Oh really, ok thanks for the info I’ll have to keep this in mind when I start tweaking ride feel. I don’t currently need a ton of lean yet. I was originally running stiffer bushings in front so having swapped that out already makes a world of difference.
As you can see, my axel is lowered about as far as it can go without putting the nut up top.
Beyond ride feel, the many different configurations to tune height and angles really make these a joy to use.
Oh I never even thought about putting the nut on top… would that still act as a jam nut though? Since we’d be jamming against the deck instead of the baseplate…
Shiiit I really don’t want to take it apart again lol. Not sure I could go lower though
You’d essentially drill the through hole bigger then put the nut on the top of the baseplate I believe. Otherwise, no, I wouldn’t recommend doing this.
At that point it might be hard to get the radius rods mounted with enough angle for good turn tho. Not sure.
Gripped an wrapped the deck. Went for basic grip job this time, as I learned from the Northcamp racing is too intense for intricate designs. They were out of stock of the vinyl color I wanted so settled for this “fresh spring”. It’s not exactly what I had in mind but it definitely highlights the curves as I was hoping it would.
Not too concerned about heat. The MakerXs have been pretty good about not getting hot due to their construction. And with 4wd I’m dispersing the work over two ESCs. My two D100 never got over 70c on the hottest summer days (in Portland at CarvePDX lol). But worst case yeah I’d probably mill a custom heat sink.
Alright battery done, not my prettiest but should do the trick till I upgrade someday . Power harness, power button, and loop key done done and done. Power harness was a bitch to solder but should be good to go. Things starting to get cramped already .
This loop key although very very premium sticks out a bit far. We’ll have to see the clearance at full lean. For peace of mind I may replace it with a basic one.
Came real close fellas, but no cigar. Everything is wired up Minnie, remotes (ZMote and Puck), phases, sensors, loop key, and power button. It’s a goddamn rats nest, but it all fits and there should be no rubbing .
