I think he's using the front suspension on the rear to get rid of that annoying compression camber that the rear gets. Basically, the front has far superior geometry than the rear. No where did he say he wanted four wheel steering.

yea like i dont plan i making 4 wheel steering although that would be a possible mod in the future down the road, right now im more concearned with gettin my baby runnin... also if i loosen the bracket the holds the driveshaft, it alows the rear wheels the pivot slightly, kinda like a shortcut to AWS but like Murcielago659 im just using this setup to have an independant rear suspension

i have high hopes... o well i tried to wind my 260 johnson motor didnt have much luck i was gunna try out 12 double turn with 26 guage wire... but i couldnt get it to fit which sucks and then i ended up breaking one of my brushed when i tried to reassemble it with 10 double turn.... o the words that came out of my mouth... newayz i looked on this site but their aint a good tutorial on how to wind a motor, this was my 1st winding attempt so ill just keep practicin...

alright i just wired up my controller to have a nos function rather than the hi/low switch what id really like to do is figure a way to make low even slower... i want that so that my 14.4v xmonster will b controlable for the turns, then hit nos and fly down straight aways.. dose anyone know hoe the hi/low function is worked? and how i could make low slower...

so this weekend i got some more stuff done and infact finished up the entire chassis of my car aswell as stage1 (of 3)

heres what i started with...

RacinSkillZ101 · #26 11-21-2004, 09:04 PM

got it all back together and is now being drenched in wd40... later on ill prolly reatke her aprt again and polish it up, make it spiffy and what not...

you may have noticed that there arent wheels.. well im changing up the rear ones, im gunna put the extension on the inner part of the wheel so it dont pertrude out of the body as bad, and also make a smaller lip for show on the outer portion of the rim. finally ill nickel plate them at school.

to get the wider rear wheels to fit i had to cut off the lil rods from the hubs (slide up and down in the lower control arms), and screw the hub directly to the control arm which is made out of construction paper so it moves easily.

as requested my nos button...

it was fairly simple, just wire the switch as a jumper for the "hi" leads of the regualr "Hi" "Low" switch, tricky part was fit it all together.

it isnt pictured but i had to dremel a notch for the wire to fit in, and also shave the lil black contact thing that moves when you turn the wheel (if uve taken apart your controller ud know what im talkin about)

RacinSkillZ101 · #28 11-21-2004, 09:13 PM

beter shot, it can still fold down but i forgot to take a pic.

RacinSkillZ101 · #29 11-21-2004, 09:17 PM

last pic for now,

i also modded even mechanical aspec of the steering, i shaved off the stopper on the steering wheel, because the controller has internal stopers (i should shave those also) i cut down the stoppers on the servo as well as the top indicator on the horn to allow for more travel. i also shaved parts of the chassis to allow for mor wheel travel (the "D" shaped thingys") and also the slides for the stock batt holders (wont b needin those)

thats all for now, enjoy the pics and look forward to my hopefully working electronics by next week...
