    Morning all,

    A quick preview

    04212ac5aa4f9eaf3cfff4fce0e4c3f8.jpg

    Currently on the brushed motor the bearing housing limits the movement on this version, which isnt a bad thing as on the near limit highlighted in red gets the motor housing a fag papers width away from the front drive output cup. This is if you've still got the metal band on the motor like i have.

    I probably didn't try to go below a 17 teeth above is the plastic prototype from ...2017.

     

    If I get some time I'll have a look in the garage over the weekend and dig it out ... but I'm notoriously unreliable so we'll see 😄

    My apologies all, I'd made this years ago now 🙄 I cant be bothered looking through the whole of this tread to see if anyone else made an adjustable mount for the Outlaw

     

    So I still cant find the actual STL file for the cad side but noticed the site I used offers a shop function so I've enable it.  I've set it to £0 mark up  so i aren't making anything from it.

     

    Disclaimer is as far as i remember some of the tolerances are a touch tight so if you use this you'll need to potentially file faces of the location lugs (square bits) you may also need to file/drill the screw holes just to very slightly open them. Also i only ordered it in the Steel Natural Unpolished, not sure if the other options again change the dimensions or if they just use a different printing medium.  They do offer other materials like aluminium but the cost is alot higher (£46 for a natural aluminium, £75 for a titanium 😲)

     

    intended use is to have the elongated hole at the top and rotate the motor on the bottom screw, tighten in line with normal RC pinion/spare setup/spacing processes.

     

    material needs to be metal as plastic will deform from the heat of the motor.

     

    At some point I will check some old HDD's and publish the cad to a normal sharing site do people can do what they want with it.

     

     

    my apologies again for my slackness

     

    Enjoy

     

    Mark.

    Started to clean up the Landfreeder after having a great bash on the beach while on holiday.

     

    Everything help up fine, barring at one stage the esc went out of config with the controller. Re-set and all is fine.

    Also randomly lost 1 screw from the front body post.

    EDIT:
     
    I called CML yesterday and found that there was a misprint in the manual. The part is actually FTX6513, if any of you want to know.
     
    bieomax, how did you make the hole into that shape?
     
    I took general shape measurements from my original plastic one and just created one in designspark mechanical ( free 3d software ) Then uploaded that file to a online 3d printers who can do metal.

    Ive used a plastic printer at work, but the with this design there isn't enough plastic above the slotted area to handle the heat/forces applied by a motor, which is why it ended up in a metal material.

    Where did you get an adjustable motor mount?
    I've got a design for one too, which i had 3d printed in steel ( plastic for the first run but they warped with heat - a few guys here had one, moved to steel as a steel print was £16 opposed to 30+ for aluminium from the site i used )

    I got the first one done which needed a slight fettle with a needle file but has worked fine so far. Need to check if i adjusted the 3d/cad file and i'll make available.

    Would anyone happen to know if a 12t 550 motor (from brushed stampede) will fit in outlaw? I have a new 12t motor and esc from brushed stampede laying around and was gonna buy a rolling chassis and chuck them in it
    I'd say yes as the standard is a 550 brushed can. Its only the sensored brushless 550/3660's which are a touch tight as they start getting abit close to the steering.

    Off the top of my head i think its about 65mm clearance between gearbox and the steering assembly.

    What did the postie bring you today?

    Just make sure you fit the central shaft the right way up as if it is fitted the wrong way it won’t tighten up properly on the bottom end. Way to tell is if there is a lot of slop in which case simply fit the shaft the other way up.

    Thanks John, i'll hopefully check it out tonight

    Started my first decal session.

    Building loved it, stickering not so

    Still awaiting on the gpm steering, but good enough to chase the kids around the living room with at the moment.

    But after stickering it'll get a clear matt finish and a smoke to the windows i think.



    Although i am wondering on a interior/ driver? 87408ae20d34258ca04d73cb6b43e1c0.jpg
