Let's see those crawlers and trail runners!

[Doom!]

That's some tricky stuff right there!

That's some tricky stuff right there!

The strength of the transmission and running gear to have something that big maneuver like that is crazy

I was tired of ripping up the bottom edge of my Zuul's body, so I designed and 3D printed some sliders that actually protect the Lexan. Also posted up the files on Cults3D (first time doing that) and made my first sale! A whopping $4 into my bank account

I also designed a hybrid bent sheet metal + 3D printed trailing arm mount variant and will have a prototype of that in the next few days, hopefully.

Upgrading my wife's Trx4m Defender.
Metal helical diff gears with overdrive front gears, low range transmission gears, carbon fiber chassis, and bearing kit getting installed.

Started nice and sunny . Had a slight crash . Ended very wet .

Spent a few days in Fruita working out the last details on the Ryft 2.2" rock crawler. Close behind is Kyle with his 2.2" Antero / Dlux Fab build. Overall, we are super pleased with the Ryft's evolution, and will be putting up the build details on the website. Tires make all the difference on this cold and damp sandstone, and the 2.2" Ruptures with CI two-stage foams proved their worth. Excellent combo on both rigs.​

Kyle's Antero / Dlux Fab 2.2 Hybrid. We've used this is as the testing baseline for our Ryft development, meaning that I have to follow this truck's line out on the trail. Easier said than done....

RC Speedy SCX-6 rock buggy with Treal axles and 2.9" JConcepts Landmine tires. It was out first outing with the rock buggy, and it's pretty well dialed in from the get-go. We will design up a set of sliders to tuck up under the tube chassis for a bit of protection.

I didn't realize people were doing these kinds of builds on the SCX6 platform! That's amazing... I would still love to drive an SCX6 one day.


In other 1/10 scale news, I designed some stainless rock sliders for the Zuul and had them lasercut/bent by SendCutSend. The slider is 0.060" 304 stainless and requires the use of a 3D printed trailing arm bracket if you want to continue using the trailing arm setup, otherwise the slider can be used by itself if you are switching over to a 4-link setup.

Trimmed JConcepts 2.2" Scorpio tires on our custom Capra. They did quite well on the technical lava rock in this area and also had a good showing on sandstone. Their soft rubber compound is excellent.

My wifes Defender can crawl now! Still a little top heavy compared to mine with the IR40 body, but dramatic improvements compared to before when it was stock except weighted wheels and new tires. Still have some bigger 63mm JConcepts Scorpios on the way, but its already a lot more fun.

Nice crawling course!

Nice crawling course!

Its a lot of fun for a patio course. Easy to rearrange a few blocks any time it starts to feel repetitive.

Losi Mini-t took my lazy ass for walk!
