Description
The idea is to create a remotely controlled rock crawler, based on an 8x8 chassis for shits & giggles
Planned Featureset
- 8x8 drivetrain
- 3 steerable axles
- remotely lockable differentials
- remotely switchable hi-lo gearbox
- double-wishbone individual suspension
- pan/tilt FPV camera
Drivetrain
The following drivetrain will be configured:
Motor
TBD; This will need to be a motor with a high amount of windings so that it will generate a lot of torque with a low RPM. This likely limits the choice to brushed motors.
Gearbox
Since I want to be able to have multiple gears, some gearbox needs to be built. For this, the following layout has been designed
How this works: The motor will drive the motor gear. This gear drives the first reduction gear, and the axle of this reduction gear drives the gearbox. Using a servo, both LO and HI gearing can be chosen.
