Titanium chassis? Where from?

[m-racing]

Titanium chassie and tower from 

https://scorchedparts.co.uk

 

i Show pictures of my chassie and tower and install later this week.

 

 

INFO TITANIUM TOWERS AND CHASSIE :

 

Scorched Parts Shock Towers are a great choice for your truck offering unparalleled strength and durability to weight ratio.

Made from Titanium alloy in Grade 5 (6al-4V) which is over three times stronger than the stock 6061 aluminium and almost twice as strong as 7075 aluminium

Now in an unbreakable 4mm thickness these towers are made for heavy bashing at it's most brutal.

 

 

Titanium is Super strong,. and light in weight,  The absolute best option for you RC Car.  I allows flex also.  So you not break Diffhouses

 

Scorched is in UK.  And wery well know, alot happy customers. Highest rated RC products

They do Parts to many different Arrma rigs like   Kraton, Talion, Mojave. Infraction. Felony and more.  CHECK them out

 

.

 

OKEY TIME FOR UPDATE

 

WIDENERS:

 

I have done this mod to my other 6S Arrma Rigs. And i absolute Love it.-

Hex wideners 13mm +

Makes Rig alot more stable. Not Tumble Womble so much

Only pros, no cons here.

 

 

STOCK HEX vs 13mm +  Fastrax

You can see part number in photo

 

 

Tools and stuff you need

 

You need heat up the stock hexes with strong storm lighter about 15sekonds to get the stock Locktite melt before you can screw them out.

 

Use some graphite fat or something like that to the Silver colored hex pin,  to avoid them to stuck by corrosion, then you are not able to take out them later.

With some fat you can easy take out them when needed, like bearing change or so.

Use also Locktite to the black screw that holds the pin so they not come loose.  Remember use heat at the black screws always when you need remove them to loosen the locktite.

 

 

Three of them done here

 

 

Stock hex vs 13mm + rear

 

 

All 4 done.   1/2 Offset Proline Sling shot Paddle wheels for snow and sand.  NICE and very WIDE     About 1inch wider each side.  Total about 50mm wider car , 2inches.  Alot more stable.

The 13mm hex wideners are very strong and lightweight, almost like stock.  This is one very good and important upgrade to do i think.

I do this to all my 6s Arrma Monster/Truggys always.  The hexes makes also Traxxas 1/2 17mm special hex offset wheels fit.  Also stock 17mm

This is super nice, there is alot TRX Style wheels out there you can fit now with these wideners

 

The wheels  are TRX 1/2 Offset 3.8"

Tires Proline slingshot 3.8"   with inserts

All Tires are Gorilla taped inside 2rounds rear, 3 rounds front to avoid balooning. This is stronger and better than Belted tires i think.

Self glued offcourse = You need buy everything loose, Sandpaper the edges of rims and tires, also inside before you tape them,  matte them down with sandpaper abit so the glue and tape will sit there

for ever !

 

Soon more updates.

There will be alot.

Make sure sub this

 

BONUS INFO ABOUT TITANIUM CHASSIES VS ALUMINIUM

 

 

This chassis is around 20% stiffer than the stock chassis. This means the chassis will still flex to absorb impacts but will still tauten handling and response.

This is a direct replacement. All standard fixings can be re-used.

Additional expensive skid plates or droop screw stops are not required - the titanium is tough and isn’t going to wear down like aluminium. Taking this into account, the Titanium is the strongest, and also most cost effective choice.

At 590g it is lighter than some other aftermarket chassis whilst making no sacrifice of durability.

A really fun thing also happens - the titanium will give a shower of sparks when it catches hard surfaces! 

Material Properties Comparison 

Titanium Ti-6Al-4V

Density    4.43 g/cc

Tensile strength to yeild 880 Mpa

Modulas of elasticity   113.8 GPa

 

Aluminium 6061-T6

Density    2.7 g/cc

Tensile strength to yeild 276 Mpa

Modulas of elasticity   68.9 GPa

 

Aluminium 7075-T6

Density    2.81 g/cc

Tensile strength to yeild 503 Mpa

Modulas of elasticity   71.7 GPa

[m-racing]

Sorry guys, no updates by Pictures right now

 

Only update i done is i have mount a better Servo to my EXB Mojave.

One very good , i have same in my EXB Kraton now.

The servo is  TARGET MONSTER KILLER DMOND 28kg,  full aluminium, waterproof, high volt, brushless

 

 

This Servo is my new Favorite of them all.  To these 6s Rigs ( heavy. big. and fast rc cars )

I have try 20kg Sävox titanium coreless and other servos before.

[m-racing]

I have done alot.

 

I have hard time Update it on internet.

To much goes on in the real 

sorry

 

Couple new shots

 

 

Huge new Interco Tires to Kraton build.

Gorilla taped inside= avoid balooning

New combo . Huge 1/5 size

New bashing body shell in my personal colors

 

 

I like have all my rc cars whit neon orange paint at front !!  green ending.

WHY?

