Hello,
I present you my crazy project!!!
First, the story:
In 2004 or 2005 I saw Bob Claes in Kampenhout for a training with his Durango. After that I was a Durango fanatic!!!
So I tried to contact Gerd Strenge to buy one, but I never received answer.
Here the Bob's Durango:
Hara's car without shell:
All parts are machined in aluminum or carbon
In 2008 I had the opportunity to have a Durango in my hands for few weeks. So I decided to draw a copy. For that I learned by myself the bases of Solidworks and I drew that:
After I modified the chassis to convert in 2007 version:
To finalize to project, it was possible with the Aeroracing Company. They made the specifics parts like the center driveshafts from the A-one.
So I ordered parts, I payed, but I never received the parts!! Thanks Aeroracing alias Bob Claes
In 2010 I bought a DEX410, I was happy, but it was not like an original Durango.
So I decided to adapt the transmission in my "project".
I modified about 50% of my drawings to install the DEX410 transmission, to use metric bearings and to use 25mm lipo.
And finally it's compatible!
Here 3d print to look if all is ok:
All others parts will come from DEX410!
After that I converted a traditional milling machine to CNC, I made the controller and I learned softwares to use it:
After some tests I can made the first aluminum parts!!!
Now I just need time to finish the project.
Milling take a lot of time and with the family it's not so easy...
Edit:
I tried to install all DEX410 parts, and it's ok!
