Re: HL Truck Mods
Nice work Nick
My metal driveshafts have arrived.
I’m concentrating on the WC51 at the moment, so I’ve taken some measurements & tweaked the offsets on the dual motor mount, I’ll print it tomorrow but I think Gary will be printing his now.
Cheers

Re: HL Truck Mods
Yeah, just finished the print. I like those metal driveshafts, are they threaded for a set screw to hold them in place? That's one thing I still have to figger out, attaching the plastic drive shafts to the shafts on the dual motors, but I got some ideas.

Re: HL Truck Mods
180 motor arrived today. I couldn't wait, so I installed it. Ooo dang does the truck move now! I can't wait for the new electronics to show up.

Re: HL Truck Mods
Chase, have you timed it for scale speed with the new motor? 150 mph? 200?

Re: HL Truck Mods
My front axle had a tendency to slip with the old motor. With the new one, the truck will just sit there spinning the rear tires in a burnout. Hopefully the front axle on the GAZ (that should be arriving today) is more solid. If not, I'll need to disassemble and start gluing. lolMax-U52 wrote:Chase, have you timed it for scale speed with the new motor? 150 mph? 200?

Re: HL Truck Mods
The axles come apart easy enough, I glued the two plastic bearings for the input shaft in place & I glued the bevel gear onto the end of the shaft as the serrations on the shaft do next to nothing to hold the gear in place.

Re: HL Truck Mods
Yeah, I was thinking about doing that. The funny thing is, the rear axle is solid enough that it will twist enough to separate the driveshaft lol. I plan on making a realistic suspension for the rear tandem axles, so it shouldn't do that when I'm done.midlife306 wrote:The axles come apart easy enough, I glued the two plastic bearings for the input shaft in place & I glued the bevel gear onto the end of the shaft as the serrations on the shaft do next to nothing to hold the gear in place.