Because, This is the most higly visible color combo everywhere.  snow, asphalt, sand, grass. 

I can easy see where my front is, from far away, this helps me controll vehicle on spot better.

This is important 2 me.

I really hate the stockl EXB black bodies, ,  no one can see them far away when blasting hard after tumble wumble or spinnout.  :)

Black stock EXB bodies: They look great, 

In visiblity they suck,    they are only good at white snow maybe :) Not there either.

I need neon colors in my own way :)

 

I love these neon orange front bodies i do. why?

  They are so easy see far away and understund what position you have  after spinn-arounds or tumble wUmbles  HEHEHE :)

This is the only important for me,

i dont care about the looks, 

Only important 2me is : the Performance, handling, visibily.

 

New wheels are huge,  picture compared to 3.8 proline badlands.

these interco 3.8 are huge and nasty.

My new huge combo will handle them easy.  no matter the extra size or weight :)

i LOVE these huge new wheels.

wheels match colorwise to the body also, this will help alot also after tumble wumble and spinnouts.

This is smart thing, both body and wheels shows where you at from far distances also ;)

great great !

 

 

Alot is going on.

 

Alot cars needs to be done here,  you can see my new Titanium build  to left in my last picture here

 

Mojave EXB also got some updates . 

I have alot new pictures, and things to talk about, 

But,  Sorry,   Im out of time now.  

 

Next week i update .

need to go now,

Bye,  see ya

Happy weekend all

Hello :)

 

Just a Quick Update.

 

I have installed 8s combo in my EXB Mojave today.

 

 

My camera goes bad again, i will buy new soon :)

 

Motor is Spektrum Firma 1250kv  8s,  

SPMXSM1200  SPEKTRUM 1250kv Brushless

4985 size ( pretty huge )  Fits Perfectly anyways.

 

ESC is MAX6 

 

I will try it with 21t pinion tomorrow.

 

 

The lock tite at Pinion must dry this night.

 

My very First run with this combo will happen Tomorrow daytime.   I will be back after i try it with more info and better Pictures.

I need sleep now :) _ Wish me good luck tomorrow :) LOL

[.AJ.]

Good luck!

[m-racing]

thanks Buddy  AJ.

 

My first run i have done today. with this new 8s kraton motor,  max6 esc.

 

It did go well. Im so happy now,. What a beast.

 

I really love this new setup

i can highly recommend all Mojave owners this combo. 

Max6  and  Spektrum 1250kv 8s 4985

 

This is better than Max6 1650kv 6s combo actually.

 

Max6 1650 4985 combo gets 8 of 10 from me.  I have drive it both 6s and 8s.     About 5 6s runs, and 10 8s runs before.  The motor is dead now.  Hobbywing 4985 motor can handle max 6s

 

This Spektrum 1250kv is the same motor as 8s Kraton and Outcast 8s have stock.

It handles 8s well and heavy rigs because of this 🙂

 

21t pinion is Perfect mach also.

 

I did my very first rc video today also.

 

I will link it when it has upload to Youtube.  It takes a while.

 

This video is short,  shot today, my first action cam video ever i done.

I forgot mic on, and other very beginner mistakes is there.

It will be better in future.

 

I will do alot more videos and learn about this.

 

Link to my video =  soon  ,   i need let it upload first.  i have pretty slow internet 😞

 

Anyway i love this rig.

Best set up ever with these Louise wheels and Spektrum 8s Kraton motor ,   MAX6 ESC , 21t PINION, what a beast.

It was fun  Snow drift today.

I hit about 60mph,  good speed at ice/snow conditions.  I have Punch setting 4 of 5 , about 80%   and it drifts alot.

 

With stock wheels and 6s it would never happen,.  Maybe 40mph max like the conditions was today.

 

Summer i go all in, 5 of 5  100% punch 🙂  and maybe have bigger pinion also, 23-24t   This thing will be extreme then 🙂

 

This new set up is absolute amazing.  Best ever.

I have try alot set ups in this EXB Mojave.  2200kv castle,    1650kv hobbywing 6s,    1900kv,  and now this 1250kv 8s Kraton with MAX6

 

i give this kraton 8s Spektrum motor,  Max6  and 21t  pinion  10 of 10

AMAZING 🙂

 

im very happy now 🙂

 

Im so happy that i have Order more of these Kraton 8s motors and Max 6 escs now.   i will have them to my Kraton EXB , and Talion also 🙂

 

this is one Amazing combo , and cheap,  motor is only 140 euros,   wow

Thanx alot dude 🙂

 

I will make new video and better next week 🙂  

----------------

 

Today im fixing with cooling fans to this new 8s Combo .  

I dont need them now in winter. I will anyways have them installed and fixed this weekend.

TheY can be great have ready to hot summerdays in future.

 

 

The motor is once again the Spektrum 8s motor that sits stock in the large scale Kraton 1/5 8s RTR.

