Re: Euclid R18

Re: Euclid R18

Thanks RW. The problem I was having seems to have been fixed by removing the power wire from the second esc.

Re: Euclid R18

Thanks Ken, I'm not sure if I love this truck or hate it? I know I built Jackfish first but this truck pretty much started a giant snowball effect of shop machinery and RC equipment in our...

Re: Euclid R18

I put together a little video showing all the build photos from this one. Since building this truck my selection of tooling has improved quite a bit. Looking at the pictures makes me appreciate that...

Re: Euclid R18

The bench is from Costco(I forget the make but can look). They had them after xmas but sold out really fast. When I seen that they had them again I had to get one before they were...

Re: Euclid R18

I ended up removing the red wire on the Arrow esc and that seemed to help. I'm not entirely sure that it fixed the problem but it seemed like it might have.

Had some decals made for this too, so...

Re: Euclid R18

I've been tinkering with this on and off and today I was finally able to finish up under the hood. I used an old forward only esc to drive the fan motor but it is causing problems with my main drive...

Re: Euclid R18

Thanks guys, it really means a lot to hear the compliments.
I cheated a little by using wood for the blower and exhaust manifold but it was A LOT easier to do it that way than out of aluminum. I...

Re: Euclid R18

Haha, Good times... When I was little my friends and I used to crawl up on the box and drop firecrackers down the exhaust stack of our R18. Years later when we got the truck running again some of the...

Re: Euclid R18

Thanks guys,

Re: Euclid R18

I decided that while I had the truck torn apart I should fix some things that have bothered me since I built it. The front axle was a little too wide and looked stupid so I narrowed it and made some...

Re: Euclid R18

I forgot to take pictures of the inside:o but, the center section is just held in place by the axles. Each axle has a spacer with a set screw and shim washers. This keeps the axles from moving in or...

I have a couple of HPI diff set-ups that I bought for something else so I stole one of those. I made the axles today and started on the pinion carrier. I have to make new springs and...

Re: Euclid R18

So I had a little incident the last time out with the Euc and Volvo. I swapped out the 540 motor for a slower more powerful 550 in the Euc which I was very happy with. The speed was more realistic...
