Default H2 Crawler

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

that servo aint half the size of the one i got from another rc car, but i also have a h2, it isnt my crawler though, thats my f150s job lol, but my hummer has custom tires, body lift, offroad kit, lights, tire carrier. it's more of a rally truck

haha. so you use the same one huh? well then you should have an idea on how much torque it has. 6 kg is no joke.
if you want i have another HS645 that i am willing to hack open if you want to see it. this one well.... its not the same anymore..... you'll know what i mean tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

and yeah, i figured i was only going to make one crawler. so why not do it right the first time.
hopefully if it goes well, i will make more crawlers BTW i noticed its VERY VERY easy to make a crawler

now to the main part:


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 :



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

so i got the servo to turn 360*:




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

later T.I.M

thanks. the servo is VERY heavy. i need to make the weight distribution a little more equal. its waaaaay off. like maybe 15:85 . i will do a battery relocation to fix that.

keep the comments coming guys!

EDIT: the truck in the background is my Tamiya Twin Detonator. i have a separate thread on it over on STLR's forum. check it out

Thanks!

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

because its easier to pull than push. so if you have a honda civic, and its going to get snow in over night, you better back into your parking space, so you can drive forward in the morning. (pulling the car out, vs pushing it out)



thats a sick project!!! awesome work. but one question...


where ya going to find a body to sit right and cover all that stuff you have sitting so high on top of the chassis lol!!

i hope its a custom suv body, looks like thats going to be your only choice! very nice though!
