Thirty five thousand viewers, WOW. I never could have imagined that. And I have found a way to get something happening that I always thought I could never afford. Elephant Racing's front suspension is for sale on the Bird board for $3,750 and I have 2 tax returns coming at me. With that and shocks from Marvin Shaw I can take the iron springs out of the car by replacing them with nitrogen gas. That's the best replacement pound for pound on the car. The wind screens for the windshield was a really good ratio but the 4 springs for all of the weight of the nothing that the nitrogen gas weighs has got that beaten by a mile.
I don't have a link, that's not really true as I don't have the ability to post a link. I bought some shocks from Marvin in '88 and they are still working today. |

I'm just sitting here waiting for the delivery of the new suspension parts. I talked to Marvin Shaw shocks ( Marvin has passed but his shop is still working) and they can make up inserts for the shock housing and that is just what I need. I have seen this type of set up on a 914 before but I don't remember where and that car had coil over shocks. I'm just hoping to be able to eliminate the coil spring. I'll post a picture as soon as the parts arrive.

Thanks Shivers. The wings, yes. It definitely looks like it's going fast standing still.

Back from Daytona and all the wires have their heat shrinking done. In the picture I have the wires placed next to the connectors from the motors. Looking for the placement of the bus bar and the ESC. All those wires have to exit the end of the box somehow and the ESC has a switch on it that needs to turned on and off. And I thought this would be simple shit.
Somehow I have to isolate the ESC from car electrical system. It can't take voltage over 12 volts. |

So I built this nice reply and lost it.
So I'll try again. I'm going to use the cars 12 volts system to change the RC battery. A relay will turn on the RC ESC powering it up from the RC battery. That will give power to the potentiometer on the dash, which sends a signal to the ESC's and that runs the motors. Ain't no simple shit here... |

This is the power distribution wires. With a motor plugged in. The wires are color coded because I need to have all the motors going the same direction.
I ran out of bullets ( the brass connectors), they are on order. OK you guys, that was one big ass Elephant Bite. I have been thinking about this one for weeks. Nice to see the final product looking so clean. I can see some Cazadores in the near future. Gosh I feel good... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
