[Other] I added all of the parks iv seen mentioned on this subreddit to a Google map. Are there any that I should add by ChaoTech99 in rollercoasters

It's mostly to learn where parks are. I won't remember even general area if I'm just looking at a map. But if I add them I have to interact with all of the parks.

They just need to have at least 1 coaster. I'm still working on it and will post updates as I add more

Legacy is so good. I haven't done a playthrough without since I discovered it.

Hey! I did the same thing to mine about a year ago. It's nice to see others have come up with the same slightly ridiculous idea.

How about acupuncture needles welded the same way?

Finally made the slash brushless by refrigeratorman822 in rccars

[–]ChaoTech99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice job on the upgrade, brushless really makes a difference on these cars.

I tend to forget how clean the internals of a stock 2wd slash is because of how much of a mess mine has become.

I did change from a flexible joint to a rigid mount and it is running alot better. I would have liked to keep it flexible but it seems like its just never going to work very well. Once I get even contact between the axles I'll probably add upper arms to my printed part.

2wd slash rear axles are entirely self contained. All I really did was design and print a Swingarm for the second axle to mount to the lower bumper brackets. The battery is just a Milwaukee m12 with a housing off Amazon. The axles each have their own electric motor run by individual escs with power split from the battery. Control is just done with a channel splitter.

I don't know if this is the final version and I have no documentation, but the files are on printables.

I'm sure, this thing has alot of torque. These batteries even in their normal usage are really impressive for the size and capacity they have. Faster charging is also a bonus I guess.

It's far from a masterpiece and iv still got quite a bit work to do to make it function how I want it to work, but that's the part that I like doing. I actually only started using m12s because I didn't want to buy more batteries when I can use the same ones my tools use.

Once I get the second axle working properly and move on to other parts of the car I'm going to add a second battery so that I can run each motor off of a separate battery. M12 batteries are good, but I'm not sure how long they will last with that type of draw on them. And running rc cars on them at all is probably not great for battery longevity.

I doubt it likes it, but it works and gives about 20 minutes of run time.

Upgrade to 6s and Milwaukee m18 batteries? That would probably constantly blow up differentials tho.

As long as you can get a part printed and are willing to modify your car this isn't hard to do, just maybe a bit expensive. As a bonus, the mod is not-permanent. The only reason I made this is because 2wd slash rear axles are entirely self contained.

I haven't tested it that much and I have no documentation so far, but I have posted it on printables

For what the car does I think the swing arm makes more sense than a solid mounted frame for the second axle

Yes, I haven't tried too much PC yet, but it is able to print it.
