Ah. I thought they were the same as the ones for the Dominator and Monster Pirate. One had the center slipper, and one had the center diff. I thought all the Ofna gears like those (51t, 65T, etc) fit them? I know the 65T and the 51T for sure fit the Ofna center diff that has the removable spurs (without opening the diff). They have the same pattern as the Strobe, and I thought the same pattern as the center slipper. There kinda hard to find, but I have one around here somewhere...

Sweet!!!!!! Amazing work candyman! I remember being awed the first time I saw it on the traxxas forums.

Very, very, nice car.

Looks like something Mike would have made/designed- I like it alot.

[Candyman2]

Time for a redesign, I think i've been using this hacked up gorilla chassis for too long :) Main objective is to move the motor lower and nearer the middle of the truck, and as always symetry is key

Its not 100% yet, few things need changing here and there, hopefully get it finished this week and electronics in...... somehow

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Oh my God... Sick!!! nicely done Candyman...

[captain harlock]

Amazing!

Yo, Candy, when the heck are you gonna use lipos, man? The world is moving forward fast you know.

[Takedown]

If only it had lipos.... The it would be perfect.

[BL_RV0]

Beautiful work.

[MetalMan]

Man, how long did all of that take? It really shows you have some impressive skill! Excellent design, and as usual, top-notch fabrication.

...i was about to pose a question for my own 'build' (term used VERY loosely after seeing this) but now i once again embarrassed by the master...Brilliant work CM...Astounding...Man you need a girlfriend ;)

[Candyman2]

Thanks guys, no need for lipo, truck is plenty fast enough on these cells! and with nimh so cheap i dont think I will ever change.

Didnt take long, maybe 25 hours in total, about 2 weeks, I nearly didnt finish it, I had 3 different ideas for a chassis and spent some time working on the other 2 as well! im still not 100% happy on the design so I might make another yet.

[nitrostarter]

I think this design is brilliant and could definitely go into production... Looks awesome!!

[Candyman2]

Well not quite that good, I may change it again.

I forgot to say its now just under an inch longer too, I might treat it to a new body actually.

So electronics in, took ages to cram everything in. Speedo (18.97kwf) is too big so had to trim the middle fin out for the prop to run inside it. If anyone knows of a thin speed controller that can take 18 cells/6S with over 100 amp rating and will run the 4 pole Plettenberg please let me know as the schulze gets hot!

Cut some little grooves int eh diff mount to clamp the wires in place and there we are, added some 500,000 diff oil, cant wait to run it now!

[crazyjr]

The only thing i see that might need improving, is the rear rods. I see where it'd twist under power, maybe a similar setup to the front in the rear and maybe a support in the middle if the rear setup

Lipo's would be a nice addition, but the truck is awesome and no longer a Gmaxx truck

I really got to get into school and learn CAD design

[suicideneil]

Remind me to get some more Kleenex..

On the esc front, one of Lutach's items wouod be ideal- maybe a little in the wide side, but it is very flat- sure he can supply the dimensions. Otherwise I was thinking an MMM without its case/fan, or do like BrianG did and cut the top of the case off; its easily lower profile than the Schulze even with its full heatsink (famous last words).

I wouldnt mind seeing some of your other designs you were working on / drawings, just out of curiosity, but this design is pretty damn slick, rather like the BPP truggy chassis actually...
