Quasimoto Rampage XB build

[designed2survive]

Funny you said the steering was jumpy. It happened to me too and I linked mine today. Works great now and no more independently wobbling wheels on take off or turning.

 

[phreerider]

after the paddle tire thing and then 2wd, just did not notice, but the wheel torque from the drive line over powers servo and makes wheels turn in while under power load.

4wd drive just needs it. 2wd delusional episode

no wonder the steer linkages wear so fast, considerable load.

 

[phreerider]

despite daily sailing , i managed to sequeeze in a few runs and of course threaded the needle 1 time too many times and finally fully jacked the chassis on a steel post.

oh well, i guess thats the definitive indication that perhaps its time to jump onto the new chassis. pics soon

 

[phreerider]

when new stuff is at hand, man, the old stuff is truly doomed

unit as a whole delivered some serious runtime and fun





starting FPV quad project next week, so distraction are rolling in, once i break this unit down, the rebuild on new modded chassis will be ready for fall. plenty pics in the process and will ponder new motor as well.... if wind is weak this spring/summer may be done sooner.

 

[designed2survive]

That's a nasty hit!

And you asked how he stopped without brakes...lol....

 

[phreerider]

in a flash, crack!

 

[phreerider]

full on pilot error, ripping a tight spot i shouldn't have been ripping on ..just couldn't get enough.

And you asked how he stopped without brakes...lol....

Hahaha! No shame in break assistance

 

[phreerider]

new stuff needs breaks like this...otherwise i would not be motivated to change.

 

[BertR]

You should change the thread Quasimodo to Wasamoto lol.

 

[phreerider]

funny... now its in phixamoto stage.

 

[designed2survive]

I vote for allfunmoto instead.

placed orders , making time (and REST!) new project coming. sticking to the XB program. teardown pics of Q as i go, comparing, improvement steps, set up and my fav, PART WEAR !

tear down pics will be on this thread , reassemble into PHRESH! and will be under new thread with working NAME ---->TRENCHCAT.... rip ready , picture/vid ready along the way. should comeout swinging mid-september, or so maybe sooner

 

[phreerider]

ok heres where we left off, Q jacked



and heres where we are headed



and the factory part hack for dual steer

 

[phreerider]

but first , i digress...old business of time and pressure

hmmm, the insert is new!

 

[phreerider]

here we got back side , definitely opening up.

paired with fresh stock part







and stock part goes right on 7075rc boxes

 

[phreerider]

yep, joker is smoothered in phreshness



indeed the same size

 

[phreerider]

on to chassis cracks and bent backs

looking for hot spot of movement

heres the top



the load knows bows, back end bucking pretty good



flexion leading to separation , crack propagation in rear (within circles)



flexion underneath rear box



for the unending cartwheel sessions this chassis has seen, i'd say its definitely impressive.
