Can you do a video on 1/10 crawler track width? There’s already plenty of videos on wheel base, track width, not so much. How do you discover the ideal track width to wheel base in the 10th scale world? Or do you have any related videos You may have produced already? Edit: also, can you do a video on chassis flex? Not articulation, but the actual flexing of the chassis if there is not enough bracing to firm up the chassis and is it a good or bad thing/pros cons of having a flexible chassis and or firm chassis and how that relates to the shocks and ultimately what may help performance best that be a cool video

When breaking over, the front wheels are pulling the vehicle straight forward while the rear wheels are still moving upward at an angle - a longer path. Doesn’t this create sort of an overdrive without overdrive? Outside of RC cars, another example of the same thing is when you’re carrying a long item with a buddy up or down some stairs: when you’re the tail guy and the other guy starts descending stairs, you have to slow down. At the bottom, the front guy must take it easy for a few steps to avoid pulling the other person down the stairs.

Im new to crawling but not into the comp side as thats not really a thing in my area. I have played around with the shocks on my rig and i changed the springs on all four shocks. I put the losi orange on the rear and the red on the front as well as removing the front limit springs. I have noticed a huge difference with just springs. Im also running 30wt oil and it works pretty well.

So if we redesign the motor placement to sideways, would the reactive forces act on the longitudinal axis instead, thus completely eliminating the wheel lifting and the leaning on one side? How about a vertical placement? It would hurt the CG, but it would be fairly easy design and it would fit probably every scale chassis and hard shell. It would be awesome for class 1 rigs to get rid of the torque twist.
@BoomslangSuss4 күн бұрын
You would have to eliminate the shaft drive and bevel gear as well. That means a parallel belt drive. Vertical placement is quite interesting. Haven’t thought about that. You might be on to something.

@@BoomslangSuss so there's no cure after all? I didn't quite understand the video then, I suppose. I thought the only thing that mattered was the orientation of the two ends of the drivetrain. One of which is the motor housing itself. If the motor is placed on the pitch axis (or yaw axis), wouldn't the reactive force on the chassis be a pitch (or yaw) instead?

@BoomslangSuss I watched (almost) all your crawler suspention videos. As a mechanical engineer and after a 20 years long downhill addiction, progression, springrate and damping is not where my deficit lies. Together with my son I started a project to design and 3d print a expedition crawler which is capable of climbing the peaks in the german alps. At the moment our blindspot is the linkage geometry of the suspention. Do you know a website where we can educate ourselves?

A lot of people hate on this claim, but it is correct. When you are crawling slowly, your 4-bar linkage geometry is not super effective in anyway. Things like anti-squat, anti-dive and roll center are dynamic situations. So for the times you are moving fast set your vehicle up for a neutral response on all 3 of these parameters. But more importantly, set you car up for maximum clearance and lowest CG for best crawling performance.

That is one properly crazy line ! Im sure there are plenty 4x4 and crawler drivers that say 'nowhere inaccessible' but his is taking it to a whole different level. Always though RC vehicle expensive servos should have current limiting or at very least a resettable fuse to protect the windings from damage. Many Industrial servos have had built in protection for years. Maybe next year..

I agree. We got rid of mechanical servo “savers” a long time ago. Seems like a fuse solution would be feasible. An aftermarket external in-line fuse would be cool if it were possible.

What about the change in direction? That is the part of the definition of velocity and acceleration you left out. The act of going up hill puts gravity forces similar to that accelerating on a flat surface. That being said I’m just spitballing here. I don’t see how raising the mounting point on the upper links would help. If anything in my mind that adds leverage to the pulling caused by the rotational forces on the axle .

So how do you get high-speed damping IE for bumps like when driving fast over gravel to work to keep the tires on the ground without sacrificing the buggy or truck's ability to soak up jumps?
@BoomslangSuss8 күн бұрын
If you are driving fast over small bumps, the piston is not usually moving far enough to reach high speeds, so you are more in the low speed damping realm even though the vehicle is moving fast. Lower the low speed damping for small bumps and raise the high speed damping for big hits. Also control big hits with higher spring rate and less pre-load to keep the right height the same.

I wish you would explain more of that rear link arrangement you already described in the other video. What it does to geometry when the upper links are that much shorter. I recently tried sth. like that on a SCX24 and not sure if it worked out good. Was an easy way to get more ground clearance to mount the upper links higher where normally the lowers would be but i think with the very different lenght links now it twists my axle, cant describe, tires moving forward/changing wheelbase on the higher side when articulating. Not sure if it matters but if you could describe yours i might learn something, why this works on yours.
@BoomslangSuss10 күн бұрын
I can’t speak to your car without seeing it. When I set up my new links, I kept the anti-squat setting the same, meaning I drew the diagram and compared it to the original setup. If you’ve seen my other videos, you know that AS has no real effect on slow moving crawlers BUT it keeps your pinion angle and axle rotation in check so it’s a good starting point when you’re radically changing your link geometry.
