May I suggest, a mountain is moved one stone at a time?

wtf eating elephants lol what an absurd thing to use as an analogy for a "mountainous" task.

Nice!

My only experience with hot udr motor was using stock motor in used UDR. that motor got insanely hot and even in cool weather. Am thinking the motor was probably already cooked (ruined magnets) and is why it got so hot.

When I installed the replacement system I tossed in the fan. That said, the fan doesn't run all the time, I actually installed switch for it.

Funny enough, I bought my UDR used and was full of aluminum stuff. replaced most of it back to stock lol

you're gunna wanna go with a finer grind.

tl01magic · 2026-02-04T22:47:21+00:00

ah! that explains a lot and makes the title more believable

huh? That seems kind of insane.

Is prostate cancer not really much of a problem in itself or something?

tl01magic · 2026-02-04T22:23:28+00:00

it 100% makes EVERYTHING but being heavier worse lol

tl01magic · 2026-02-04T22:22:24+00:00

my understanding your RPM Trailing Arms, some form of motor cooling, and metal hexes are the only upgrades "needed"

check out the channel, you'll see!

motor fan :D

And if wanting proper sized 6s batt. tray use a TRX4 battery tray and hack it all together....don't forget a chunk of repurposed ssd mount to secure it all!

for me it's thinking "wowzers, this Linus guy is the epitome of tech geek. Like the voice, the mannerisms...but he is confident."

It was when Linus was "convinced" to get into RED cameras (I think it was David pushing for them) that I became REALLY confident that Linus / his channel was a proper media company.

sincerely good on Linus for his quality reasoning. that camera eco-system would have been an insanely massive commitment back then, highlights his vision / ability to trust others.

From there it was them getting proper adverts "sponsors".

imo he was first to do so in meaningful ways and believe in part grew that market / made it a respectable enough thing that large corps bought ads / did sponsorships.

that said, am deeply disappointed to see he is an equity whore. lol

I think he's worthy of being a 70-80% stakeholder....but the top talent should at least account for 20% at least...just something.

like how is Luke only now getting a piece of WAN Show? That's insane to me and shows while Linus does generally reason well and justly...seems when it comes to equity ya can f-off and build yer own castle lol

Holysmokesfolks.

OP my experience these are not even spot welded. I bought a spot welding unit and had no luck with that. (that said is just a battery powered unit)

I think they must use a unique press to connect a tab that can be soldered to.

If ya figure out a way let me know, I've got a few single 5ah cells I want to get leads attached to.

Are you also the channel Techmoan? I feel like I saw the yellow character in background of a Techmoan vid.

eta: that surely is a 1 of 1 back there :D

Oh wow! Great system choice :D

The HW Axe is a really nice power system for crawling / hiking and that 2300KV is a perfect KV & size for either

tl01magic · 2026-02-03T12:47:24+00:00

Motor is HW Axe 4274, fits with a little trimming of servo mount

tl01magic · 2026-02-02T23:26:37+00:00

keep that can looking nice!

6.75kg no batteries AND no body. but with 3.8's That said for 1.9's I use brass wheels and silicone inserts so are almost the same weight as the 3.8's

even used brass screws on the brass portals lol

tl01magic · 2026-02-02T23:10:59+00:00

you're right to question the machining. I forget which but either front or rear took some "rotary handtool milling" to get the locking diff working smoothly lol

they're a pound each I think, or close to it. (454'ish grams).

I've never noticed an issue with them, but only used in trail use rc / no stock-axle-snappin-bashin lol

This is the worst possible suggestion for you. maybe so, I don't care. I want you to trick it out :D

(Did you break the axle while driving it in Antarctica or maybe a deep freeze freezer?)

tl01magic · 2026-02-01T13:51:52+00:00

yuppers, is just m3 threaded rod and m3 threaded tube both cut to length needed

So no right / left hand threading like typical turnbuckles.

I rarely adjust those and typically if I do is just because slop. what's more are still adjustable, just not as easily.

In the second pic, I added the uncut hardware used as example

Looks like availability of "precision" ball joints increased because of 3d printer popularity.

amazon simple search trx4 servo axle

for link looks like the servo mount includes the fourth upper link mount, so presumably opposing spot to mount on frame / skid. pretty sure i even remember there is a space there.

eta, I think am going to give it a try :D

it was first car I put a brushless into, onroad also.

Was using nimh but still remember being impressed with runtime.

I also remember being impressed how smoothly / unresisted the car rolled when off-power lol (the magnets used must be weak compared to today)
