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?

Mind sharing how you did this?
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!!!:

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
Later T.I.M

Nice, if I had cash I'd be making a crawler. Can't wait to see the finished product.
