Niiiiiceee. Coming along fantastic. Pretty sure some craftwerks rails would look titties though

Ok it has been proven that the 85cc is not intended for an RC? but this will happen.

Alloy rear shock upright supports installed

Tried to fit the engine on the rc modified rear chassis

It was hitting the tank and rear support

Messaged Alex at ALX and he told me to use his chassis because it moves the rear back 5mm for clearance or i would have to mod the front chassis to make it work. Sooo on to the alx chassis it was?

Also the rear bonehead plate I had didn't fit either. Lucky for me I had the correct bonehead kit from my 71cc buy??

Even after moving the engine back 5mm it was still hitting the rear front chassis support. Time to breakout the dremmel

Engine now fitted with most screws started.

Clutch is huge as fek!?

Rear swaybar and modified rc rear bumper fitted
Side supports 5mm too short from the bonehead set I bought. Once again luckily I have the correct parts from my 71cc engine buy.

RCR Brakes and gear plate on

Gears on

Clutch is big as hell?

Steering servo to bellcrank turnbuckle is not playing nice with the hitec 845? I will have to come up with something for this one or back to Savox or Hilantronic.

 

[DougStar]

quite a few little tweaks to get it all to fit ? but overall its a feking beast guy?

 

[Haric]

looking good lance!!

 

[Seandonato73]

@Haric needs to make negative offset servo horn for this application ?

 

[blackrain]

Man she's looking beastly like a high end Rc sports car. Dope

@Haric needs to make negative offset servo horn for this application ?

How bout that @Haric ? Something you think you could do?

 

[John Parks]

That servo horn isnt helping either. It is very thick, I have ran these on almost all my bajas never an issue. Something is off

I don’t know how to cut the internal gears if I did make them
@crucialRC but looking at your pic, you can modify that servo horn to make it work. You will need to cut that piece off the servo horn and attach a negative piece, or mill it to make it thinner, or get a thinner servo horn

 

[cbaker65]

The horn itself needs to be over the gear part an not offset ,set screw in horn!

Awesome work Crucial!....

 

[Haric]

Get a thinner servo horn
Or what if you flip the servo horn? ??‍

I agree Curtis but I haven't found anything like that for sale. Thanks too??

All good Haric. I'm gonna try the thinner horn like you suggest. I have a few on deck. I'm gonna try this one. It should at least help.

 

[Haric]

Drill it right there so it fits over the gear.

 

[cbaker65]

To bad that servo couldnt be pushed back a little ,maybe a different batt & rec box can be redesigned were you can
seperate the two an not be attach to each other!

 

[Z.hb71]

Gawd damn that's a big fecking engine ??? looks good! ?

 

[crucialRC]

?What you mean?

 

[Jshaff16]

Think he means drill out the flat surface of your servo horn so you can flip it 180 and mount on servo. The original teeth should still bite the far on servo

That's how I interpret it

 

[Haric]

Yep @Jshaff16 ??
@crucialRC Then use lock washer and screw to mount it
