Spare tire mount?

[Silent_chaos]

Crazy as it sounds this would help with the ep pro continuously wanting to nose down on jumps

Thicker rear shock oil.

release throttle in air, and press it just before hitting the ground

I haven't been able to figure out how to make the outer threads for the carrier. I just need to search on Solidworks.

I have 50wt all around. You think I should go higher in back? I already have good throttle control

I will be starting more projects with my newly acquired 3D printer. This will be a good one to start with.

So how is this little project coming? I for one am very interested in purchasing one.

I never figured out how to add the M18 thread in Solidworks.

What if you designed it so a stock hub was the mount? May be a solution... Might not... I don't know. Lol

That would push the cost too much. It would be cheaper to just make it out of aluminum and be done. DGI already has them in aluminum for the Losi. I just need to make a crossmember mount.

So even with that you will need to change the thread still would you not? are you will just leave the thread the way it is the you will have to use a losi nut just for the spare tire because they are not the same as the HPI nut.

I would just buy the tire mount from DGI with the Losi Thread.

Oh ok got it.

Will it work for us guys with jetpro pipes?

 

[RampageHopUps]

I have no idea. Is the pipe that far up the cage?

Pretty sweet sticker, I know! Lol.

Great sticker. Can you put a straightedge over the cage and see how much room I need to clear it?

Sorry about not having a proper straightedge. The pipe doesn't run flush with the cage until right around 5 inches from the upper bend in the cage.

Once the pipe breaks the plane of the cage it only extends around 3/4 of a centimeter past. The rear mount bolt sits right around 3 centimeters above the rear crossmember.

Just a different angle.

That is what I needed. Looks like about 1/2" of clearance is needed?

 

[Doaner]

1/2 inch would be plenty. Really anything above 1 centimeter off the cage would work clearance wise. Although, I'm guessing 1/2 inch would be the way to go considering how hot the exhaust gets.

How's the project coming?
