Hell horn. Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 No the hangers are fixed to the hubs. They don't spin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hey Hell Horn I can picture it now, thats really quite ingenious yet as with all good ideas obvious! Barring dirt ingress in the rims, possibly causing any obstruction are there any downsides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring dirt ingress in the rims, possibly causing any obstruction are there any downsides? The big downside is you lose a good chunk of the flex you get from tyres. With the wheels we use. They run tyres about 5.5 Inch. So with a 2.2 wheel we get 3 inches of flex give or take a bit. Remove an Inch or so from the hanger part of the wheel. It makes choosing foam's even more important to get right. To hard and the Tyre doesn't flex enough. To soft and it bottoms out on the tyre to easily. Get it right and jackpot. Not everyone wants to or needs to run this set up. I just wanted to build an option into my range of parts if wanted. And I want to give it a try and see how much or a difference it makes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could try and make something to do that. And see if it would work. But I'm guessing that there isn't anything in the market that does this. Might mean it's not worth working on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangers sat on a separate bearing... trouble is they can rock around sometimes causing jerkiness.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any hard bump or movement is going the make the weights swing around messing everything up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Did some more work on the larger front weight hangers. Think the hanger is finished now. Just got to finish design on the wheel part now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Bit slow this week or 2. Little one on holiday so all my time is spent looking after him. And having massive fun messing around. Then I got the flu at the weekend. So that's me done for most of this week. But managed to smash the Capra herja together. Just need to make some links next and a few bits to arrive to finish it off .and got any idea in the pipe line. Ideas ideas ideas. Always to many to make them all. But slowly coming together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Some slow progress on this. Got some parts printed in pa12 from weerg to test the quality. Spot on so will be using them again. Made progress on a lot of my ideas for part's. I launched my page on Facebook. Viking cove RC. Feel free to have a look. It's my home for all my parts I'm making. My herja chassis. My wheels. The items I design and print for people. And weight hangers for all sorts of car's. As for the Herja chessis. Not much to say. It's been running Nicely all year. And now with the nicer parts from weerg it's all set to go live. Once I can get a bunch made that is. Got a small run of my wheels being made. Available in a month ish.

Hell horn. Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 An update on the Viking cove RC parts. Chassis is not changed other then an upgraded skid. Now it comes with m3 inserts fitted for extra strength. New body nuts. Smaller and fitted with m3 inserts. I have designed a gearbox. It uses rc4wd bully gears. Compact and light. This one is designed for flat Axles. I'm getting the last bits made for my test unit this week. And as long as that goes well. I will be selling a kit for the gearbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 I also make a set of 2.2 wheels. Carbon fiber face and a main body made from reinforced pa12 for super light weight and strength. Fully beadlock set up. And with an id of 56mm plenty of room to fit over portals and weight hangers. The hangers are for Capra axles. I also make them for you he bully axles and ar60 set ups 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
