Hellhorn herja chassis development journey

[Hell horn.]

So I have had plenty of scale Crawlera now. I was wanting to do something different. So I looked in to a different class of Crawler. After some research I found the sporty class. A more full on rock Crawler.  But not overly crazy like some of the moa ones around.  

I stated by heavily modding my gmade r1 chassis.  To get it low and light. Then moved on to making a carbon fibre chassis my self.   Got that almost sorted and then stimpy made me an offer I couldn't resist.  A lovely little ugc chassis and bits.  So after sorting a deal with him.  I'm now half way to building this up. 

Ugc chassis. Ar60s. Scx10 gearbox for now. Ci wheels with rovers. Custom made upper carbon fiber links.  Alu front lower. Steel rear.  

Behind axle steering.   

In the post to me is a set of dlux link/servo mounts. And some spools. 

Next order will be ud/od and vanquish slw hubs.  After that possible beter shocks and a lighter gearbox for it. 

Still needs a lot of messing with and some better parts. But I'm super happy with how it's turning out.   More custom bits to make yet.

Man she just keeps getting better and better 👍. 
 

Cant wait till we can get out for a crawl  - hopefully I’ll have a sporty built up again by then! If not I’ll have to use the MOA 🙀🤪
 

 

[Hell horn.]

Can't wait for the next delivery for it. More carbon parts for it. 

[stimpy]

Yeah you and me both! 
 

Currently sat in the garden modding some tyres! 🙈

[Hell horn.]

I'm working on my losi mini t2 currently.  Modding some slightly bigger wheels for it.

Did something similar last year with a copy Bender SW chassis. climbs like an absolute beast and a thoroughly enjoyable build.

@DartmoorTrails that’s a cool looking rig 👍

[Hell horn.]

Well my parts are now in the Uk. So hopefully not to long before I can get my hands on them.  Front and rear servo/link mounts. Spools. And a cuple little bits. And then from rcbitz. An overdrive set up.  

[Hell horn.]

Sold my mini t Pro. So a few more bits on order now.

Any updates mate? 🤔

[Hell horn.]

Bit of an update on my build. I put it to one side for a while as I had more important stuff I had to sort out. 

But it's getting going again now.

I will have a nice new set of wheels soonish hopefully. My wife's parents are getting me the dlux hamburger gearbox for Christmas for this.   So once I have all of the parts.  I can rebuild it somewhat to improve it no end.  

Also looking for new shocks for it.  

Currently I'm making a battery mount for front axle. And working out how to mount the esc and rx. 

And need to get some nice wrap for it. 

[stimpy]

Getting better and better mate!... Steering angle is spot on now too 👍

[Hell horn.]

Picked up some .4mm  lexen sheet to remake panels. And some more 4mm carbon rod. Makes for fantastic upper links. Super light and strong. But with a bit of flex to help with bumps.  Fingers crossed I have something rather nice in the post on its way to me to. 

Next for this is some nice wrap for it.any one any ideas who could make me some cool skins for it. That don't cost the earth. Thanks guys 

[Hell horn.]

My parcel from dlux finally arrived. Early Christmas present from my wife's parents. 

Super nice but if kit. Simple to build. But feel amazing. Just Need to sort my spare sump plate out for it. And it will all be fitted. 

[Hell horn.]

Well it's fitted. But of a pain to get it in right. Need to adjust the front end a bit now to get it right.  But looks amazing. 

[stimpy]

Looking good man!! Love the drugs and hairdo wrappers in shot - keep ya going man 👍🤣

You take the blue (and white)  pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

 

Actually, don't let it end - let's see more of this creation!

[Hell horn.]

Much lol.  Unfortunately nothing as fun as that. Blood pressure tablets.  Helps to stop my heart from bursting out of my chest. Alien style. 

 

My sporty is most definitely getting there now. 

[DartmoorTrails]

Can't wait to see her all finsihed up👍

 

Need to find somewhere decent to take her to test though; got any local spots lined up?

[Hell horn.]

@DartmoorTrailsI got nothing amazing anywhere close to me.  So will have to try and arrange to go find somewhere.  Best thing anywhere close to me is the rock garden I am building 

[Hell horn.]

After way to much messing around. I finally managed to get the battery to fit behind the servo. 

[Hell horn.]

Swapped the shocks. Shorter by 20mmm. Much nicer now. Moved rx around again. Think this is now in the right place. All feels nice now. Could do with some slightly softer springs.  

Gets a good amount of flex. 

[Hell horn.]

 Bit of messing around with link mount points. Seems to be as good as I can get it now. Plenty of suspension drop and good ride hight. Nothing binds up now. Just need to get my wheels sorted. Working on that currently.  Then it's shocks and lighter springs. Then it's new lockers. Dlux tight ones. To stop the slop in them. After that. It's just about finished.
