Just a short preview of my new Mini-X conversion

Rock crawling with a sports car?







Looks like it will be possible!

diets - rock crawling rocks

[DanielS]

Looks fairly good - will post first pictures of my project soon - target is/was very similiar
Do you use a motor per axle or a single motor layout ?

[DanielS]

So here come the picture of my rear-axle and modified Mini-z drive train with Graupner U_joints

[diets]

@DanielS
This looks pretty good. Could you post a pic from the opposite side.
What is the maximum bend angle of the graupner u-joints? Can they handle movements in the length?

diets - refuses to buy them till now, because of the high price

[DanielS]

Hi

So I made a picture of my drivetrainlayout - my biggest issue with this is length - but I think i can get rid of an additional 25mm than it will be fine

I can't tell you yet what is the maximum usable bend - and they only can flex limited in length due to ther plastic nature

and best of all in my hobby shop I got a set with 2mm to 3,2mm so a perfect fit for my layout for 4,30€

Some test's to see what's possible on a real trial track






diets - verschränkt sich gerne

@danielS
Looks good - but some more work to do

[lowam]

that is awesome.good work!

[helldriver]

Wow..! That was really good articulation. Can you tell me about universal joint for the motor to front and rear diff? What U-join u use? Is that main diff came from Mini Z?
Thank you.

Hi Helldriver
These are two different car's.

The pictures posted by DanielS show his car with the Mini-Z diff and the graupner u-joints. I don't know how much articulation is possible.

The pictures with the large articulation are from my car. The drive train is made with modified Mini-X parts. I will post some more pictures with details, if you like.

diets - hopes the body will arrive soon

[helldriver]

Yes please. I'd love to see the details.
Can't wait.
Thank you.

@helldriver
Sorry for the delay

diets - if you have questions - don't hesitate - ask

[helldriver]

GREAT JOB..!!!
Thank you.

[helldriver]

Where is the motor? How is the engine mounted?
Thank you.

[diets]

Maybe you didn't found the motor, because there are actually two of them





Gearbox ratio
worm gear 1:20
middle diff 8 : 35
axes diff 8:35
overall ratio 1:382,5

This is really slow and a huge amount of torque, perfect for crawling

I have a different setup for cruising and jumping, as well. I will post pic's, when i'll have changed the setup.

diets - you should always have more the one setup

[3series takumi]

i bow down to you. that is SICK!!!!

you are the X master