Size is 4985

 

That Sky RC is one cheap 1/5 dual fan thing,  price is only 10-11 british pounds, I got it from Wheelspin

Sad thing that this is too big for 49 size,   this is to the really big 52 size motor i believe they are ?   anyway the one size that is bigger than 49.s

If i use saw i can have it fit,  biggest issue is that this SkyRC fan is 2-3mm longer than the engine after the cables.

So i will not use it.

 

Insteath i have one Yeah Racing Copy dualfan made to 42 size motors.

I just bend it easy with hands, and it will fit on top of the 49size motor nice.

I need use stripes or something to have it sit on the motor.

I will fix this tomorrow. And tell how i did it exactly then.

 

 

Here you can see the Size comparation 42mm castle 1515  to this 4985 Spektrum 1200 motor

 

 

 

And down here you can see that  4985 Hobbywing motor is almost same size.

Hobbywing motor 1650kv  i have burned  ,  R.I.P  it cant handle 8s.

Second issue with Hobbywing 4985 motor is that it is 1-2mm bigger / fatter because its cooling fins. Sadly they scap the chassie.

 

 

The great thing with Spektrum 8s 1250kv motor is that you have 1mm free distance at bottom,  No chassie scatches,

Safer = when sending / big jumps ,  Chassie flex is allowed.

Also the air goes around the motor = better when it gets hot.

I dont like use silicone at the bottom because this cause heat blocking.

To say it short=  This Spektrum 8s motor is like made to these Arrma EXB rigs.  They fit perfect,  Almost like they are made for these cars.

The power and throttle response is better also than 49 6s hobbywing.

Max6 esc is very great ESC to this motor.

Or you can use the Spektrum Firma 160a ESC also, this motor is made for that ESC.

Anyways Max 6 Esc is perfect match also.  And cheapier.

 

The nice thing is that this combo is very cheap,  great, and powerfull. Motor only 140 euros,  Esc is about same also

You have everything for 300euros ( with programmer card also )  the simple programmer box hobbywing

300euros is like 280 british pound i think ?  This is cheap , and Great.

 

I recommend this combo to all EXB rig owners,  or V4-V5 Arrma 6s owners,  also all Mojave V1 and V2 Owners .

Please try this combo.

You will be happy.

4s lipos are only 10-15 euros more each Compared to 3s lipos.

And 8s is alot more better than all 6s combos i have try before.

Go get this combo self now please.

Thank me later

20-21t pinion is great to start with

 

You will have one super strong nice combo that runs cool.   tons of power.  Nice throttle curve and response .   100% lucky with this my self.

Best combo ever !!!

 

I have been in this RC car hobby more than 20years,  i have drive alot combos, alot different rigs.

Anything from 1/18 to 1/5 gasoline rigs.

My all time favorite car is this Mojave EXB with this 8s combo.  This is the best , most fun, and most durable rig i ever have.

Second place will be the Kraton EXB.  Soon i have this same combo to my Kraton EXB also.  I have order it already.

Right now i drive it 6s.  It is great,  anyways, i know it will be better with 8s like my Mojave 🙂

 

Down here you can see the 42size dual fan mount i bent slightly with my hands only,  fittet on top to this 4985 8s 1250 motor.

 

 

Now i need find out how i can get it sit there,  maybe i use stripes,  i fix this tomorrow.

If you have any idea , then give me a tip 🙂  

i cant use the stock 42size bottom, it will be too tight, i cant have screws if i bent the bottom also. 

I believe stripe bands will fix this

 

Last but not least.

I highly recommend this DUSTY MOTORS universal chassie cover size XXXL   ,    3x XL 

This is better than the Scorsched parts fenders.

Ultimate is use both like me.

I have the Scorsched fenders and also this XXXL Dust cover.

 

Why ?

No stones to gears ever.

This will save your drive line, main gear, motor, motor pinion, drive line bearings , elektronics, fans and all.

YES you must have it if you love your rig and like to take care of it.

You dont need use alot washing , wd40, or silicone anymore.

You wil save this money quick ,  the dust cover will be free soon.

And your rig will run better, , less service needed.

Never any fan issues or combo problems either 🙂

 

 

Order this Dusty Cover now.

What ever RIG you have, there are many sizes avaible, from XS  to 5xl

Also they have model specific ones to many rigs.

Higly recommend these Dusty Motor covers.

 

You hand wash them like once in month, use some Gore-Tex impregnt spray, to make it waterproof and so on.

 

HAPPY WEEKEND ALL   RC maniacs 🙂

 

pssst:

Go buy these wheels also if you own one Mojave 1/7 please.

They are alot better , and alot cheapier than stock wheels.  I know i have tell this before already.

Good and great tip is worth repeat twice sometimes 🙂

 

 

 

 

More to come soon 🙂

 

[m-racing]

Been very busy with alot stuff.

 

Just a Quick post:

 

Finally both my EXB rigs got MAX6  1250KV 8S Spektrum Firma motor combos

 

These are better than 6s 4985 combo by Hobbywing.

These are made run 8s.

Hobbywing 4985 did die with 8s.

 

I have drive many times this 8s firma / max6 combo now in my Mojave EXB.
