Sicil Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Hello. I want to present you my new creation - Trial Crawler. The idea to make the crawler for trial appeared long ago, but had neither the time nor the energy, ideas. Having studied many designs, I decided at all costs to build model for trial. The main problem that I faced was the suspension. To reduce friction loss, I decided to put the motor on the axle. Patency at a decent level, but sometimes clings motors of obstacles. Features: - 4x4 with XL-motor - Steering with Servo-motor - IR-receiver v2 Suspension: That's all. Thank you for your attention. Your Sicil. Sorry for my bad english.

W0lF Posted January 25, 2013 Good, especially the implementation of the suspension, but the design must be modified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Energo Posted January 25, 2013 Good! But, I think, you have to work with design) I also like your videos. Русские отаке :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timslegos Posted January 25, 2013 but the design must be modified. Agreed, I think with a better cab it would be great. tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sicil Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Thank you. Body I wanted to make simple and easy as on models Stari89. Edited January 26, 2013 by Sicil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpion Posted January 26, 2013 Good, especially the implementation of the suspension, but the design must be modified. Could you be a little more specific? ________________ Nice trial tuck, Sicil! If I may make a suggestion, though, I couldn't help notice that the suspension's Dark Grey links are secured by an axle on the bottom and a towing ball on top. I strongly sugest you put towballs on both ends of the link, because the towball allows 3 axis of freedom, whereas the axle allows only two, which can give you trouble when one of the wheels is higher than the other, forcing the axle to twist the link. Are you seeing what I'm getting at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lipko Posted January 26, 2013 I think the body is just fine. Real rock crawlers are pretty similar. Rock crawlers are about um.... rock crawling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W0lF Posted January 27, 2013 Could you be a little more specific? I liked the fact that the suspension is quite unique, but the design is not finalized in terms of the body. And if аbsence of a roof did not affect the appearance, then the front and rear create a different impression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
