Looks like it will be possible!

diets - rock crawling rocks

Looks fairly good - will post first pictures of my project soon :) - target is/was very similiar ;)
Do you use a motor per axle or a single motor layout ?

So here come the picture of my rear-axle and modified Mini-z drive train with Graupner U_joints

@DanielS
This looks pretty good. Could you post a pic from the opposite side.
What is the maximum bend angle of the graupner u-joints? Can they handle movements in the length?

diets - refuses to buy them till now, because of the high price

Hi

So I made a picture of my drivetrainlayout - my biggest issue with this is length - but I think i can get rid of an additional 25mm than it will be fine ;)

I can't tell you yet what is the maximum usable bend - and they only can flex limited in length due to ther plastic nature ;)

and best of all in my hobby shop I got a set with 2mm to 3,2mm so a perfect fit for my layout for 4,30€

Some test's to see what's possible on a real trial track

diets - verschränkt sich gerne

@danielS
Looks good - but some more work to do ;)

that is awesome.good work!

Wow..! That was really good articulation. Can you tell me about universal joint for the motor to front and rear diff? What U-join u use? Is that main diff came from Mini Z?
Thank you.

Hi Helldriver
These are two different car's.

The pictures posted by DanielS show his car with the Mini-Z diff and the graupner u-joints. I don't know how much articulation is possible.

The pictures with the large articulation are from my car. The drive train is made with modified Mini-X parts. I will post some more pictures with details, if you like.

diets - hopes the body will arrive soon

Yes please. I'd love to see the details.
Can't wait.
Thank you.

diets - if you have questions - don't hesitate - ask :D

GREAT JOB..!!!
Thank you.

Where is the motor? How is the engine mounted?
Thank you.

twin motor mount
 

Maybe you didn't found the motor, because there are actually two of them :D

Gearbox ratio
worm gear 1:20
middle diff 8 : 35
axes diff 8:35
overall ratio 1:382,5

This is really slow and a huge amount of torque, perfect for crawling

I have a different setup for cruising and jumping, as well. I will post pic's, when i'll have changed the setup.

diets - you should always have more the one setup ;)

i bow down to you. that is SICK!!!!

you are the X master
