My project : a savage brushless in carbon

[Guix67]

Hi all,

I present my project. With a friend, we are making a Savage brushless in carbon. For the moment I’ve only some pieces and 3D of the chassis and the motor mount. The chassis will be longer as a savage X.

The hop ups I’ve :

-Genesis differential
-4 GST shocks
-FLM aluminium towers
-Futaba 3PM 2.4GHz
-red screws
-Baja bug body for extended chassis
-Hitec HS-7955TG titanium gear digital servo
-Servo saver savage X
-Badland and Crime Fighter LPR tires on praline velocity ½ Offset 17mm

What I’m going to buy :

-Bling Racing CVD driveshafts with 17mm hex.
-MBX6T center diff with diff mount
-Savage Flux battery box
-Savage X bulkheads
-A motor

For the moment I've the esc : a MGM 16025-3 160A 🙂

Some pics :

The genesis shocks with the flm towers.

The MGM esc

The baja bug body

The screws with the cen diffs

The cen diff

Then the 3D

We've done a rear motor mount because my friend got a NEU 1527 1D and it's fat 😛


The first 3D we've done:





The last 3D (they're is not finished) :






So now i search a Castle/neu 2200kv motor.

The center driveshafts will be done by a manufacturer.

And sorry for my bad English but I’m French ^^

nice guix.. look forward to see when its done..

 

[Ducman82]

looks like its going to be on sexy rig!

Looks to be an awesome build man, i think id be inclined to go with either the lighter and stiffer flux bulks or even alloy bulks as opposed to the X bulks though.

 

[Guix67]

Thanks all for your comments 😉

I know but a friend give me his X bulks ^^.

Thanks

Cool, i just noticed X bulks under the "going to buy" list, but if you already have them.... Your running CEN diffs anyway so should be good!

All the best man!

Are you going to cut out the extra carbon or leave them solid?

 

[Guix67]

The chassis will be like the 3D 😉

 

[Bankrupter]

K didn't know if you were going for lightness or not

 

[Guix67]

I want a light savage but a resistant too ! I will use it only for bashing so it has to be resistant.

 

[Bankrupter]

your not useing Quasi ISO fiber ? If so you don't need much...

 

[Scott]

Looks like it is going to be a sweet build, Guix.. Can't wait to see more pics..

Like Bank stated if you are using Quasi-Iso sheets you can remove quite a bit and keep the strength, if not using Quasi you can remove some but don't go to far.

How thick are you going with it?

Looks like you have a great start. I assume your using the wide skid to mount battery's? Keep up the great work and keep us updates.

 

[Guix67]

Hi,
What do you mean by Quasi ISO Fiber ? A good quality of carbon ?
All the carbon parts will be in 3 or 4mm (it depends of the price).

Thanks amm for your positiv comments 🙂

 

[Larsenracing]

Quasi-Iso is the way the Sheets are laid up which gives it the strength when bent in any direction, in lamens terms.

 

[Guix67]

Ok. I Don't know yet but our priority isn't the weight 😉

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

If the priorty isn't the weight why use an really expensive material? Why not just use some alum.?

 

[Guix67]

Hi,

I want a light savage but not th emightest savage in the world ^^ I want a strong and light savage that's why i don't remove some carbon.

Some pics of the complete 3D 🙂 Now i have to find a place for the servo :

 

[frddyj]

that is wicked kool

 

[Pope]

When are you doing a physical build?

 

[Guix67]

I don't know what it is :duh:

Whith what do you do it ?

Thanks

 

[Larsenracing]

Very sweet. Great detail as well.

However, if you use Quasi-Iso Carbon you can remove quite a bit of material with out sacrificing the needed strength. Take a look at how much my TVP's are cut out and they are still probably close if not the strongest TVP's on the market. Granted I use a very high quality carbon Fiber.

 

[frddyj]

whats going on with this build? I'm very interested in the esc. ever get her up & running?

 

[Guix67]

Hi,

The TVP has been shiped monday by platinium RC. I hope i will receive them soon and then i'll test all.

But i already have this esc on my MBX5T BL and it works perfectly 😉

 

[BIGDAN89]

so wait prc cutting your tvps or did you order prc tvps ?

 

[frddyj]

and also, where did you buy the MGM?

 

[Guix67]

PRC cut my TVPs. It isn't prc's TVPs.

and also, where did you buy the MGM?

The 2 MGM that i bought were used.

 

[frddyj]

PRC cut my TVPs. It isn't prc's TVPs.

ok, now I'm really dying to see these.

The PRC stuff looks good & all in pics.

But just wait till you actually get them in your hands..... you will drool.


Man I'm glad to see this thread & build moving forward, you really put some good work and talent into the design.

 

[Guix67]

Thank you man 😉

 

[Guix67]

Hello,

I received the TVP's last week but I was on holidays ...

Some pics :







It's beautiful ! And it's a very good quality 🙂

It Weights 581g !
