diy buggy

Been a few months of on/off designing and printing, but it's on four wheels now (the correct offside rear is being printed right now) still loads to do, the temporary diff is too low, leading to the axles falling out and the tyco bandit inspired body is no where near fitting yet.

The smoke got out..

So I knew the gearing was too long for the larger tyres, new gears on the way, I expected the motor would die from the abuse/heat (the 3d printed motor mount was certainly feeling the heat!) however it hadn't died after 3 or 4 battery pack, so I went for a high speed run, on the plus side it went straight, also on the plus side we get to replace the 20+ year old esc! downside I have to lend little TerraRoot one of my RC's until his parts get here doughtnut video

Cracked the 3mm ball joint out of it, testing it by sending it down playground slides, thought the link would break first but I seem to have over engineered that.

Burnout truck

Based on a scx10ii chassis. 3300kv motor mated to a rc4wd 2 speed trans. Transmission gears have been swapped for higher speeds. Still not enough to smoke the tires. Rear end is an aluminum scx10 driven by an incision driveshaft. Front wheels are airplane landing gear with electric brakes.

Currently has a broken trans due to shifting to 2nd under load. That was stupid
