HorcikDesigns Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Hi. When building Trial Truck for next race of Czech LTTT competition, I have decieded to build something really fast. I have not succeeded, this one is not fast, On the other hand, this is my first hot-rod with classic body style (my Willys-rod was something "special" :D ) So, this one is equipped with one 5292 RC buggy motor geared down from 20t bevel gear to new-style diff (see photo of chassis in album), one servo for steering, and both of them are powered by one Li-Po BB. This BB also powers two sets of lights. Unfortunatelly, probably because of weight of this car the V2 reciever often overheats and shuts down for a while the drive motor. In video you could see more info about it. (however, my Movie Maker or YTprofile is probably broken, it makes strange effects :D) More photos: WeirdCab HotRod WeirdCab HotRod WeirdCab HotRod WeirdCab HotRod WeirdCab HotRod WeirdCab HotRod WeirdCab HotRod chassis Hope you like it, critique or comments welcomed ;) Edited July 12, 2014 by Gzzig Quote
Doc_Brown Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Awesome rod man! If you don't mind me asking did you use more than one video source? Like from 2 different cameras? I have noticed 2 of my videos have done a similar " frame rate" issue, and it really is annoying! Was it at 25 frames per second or 24? Personally I would pull the vid down and retry again, frustrating I know. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Thank you guys! I am glad you like it. ;) @dd. Doc_Brown: I have used only my phone (Nokia N8, so the frames per second are 25 I guess, but I am not sure) camera's video capturing mode. However, I have used it more times before, and this did not happen - only after uploading to YT. I'll try another video-making tool. ;) Quote

HorcikDesigns Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Too cool!!!! Love it, just a pity for the video ahah!! I have a question: what about the weight of it?? About one kg - Just guess, because my weigh-machine is broken :D Thanks. Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Lol "weight machine" :grin: :grin: Love this name!!! Ok cool, I think you should try with 2 buggy motors for driving!! should be quicker!! But as I said I love it, and love the color scheme aswell! Quote

Yes, two buggy motors would be great, but it means one more BB and V2 Reciever, which i have not. ;) However, when I'll get them, ... :D Quote
