Grafil Rally build

[Knuckles]

Sweet!!!!

What is next?

 

[Ol' fart]

The drivetrain is next, then the motor and ESC. Any down time waiting for parts will be spent on the body.

Made an upper deck to hold the ESC, capacitor pack and a BEC pro. The receiver will be located in the traditional location. Motor is on the way, 2028 with the dbl fan pack.

This car will have a fully covered under carriage so it's time to mount that and the body mounts.

You should put together an ultimate package that includes all your parts for this build.

 

[TXflycat]

Amen to that! I'll be first to sign up for purchase....if I can beat you other guys to it!

Ol'fart, I have a question for you.... I noticed at the beginning of the thread you mentioned that you would be testing a belt drive on this build. Do you already have something in mind for the belt/pulleys? I have been picking up pieces of an Xb here and there with the intention of converting it to electric, belt drive. I was going to wait until I finished (even if it took me a year) to post my build on the forum. I have been looking into belts and pulleys....different pitches, etc. I figured that I would try out different widths and pitches until I found one that didn't get the teeth ripped off of it. This is the site I was looking at for the hardware:

Anyway....let me know, if you would, what you have in mind for the drive?

I love this build you have going here.....

Regards....

i have ordered belts and pullys but they are not in yet. I'm trying to find parts that fit in my motor mount and hold up to the 2028 sized motor.

I ordered 3mm pitch x 15mm wide HDT belts, an 18T and a 72T pully's. I'll also be trying my delrin/aluminum gears and a set of steel gears.

 

[TXflycat]

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your parts and the pictures you post. Up until that time, the belt drive will have always been just a vision in my head!!

Cheers...

No belt parts yet but I got the rest of the electric parts in.

As you can see the 2028 fits fine.

That's a good shot of the new steering set-up.

This is the basic layout of the electronics.

The instructions for the BEC PRO say to plug everything into the receiver but that's 6 plugs into four outlets ?? I think I'll run a small battery pack for the two fans and switch it manually.

Looking good im starting to want an electric

 

[BoukeG]

Just wondering if you would run 2 4S packs in series or 2 8S packs in parallel.

 

[Ol' fart]

Two four cells in series.
