Long shot looking for big rims for a mini t!!

[jtheg]

I bet it gets warm!! But the right size pinion should sort that or a fan!

How did you fix the wheels together and align them straight???

[bandyleg]

I havnt fixed the wheels yet! they stay in place as they are but if you bounce flip or roll they push sideways, The reason i havnt fixed them is as you questioned..... Getting them straight.

Im just looking into other ideas to mount them and also a errrrrr 540 Brushless if i can make the motor plate and space to fit

[jtheg]

Bloody hell a 540 at the back and it will wheelie without moving!!!

They weigh a ton compare to whats in there now

[bandyleg]

Ha ha ha yes thats very true i may have to extend the chassis a bit but hey what are toys for?
Im off work for a few days now so going to work on a new motor mount for it and maybe a way of fitting a larger spur gear maybe something like a 78 help the gearing a little lol its a all fun and games

[jtheg]

Dont forget voideos and pictures

[bandyleg]

Haha yeh i should also maybe change the title of this thread too! Its a bit of a working progress so it will take me a short while but it will be done lol

[bandyleg]

well its in!
I am just waiting on the arrival of a couple of new spur gears as this as the standard 60 is just way too small so no vids just yet. I am also still struggling with my wheel fitment as the previous option just wont do!!

[jtheg]

Man that motor looks huge in there

[bandyleg]

Ha ha u should see the cells!! im gonna have to re jig everything around to get a full 6 pack in lol plus the huge speedo and receiver lol

[bandyleg]

Ok so the batterys are in, I have re built the pack so it sits quite well over the front helping to keep it down. I have also managed to squeeeeeeze the speedo and receiver into it! Dont mind the wiring im waiting on some new connectors to arrive before i tidy them up they are too short and stubborn to be soildering lol The wheels have been glued and just pressed onto a flat surface to hold them in place whilst the adhesive set nothing more technical then that. Like i say the wheels are only a temp until i can find or make a better fit.

[jtheg]

Bonkers! absolute bonkers, get a vid up man that is gonna be awesome

[bandyleg]

Haha I'm not sure about bids just yet as I havnt had chance to run it due to the small lack of parts. I'm gonna be very impressed if it doesn't self destruct lol but as soon as it's ready I'll get you a vid I promise (as long as it doesn't explode)

[jtheg]

Oh the wait! What parts you missing?

[jtheg]

Ive been looking at them forums but some of the wheels i cant find but i did find the adapters! i am now just waiting for spur gears to arrive but its not looking good as the posty didnt drop them off today!

[jtheg]

I couldnt find the wheels anywhere either. They got to be out there somewhere!

[bandyleg]

im having a look at some wheels tomorrow off a nitro truck on a 12mm hex so fingers crossed its

[bandyleg]

Bits arrived the other day and i managed to find time to put it together!! and take it for a quick test run.
Had one or two teething problems but after a couple of steady runs i shot the video, the slipper is very loose as i didnt want to destroy the gearbox just yet

Time to open the taps and get some power through

The beach!! wow your brave all that salt and sand i will get a decent video in a few weeks im gonna be busy for a while now but as soon as i get the bar made and a couple more tweeks i will put some pace on it!
