Re: Project LiPoSuction
I gotta say: those gold track power lipos look awesome underneath those black battery straps! ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: Project LiPoSuction
Here's a partial scan of the old RRP ad showing the steering system:Phin wrote:Thanks for the explanation. If I'm picturing it right then as the wheels turn the king pin going through the steering spindle at an angle will make the front axles travel in an arc that keeps the bottom of the tire planted in roughly the same spot while the top of the tires will still move. I'm guessing that causes toe and camber changes in the wheel but those changes seem like they should be balanced out as the suspension compresses.

Probably a beat-up Viper for now. I have an unpainted Protech that might go on it later. The wing is a stock AE one that I made bi-level by adding a piece of lexan with nylon rivets.littleVETTE wrote:sweet. loving the foams. what body and wing are you going to use?

Re: Project LiPoSuction
Spectacular! Thanks for posting that ad. Does leave me wondering though....if they worked so well why wasn't the idea picked up by RC car designers since.
Anyway, I won an interesting chassis on eBay last night and may be doing a saddle pack RC10 build myself soon.

Re: Project LiPoSuction
take notice that the majority of races in that ad are oval races. dirt oval specifically, which didn't get the coverage off and on road did.Phin wrote:Spectacular! Thanks for posting that ad.

i would also believe that 2-5% of the people that installed those parts on their car were actually a good enough driver/chassis guy to even feel the difference.
oh, they came as standard equipment on the trinity reflex-10.

Re: Project LiPoSuction
I finally took some pics of the latest version of this project. I need to buy a new Viper body and trim it to match the new lowered suspension.

Re: Project LiPoSuction
I'll say this much, your wiring is a heck of a lot neater than anything I have! The car looks great with the alloy wheels.

Re: Project LiPoSuction
Too slick Dave! I dig the lexan cover on the Track Master. I will have to steal that nifty idea
Those batteries must be heavy. The 5800 weighs 11oz. Either that or your scale/my scale is off.
