HorcikDesigns Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Hi, few months ago I've submitted here GEN1 offroader, and I promised the second generation with many improvements - so, here it is ;) (GEN1 topic: http://www.eurobrick...52#entry1806014) 1+1XL (independent propulsion for each axle, 2*M, 1*V1 reciever, 1*V2 reciever, 1*Li-Po Battery. Youtube: Flickr (model): http://flic.kr/s/aHsjUeaFrB Flickr (disassembling): http://flic.kr/s/aHsjUetNAQ LDD of chassis is also availible. Edited March 10, 2014 by Gzzig Quote
Lakop Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Brilliant!. That's quite a beast! Would a servo for steering improve it? H Edited March 10, 2014 by Horace T Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Brilliant!. That's quite a beast! Would a servo for steering improve it? H Thanks. I've tried to mount there servo, but it was not strong enough - or I used very small lever. However, this solution works here better, I think. Quote
unimog123 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 It looks awesome, like a true crawler! :thumbup: Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Looks really good :) One sugguestion. Fix the 12:20 axle gear ratio on the axle inputs and use U joints. This way there will be less friction :) Quote

AndyCW Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Bodywork looks awesome. The track width looks a bit wide, but that may be a personal preference. It really depends on where it will be going. Tight spaces really slowly, then narrow is better. Wide open spaces a high rates of speed, then wider may be better. v/r Andrew Quote

This way there will be less friction :) Thank you, but I think, that this part of drivetrain offers to move the axis, to better position because of the links geometry - and I guess, that U-joint wouldn't survive this stress. However, the friction will be reduced, that's right. Edited March 11, 2014 by Gzzig Quote
Doc_Brown Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Freaking cool! I love its stance and width. Some great details too! :thumbup: Quote
