yea that might not be a bad idea...I also need a 100% sure-fire way to align the chassis'...because I dont want to get the Chassis' glued/puttied together than have it drift...I don't know....

And for how "complicated" this was...I still dont know how to lift a body, lift the suspension, or add a telescopic anntenea to MS controller :(

hmm i see what you mean...

man, now i feel retarded... :p i need some good clone-raping modding goin down... the only thing i got goin is a surefire lowering method..

** edit: to avoid spamming, im gonna just edit this message...

hmm yeah, i know what you mean for the one motor slowing down the faster one... not sure how this whole setup works as of now, it's getting late and im tired... :D

aaand... do the wheels turn at the same speed? even if the motors are rated the same, they often have discrepancies.... and with the motor choice, i'd go perfection 3.8 too.. i never tried it, but i've heard nothing bad about them!

First, The truck body is just for now....Untill I can figure out how to make my own dragster body.

Second, The wheels turn at close enough speed for now, I'm not running it a whole lot (for fear of it burning up) but I'm thinking I might want different drivetrain distribuision, like, 70/30% so its more FWD, so on launches it grabs better, and doesnt wheelie, but i dont know if that will screw up the full speed driving when the front tires stop pulling but the back keep pushing..(if that made sense)

you should lower the truck body on it so it's right on the ground almost then add some rollbars to the back and well that's what i would do but i'm not you or ummm your not me or something like that. sweet job btw:D :D :D

CjsF150nNeon 03-12-2003 12:31 AM

well, to be honest, I dont know how to lower it...so I'll just have to wait and see till' i finish the body.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments...I will post up many more details when its totally done. (right now its kind of a mess...I got it running, but its not wired perfectly, and I'm afraid i'm gonna fry it, so I gotta re-wire it with fresh wires and good solder...+ i have to add 1 more cell and fit the body correctly..

Time for bed now though! Good night!

can you show better pics of the steering?

sessiz10 03-12-2003 12:34 PM

There is no steering hog. He basically took two rears and transplanted one on the front.

hogjowlz 03-12-2003 12:38 PM

that wouldnt be too fun.

CjsF150nNeon 03-12-2003 12:39 PM

Yes...as I said, its a strait line "top fuel" drag car.

hogjowlz 03-12-2003 12:40 PM

you got any vids?

CjsF150nNeon 03-12-2003 10:31 PM

No vids yet, but i will try to figure out how to get one thats a small enough file.

chelboed 03-12-2003 11:19 PM

You should try to put it together with a slight pivot point in the middle. Then you could hook up a 3rd motor to the pivot and steer it. Since it is a drag car, you could make the pivot VERY slight, so it wouldn't turn much at all.

P.S. Don't put 4 cells on there. Stop at 3. i put 4 cells with 2 motors on my Zap. It was the fastest thing I have ever seen. Both motors were in the rear. After 30 seconds of use, it was fried. What fried it was putting extra drag on the motors ie... holding the wheels under power, like pushing an object.

Stick with 3 cells man. Or do 4 cells with one motor. That would be a whole different project, though.

Good Job. Sorry bout the death of your steering, though.

CjsF150nNeon 03-12-2003 11:27 PM

Yea, I gotta work on the center-steer, so I can adjust it a little...heres on video of it going it a semi-straight line lol..hopefully it works...*RIGHT CLICK - SAVE AS please, it works alot easier than clicking the link*
