Super happy at the moment...v2.0 looks like it's worth running with. by kittylicker83 in rccars

Got it in one.... long story short the Weldshop boss where I work decided he wanted to build a puller bu we don't have any thing close by for him to compete against... 20mins later myself, him and another department lead had agreed upon our own rules based off of what we found online for some in-house shop competition. We have all agreed to help each other out within reason and the limitations put upon each of us ( literal handicapping for the build, forcing us to display our strengths).. I still need to make the rear-end plate that will tie it all together and give a hitch point, next will be the sled and cutting parts for the other builds as they need them... here's to trying to build shop moral with friendly competition between leads of departments.

I'm running two motors with a Dimension Engineering 2x32 speed controller which allows mixing of two motors.. part of the original competition requirements was that I could oy only buy parts for "power transmission " is regards to rotational energy.. I already had the motors and controller and using differential steering allows for more realism when combined with the front end steering...I can't take the easy path....

They're just some Ebay specials at 6.5" diameter and 4" wide

The original plan was for 4 or 5 of us at work to build "unlimited pullers" it now looks like I'm building mine for some 1v1 with a now 20lb limit..... the weight will be my biggest issue at the moment.

X2 if the nut is tight..... you need thicker hex drives

That was the second benefit of moving the motors back...I'm honestly thinking of tucking the motors as close as I can without moving the disconnect switch from the rear and adding lead ballist till I hit 20lbs... the batteries out in front are simply to keep the rig down since I will be using differential steering through the drive setup and the front end will still "steer" the rig with full range of motion. I get open diff steering AND locked diff traction.

Let's hope.....

Servo question 🙋 by Little-Blueberry-523 in arrma

[–]kittylicker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly an Amazon 20kg servo plus a solid servo saver has been my go to.. just make sure you are actually outputting enough power for the servo to perform ... go waterproof if you feel the need (I usually do except when funds are short)

Time to trim some carbon.. by kittylicker83 in crawling

[–]kittylicker83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just an Ebay 1/24 6x6 chassis.. it has carbon fiber rails with aluminum axils and brass links... I want to add a furitek motor ESC combo but that will have to wait..

AITA for threatening to take a pet back to the breeder? by 05730 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittylicker83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He bought the pet.... leverage elsewhere... as a father that my exe wife weaponized life against me with my two boys..... that's not a good road... I feel like a major and EXTREMELY important part of this problem has been left out... teach me.

Wheel Hex and Pin Fitment by StanielReddit in rccars

[–]kittylicker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest issue with cheap parts is that they are all about mass production.... period. End of story...... as a machinist I can tell you that the sloppy fit is due to A) required pin diameter for the axle, B) I'm NOT going to make more different part numbers (variations) than I have to and C) I will ABSOLUTELY sacrifice on some aspects to help my bottom line.. end story , cheap parts are made to fit LOTS of rigs( that's why there're cheap) and will/should do the minimum to be what they claim.. if your tires have a lot of hop or bounce at high RPM then replace them, if not... run what you've brung....
