Suzuki Samurai 2 buggy motors 3s

[Robert F]

    Suzuki Samurai with portal axles. It has a crawl setup with 3:1 in diffs and also 3:1 in portals, but can also get some speed to climb obstacles with ease. It is powerd by 2 buggy motors, 2 650mah high discharge 11.1v batteries and 2 Sbricks. They have lot of power with 3 cells. The diffs have 6 ballbearings each, otherwise at the small pinion axle, the plastic will star to melt. I will also put some rc tires on it.

That's pretty nice! I like Suzuki 4x4s, and yours looks like it would have good performance. I just built myself a custom 11.1V battery as well, and am excited about it! 

I suppose those O-frames are 3D printed? I could sure use bearings like that in my high-powered MOCs.

Nice work!

I tried this setup as well, 2 buggy motors sbrick and servo on a 3s. The servo broke (chinese version) and the buggy motors (Chinese versions as well)  hit the thermal limiter within a minute so I couldn’t actually drive it. 

Any problems like that for you?

   Yes, the frames are 3d printed.

   All my mocs runs with 3s batteries on sbricks with no problem. The ideea is to not stall them and have the right gearing. I had a baja truck with 2 buggy motors and 2x 1000 mah 11.1 and worked perfect( with just the open diff as reduction).
