Typhon What i did to my Typhon.

Here a small clip to hold the lipo balancing plug.

A good location for the ESC switch.

Fully equipped against the mud...

The plastic cap that secure the sway bar wasn't stiff enough, aluminium has solved this issue...

 

[Piecejointe]

... how?

 

[SAN]

... how?

Because of its thickness the sway bar was bending out the plastic cap when moving with the a-arm, so i just reproduced the same part with a piece of aluminium which allows just the rotation and prevents the sway-bar from moving backwards.

Sorry, I meant the magic behing "just reproduced the same part with a piece of aluminium".

Yeah, just hit the copy button, right?


I suspect he has a drill press and one of these -

I've been wanting one of those 2-d milling vices. Make it much easier to make these little complex parts. Maybe not easy, but easier.

Sorry, i misunderstood your question. so i don't have a milling machine, just a press drill. I make most of my parts with a metal grinder and files. then i finish them with a polishing felt on a hand drill.

The receiver box is moved up for a better accessibility.

Neat A-arm spacer trick!

Thank you nulli, i lost some of these spacers several times so it needed a solution.

the place where i drive my typhoon has many obstacles and i needed a solid bumper. after several tests this the one i never managed to break yet. it is based on the outcast bumper combined with a home made plastic skid plate that stiffens the final assembly.

 

[SAN]

Another broken part that needed to be reinforced...

 

[Piecejointe]

What the hell are you doing to that poor car for these things to break? I have the feeling I abuse mine but nothing ever breaks.

Hi piecejointe, this give you a good idea of my driving skill, I should pass my license!

You and me both buddy. It's my first serious car in 20 years (previous one was on road nitro 1/9 so pretty different) and I still need to master the whole "landing on the wheels not the roof" part.

I have no doubt that you will reach your objective with practice!

It is possible to set the Nero shock piston on our 3.5mm shafts by using aluminium rivets.

The droop screws tend to dig a lot into the chassis ears. Here i have drilled and threaded a small hole and screwed/glued (with epoxy glue) some screws with large head. Then i reduced the thickness of the screw head with my metal grinder.

I'm currently testing some 4 mm shaft on my shocks, will see if it is working properly....
