my home made car!!!
i have started making my xxx4 in to 3x3 cell car, it is made out of thin alliminuim at the moment for a prototype but if works i will hopefully have access to the cnc machine at my school to mill it out properly with carbon fibre so it is a perfect fit, lol. only the rear is fixed at the moment and i have only cut 4 cell slots out because its really boring doing them all in one go. it will be 4 cells each side so i can adjust the weight distibution. i am also planning on making a chassis the same as this but a different cell layout with 2 cells the side of the motor and 4 the other side like the slim 4 (if i am aloud?) i have got to make the top deck yet what will hopefully be carbon fibre on the finished product. Any ideas?? i also need a name for it and my last name is pretty boring so cant use that!!!

i might cut 4 slots each side so i can test and layout but i might make a new chassis and turn the cells 90 degrees.

No ideas, sorry.
Keep the pics coming though, some people do this sort of thing and think they are some sort of hot-shot, pretending it's all a big secret.

I always got on good with my XXX4, I rekon you've gotta be Trickey or Ellis Stafford types to really say the XX4 is that much better.
I'll go back to XXX4 for this winter, I think it's a cool car. Last two years I've been F2 from nationals, but, after running the XX4 all this year I'm now back at F3, whats that tell me?

But... you didn't do enough regionals to GET a grade... so its not like you're actually worse or anything..!

No problem Ryan, to be honest if looking at what i have done with the Slim4 gets more people to modify cars and try new things thats great, as we all win by moving car design forwards.

i like the idea so far, very interesting! i think you will have to turn the motor mount around though, or you will have to run the motor backwards.

i put the motor around that way so it didnt intefere with the servo i had to move the servo about 7mm to the right so the motor would move forward. so it would be quite hard to put the servo on the left. Would it effect the motor running it backwards, would it still be able to reach top speed?

you would loose around 5,000 rpm and also make it almost impossible to run brushless motors in it. try VERY hard to get the motor to function in its normal way. why can't you just swap the motor for servo? |

How does that work
If you flip the endbell 180 degrees the motor has the same characteristics but spins the other way... what am I missing :study: |

you not missing anything, but in practise Ellis found that he did loose a few 1,000 rpm. strange but true? actually, you should not flip it 180 degrees, if you had (for example) 5 degree timing, you would rotate it 170 degrees in the direction of the timing |
