1nxtmonster Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 More photos to come, but here's the video showing the not-quite finished version working. It has an "off roady" look. Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The speed of the high gear is VERY fast! The downside is that it is very loud, I think you should add some music to the video to hide it Quote
1nxtmonster Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 I've been doing some more offroading with it, and I have reached a conclusion...The gear range is too great; there is no middle gear. I want to make a three speed transmission, but until I do I changed the ratios so that the low gear is the same (1:15), but the high gear is a slower 1:5 instead of the previous 1:3. It is still fast, but I think it will add to the overall performance. For example, during a trial truck race, there are few flat areas, lots of medium hills and obstacles, and lots of hardcore obstacles. The old high ratio could only handle the flat areas, but the new high ratio is still fast but can take the medium hills as well. Quote
Doc_Brown Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Crazy speeds! What motors do you use, may I ask? Quote
1nxtmonster Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 @ Doc_Brown: Thanks! I used two RC motors for drive, an m-motor for steering, and an m-motor for shifting. Quote
1nxtmonster Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 I just finished doing some more offloading, video should be here soon! Quote
Doc_Brown Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) AWESOME! I'm loving those wheels and soft dirt! Great speed! Dang I wish I had RC buggy motors! Great job. :thumbup: Edited May 11, 2013 by Doc_Brown Quote
