hey guys,

as all of my other projects are on hold due to their own reasons. some need parts, some need things fixed. to keep me busy i started another project. one i have been wanting to do for a while.

its an H2 crawler.

so far:



the servo i will be using:

this one is MUCH bigger than an HS-55. comparison pics later.





i am going to have to cut off that little silver bump on the main gear.

it is an Ultra Torque hitec servo. it has 6 kg of torque. it is used in monster trucks such as the revo, savage, madforce etc. 1/8th scale nitros.

this project will go by pretty quick. so keep checking it out.

any suggestions?

later T.I.M

Thanks.

Man I haven't updated this thread for a while. Anyway, I have done a LOT of work. here is the progress:

UPDATE: 1/10/08

i cut the silver thing:



gotta love dremels:halo:

when i opened it up i realized that the silver thing is not the ONLY thing stopping the servo from rotation 360*:


see that? its molded like that!.....

BUT.......nothing my dremel can't take car off:D :

i cut off the WHOLE part as i won't be needing it.:D

so i got the servo to turn 360*:


:D

that is not the permanent gear, that is messed up, not even as u can see in the video. will use another one later.

so what do you guys think so far?

once again, all comments, suggestions are welcome

UPDATE: 4/10/08.

so when i tried to mount it, this is what happend:


it touches the tires.....

not to worry, once again i am saved by the dremel. :D:

i saw that after cutting all the extra wires, i had a LOT of hollow space:



after cutting it up, i decided that i did not want any dirt getting in there. so i made use of the dremel:D,some sandpaper and a cd case:




AND FINALLY......... ITS MOUNTED!!!!!:

a pic of the articulation:

custom skid plate:

and.................

A VIDEO!!!:

a pic of how steep the first run was:

^thats a lot.

and the video:

so what do you guys think?
any feedback?

THANK YOU.

ok, its been a while. my project has been slowed down a bit because of school and due to the fact that XI ran out of his monster truck tires. so i'm waiting for him to stock back up.

anyway:

i have done the bumpsteer and wide axel mod:

rewired the battery with AM 16g wire and relocated it to the front:



increased the articulation:

it can articulate at right angles.

started to cut up the servo gearbox for the hs-55 to take its place:





took the wire from over^

comparison pics between an HS-55 and my servo:





will update soon again.

any ideas on how to mount the steering servo?

thanks

any suggestions?

They took me noe more than 5 min to cut up and mount:P:

^ How they are mounted. Flipped truck wheel glued on to the Lego rim.


The Lug nut driver fits perfectly through the hole.


Size comparison.

I took out a Gear from a CD drive, mounted it and then this happened after 15 sec.:
:( Now I need a new one.

Oh, and BTW guys, I have something VERY special planned for this. I'll let the pics talk:



:D:bigwink:

all C&C welcome:D
