Kyosho RB6 Laydown Gear box

[kleijon]

I have design and printed a 3 gear laydown box to my RB6
No new holes are needed in the chassie. And you can have the LIPO across or along the chassie.

I printed the motor plate in SLS aswell, just to testr fit before i order one i aluminium.
On my prototype its only feasible to fit a 68 tooth spurgear but it is corrected in the CAD models.

I printed a batteryholder i SLS aswell, but its designed for 2mm carbon fiber.
It has a movable stop depending on how you want the battery.

I have not had the time to test it on the track yet. But the gears feels smooth in the box.

If there is an interest its available on Shapeways

Wow! Looks like a professional job.

Is the motor plate from another car, or custom, and if so have you got the drawing/do you make them?

The one that I have printed is for a custom motor plate.
But I have also made a gear box for Yokomo Z2-304 plate.

I have taken my experience from the printed one and modified my gear box for the Yokomo plate, the first one was not that good. So i have orderd a Yokomo plate and planing on order my updated gear box.
