probably been on the streets and in the field, a 10 - 15 times now
and nothing is broken until now :mdr:

Klausen 01.12.2010 02:27 PM

I think what Neil means, is the lack of support between the chassis and the upper plate for the esc. (In danish: manglende støtte mellem bunden og esc pladen).

What type of alu is used?
