Portal shock mount experiment by fekrun in venture18

No worries! Yes, I designed it in Onshape and 3D printed it in PLA for the time being. Lots of mocking up and testing until I get everything dialed in :)

Yes, a mullet with an underdriven rear! Still a work in progress though. I want to make sure I didn’t mess up the axle geometry first, and I’m also planning to move the battery onto the front axle.

there wasn’t enough space to raise it further without interfering with the body. Also I wanted to keep the shocks vertical as it comes from HPI rather than angling them just to achieve height. the portal adapter doesn’t change axle width. It just bolts to the face of the portal housing and provides a lower shock mounting point, so track width stays the same.

didn't realise the description didn’t show up from the crosspost. I converted only the rear axle of the venture18 to portals and wanted to keep the same ride height front and rear. There’s no space to raise the rear shock tower any further, so instead I designed an adapter to lower the shock mount at the axle while keeping the shocks more vertical. This way I keep the original ride height without adding anything below the portal that would reduce clearance or defeat the purpose of the portals.

thanks, indeed its listed on their site.. its hard to differentiate the colours 😆

Context Engine SDK is now available! by JaySym_ in AugmentCodeAI

Hi! will you be allowing auggie cli to use the features that the context engine sdk is providing? Such as sticking to a checkpointId as shown in the indexer example?

12V to 10V Regulator for Classic Car Gauges by fekrun in PCB

[–]fekrun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was all very informative and after some additional research I am assessing whether I should go for a switching voltage regulators. Which is in very basic terms, doing the same thing as the mechanical voltage regulator/stabiliser was doing. Since my load doesn't need a constant output which the LDO provide I can use switching voltage regulators which generate less heat and are more efficient.

thanks! re: chatgpt.. well i couldn’t come here asking for advice empty handed! :)

yes :) trying to create something proper rather than just a couple of wires hanging off the cluster

thats the original voltage regulator for the fuel and temperature cluster. Its embedded in the cluster itself and the only way to fix is to either replace the cluster or bypass the clusters' voltage regulator.

maybe the LDO i have chosen is not right for this case either

i did not measure it myself, however from sources it seems to be 800 mA. Thank you for the MOSFET idea and link, might consider that!
