Ansmann/TQ/TC : the off thread
 

From an idea of elod, I open this thread about talk "when nothing new" :)

I'm waiting my new motor, a Robitronic 8.5T, which should arrived on monday, so I could run my Mad rat on next saturday.

good idea i am looking for a suplyer of 3mm cf or 4/5mm G10 sheet anyone know where i can get this? also expect me to be creating a "PRO" master smacker:thumbsup:

Thanks kedal! ;)
I also have bought several items which I broke during the last period, between other thing also an antenna for my radio :P I was pulling it out too fast on a race and it just came out the second last section. I also bought that ( .... what is it? Front hub carrier? on which the wheel axle is mounted ) what made my front wheel fell off on each jump an a race :P Still, I don't like my monster truck.... The Mad Rat is much simplier, much easyer to fix or to clean.
I am really thinking in buying a B-fast diff, before the stock becomes unusable.
Do you know guys, where could I find some off road track plans? If I would succeed to make a track here, i would like to make it interresting, not only turn-straight-turn-straight.......

Elod, here's a link to a petit RC's theard, a french forum, about a guy who made a 1/10 track on his garden, may help you. If you need translation, just aks :)

I'm also thinking about bfast diff, but no money for now... I need tires too, so, I'll make an order to TCModels soon, and try the hex alu mount, motor plate mount and this new alu gear, with some flip out jconcept tires :)
Bfast diff will wait... but I'm thinking about take 2.

Battle-axe : I saw cheap carbon fiber on ebay, check there.

Wow! Nice track! Very pretty! I would do that in my parents houses garden if they would allow me :P

I wanted my 98 year old grandmother to have a drive of my stadium truck since she was fascinated by it and really liked it :) so I ask her to throttle while I was steering. However we ended approaching a brick wall at full speed so I turned it blindly away from the house not known what was around the corner and hit a wheelbarrow at full speed :P lol.

I broke this

Tcmodels are showing no stock :S but for the moment I stole the one from the madrat so the Stadium Truck was running again in just a few minutes. All around it was a very fun moment and well worth the 2 dollar part :) I'm going to order the new Aluminium idler gear when the suspension mount is in stock too and try that out

Funny Nicefrog :)...

Try Concept racing ... Eric will usually get parts shipped within 3 days.

For the moment I've "done a zagonielod" and super glued it :). Since I'm so happy with the Stadium Truck and couldn't really see myself driving the buggy any time soon I've started converting the Madrat to mid motor :thumbsup: Looks like it will be really easy to do

I received my Robitonic motor ! Pics followed up.

Did you do test with your new motor :)

Yes Ben :) I quickly test on my living room, everything works, apparently no cogging... cant wait to run on saturday !!
I bought a 24T pinion too :)

Offtopic but kedal your blogs very nice. I wish i could read it though!

Google Chrome has a translate function Rob...works pretty good.

Nicefrog, when doing the shared transmitter thing with a newb driver, do it the other way around. You control the throttle and have the newb control the steering. Much safer this way...hehehe. I got my kids into it this way.
But Im sure you figured that out after the fact.

Thanks Rob :)
If you need particular translation just ask.

I ordered 3 full sets of hex head screws to replace every screw on the team c cars, I don't like the button heads so apart so I'm going to replace most of them with full hex heads and I also got all the counter sunk flat heads. I'm having a lot of trouble with the diff screw loosening all the time so I'm going to get some better 2.5mm lock nuts too, that's the only nut or screw I have to order to have enough to replace them all. I already got a few 2.5 hex heads to replace the annoying Phillips diff screw. Other than that the trucks going really well and fast and easy to drive. Seems to be for me on the tight track with have to be faster than the buggy.

Notme, that's good advice with the throttle vs steering :) next time I'll do that

Other than that, I'm going to buy a brushless trainer plane soon and then a 60 amp sensored XErun esc and a sensored 8.5turn Speed Passion motor or maybe even a bit faster than that for the Stadium Truck, I'm also going to finish my Mid Motor Madrat sometime between now and the weekend, having the motor spin towards the rear of the car and the battery hard up against the motor so all the weight is in one spot is the correct setup right?. I need to make a alloy T-piece and a bracket to support the front of the gearbox and motor plate to Chassis and do a bit of grinding to fit the motor in the standard chassis and that's about it

I see many peoples whant alu hex mont, why? Did there is some problem with the plastic one?

Some personn do a test with the carbone rear chassi?

the plastic hex are loose fitting and the pins fall out when im working on the car

I do a test with the carbon rear plate, on a astro.
The car will be more easy, i forget a littel of turn. The rear of the caar don't move and have a lot of gripp.

I would like to do a test on track with less gripp, or indoor with aout carpet.

hi guys! it's very quiet here....
then I'll make some noise :) I've bought today an Etronix probe 12 ESC for the stock Clash motor. Also bought a set of StepUp Stinger rear tires on wheels. A set of B4 diff thrust screw with nuts. Some spare 5X10X4 Abec35 bearings. (and 4 rechargeable batteries -I had allready for- cas I'm tired of buying new batteries which after use have to be thrown out... )
Looks like I'll have another race on the weekend if it won't rain.

Edit

the diff thrust screw.... It is 25mm long in total, but only 2mm in diameter. Will it be good?...
