Hi all,

A friend of mine and me are able to produce steel parts. the thing is that we can only build parts with one layer. So the mainwheel gear #1 (35 teeth) is not producable for us.

BUT .. we are able to build the other gear wheels and we are looking after other parts.

IF the gear thing will work , you should be able to take a .21 engine without any problems . the only thing is that you have to buy the main gear wheel #1 more often || all ratios are possible !!!!!!!!

the other advantage is , we can produce it very cheap .

the problem we have is :

we want to build those parts for our 2 volcanos , so the costs would be to high just for 2 cars.
BUT if more ppl are interested in those parts (part list of parts possible to build will be listed) it will be worth to produce.

We dont want to make big profit . We just try to get cheap parts for our selfs (and friends) .

So if you are interested , PLZ post !!!!

if it works , we will expand on other cars. So this is interesting for everybody , who needs parts with one layer !

best regards,
david walisko

Wow, that is awesome news.

If you could get the 47 tooth gear and the 39 tooth one made out of steel that'd be amazing. Those are the gears that are on the 2-speed transmission i think.
Also if you could figure out a way to reproduce the clutch bell but with better teeth i think all our problems would be solved.

Quantity wise how many would you have to make for it to become cheap? 20? 50? 100? 1000?
Thanks man

Count me in!!!

davizzle

ah u missunderstood me

we can produce just in ONE layer . a clutchbell would be a 3D cad drawing . Not producable

i checked the car and i can surely say , that we can produce front AND rear arms , also. and front and rear bumpers (simple version) and upper skit plate

You wanna sell those gear sets ?

AH i need pictures of parts u would like to get.

SO TO EVERYONE ! PLS POST PICS OF PARTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET PRODUCED !!!

crzymechanic

metal gears! my prayers are answered! i bought the tornado xp for the wife and while just initial start up/ break in, i found the factory idle set was way too high and by the time i could catch it- too late- 1st gear was gone! so count me in as well, as long as you mak a 47 tooth.

IntuitionX

Is the problem CAD? Because a 3d render of the bell in CAD is not a big deal, I can wipe it together in a half hour.

davizzle

lol i can do it in cad also in a few mins, but the machine that would produce the part would make big big costs

its not that we dont want to build it , its just to expensive.

one layer parts are not to expensive.

I am also interested in 47 42 44 39 spur gears. These just grind every time i drive on gravel and floor it . These are 2040 , 2041 , 6032 and 6033 part #

Popper252

If you build it we will buy it! Any updates? I'm pretty eager about getting my hands on some of those metal gears.

bluecaka69

what is the use of having metal gears if you clutch bell is cheap alloy the metal gears will eat clutch bell unless you can find a better clutch bell that is almost exactly the same just my thoughts

davizzle

lol ? get a clutch bell from HPI dude.

sorry , no updates atm . we are working on it

Popper252

Hey davizzle do you know which hpi clutch bell works with the two speed?
Thanks.

fun hawg

FROM THE HAWG

I HAVE ALREADY FOUND THE CLUTCH SET UP THAT WORKS LOOK AT MORE STRIPED GEARS IN THIS FOURM IT IS A DURA TRAX SET UP FOR THE TWO SPEED BUGGY IT WORKS GREAT STEEL BELL AND GEARS . EVEN WITH THE PLASTIC SPUR GEARS YOU CAN RUN OVER A GALLON OF FUEL BEFORE REPLACING THEM . THE STOCK BELL IS CAST ALUMINUM AND IS REALLY SOFT IT SUCKS.

Stormy_H

Count me in for 5 of each.

davizzle

wow this is going faster than our planning

we have little trouble and just need some time. I am thinking all the day about what we can produce and how we can get the beste solution for all of us.

I AM WORKING ON IT ! !!!

theres still one point u dont know. If we will start producing those parts. They wont look COOL or something like this. It will be standard hard steel or Alu (like you want )

The Advantage we want to bring you is absolut stability !!! not a showcar.

on thing more. Are ppl here interested in selling parts ? If so, we will have to talk to those private . Some questions that are open before we can start producing.

Next week i will be able to say you which parts are produceable for us.

still working on it for you.

My Feedback: (1)

I would like to talk about prices and maybe selling the parts. Let me know how they go. I am a dealer for redcat and himoto.

Popper252

Hey as long as they hold together, I don't think many of us care about how our gears look.
Thanks for the hard work guys. Keep it up

davizzle

ah popper missunderstanding.

We are maybe able to build other parts to, like the front and rear arms or the towers in the ..

Popper252

Hey buddy, just wondering if you could give us a time frame as to when these might be available for purchase. Also exactly what parts are you going to produce first?
Thanks

davizzle

sorry sorry . i am very busy at the moment fpr college !

we are thinking about building gear wheels #2 #3 and #4 , also different ratios ( 2 most wanted ratios ).

and the front and rear arms seem to be producable for us 2 .

upper plate is also easy to produce (if you need it ).

TRAMILTON

Hello, Davizzle
I am a redcat reseller and i am willing buy the gears from you. I would be interested in all the factory ratios for all the models, if that would be posible. Drop me a price and ill get the funds up and let you know how many we can get. Theres a lot of redcats in southeast, ga( Thanks to me) let me know Thanks Tom

davizzle

gears will be inspected at the moment. We are really working on it , but we have very little time because of college.

we are trying to rebuild the main gear wheel #1 also , so that you can get a complete metal gear wheel set.

we think this would make the whole gear set unbreakable

Popper252

Pfft... college. Who needs it? Drop out. That's my professional opinion.

nicacus

if you produce enough of these you wont need college...

davizzle

hehe lol would be great


i need to know quantities , so prices will follow THIS week

50 ? 100 ? more ?


Just need to know how many we will produce to get prices for those quantities

50 is minimum , and little bit expensive

as you will understand , we wont produce parts , if we dont know how many and if we can sell those.

We will first produce standard ratio for the volcano, eldorada and how ever the 1/10 scale truck is called. (35 , 25 , 17 , 27 teeth )

if business is running , we can start producing gear sets for the other cars !

we can also send you samples no doubt , but those parts would cost us very very much
