Interesting idea. I'm not sure it will work for me since my bearing boss is bolt-on instead of weld-on, but it seems my 3-bolt arrangement would let me rotate...
Used one of Riley's suggestions to foam in can for eyebrow construction, SAVE YOUR MONEY! The two-part foam will work better if you have already bought some....
Is it possible to see what was done on the prototype? There are some pics of that area of the car. Worst case, call in to Mr.Riley and ask him how it is done. ...
If If rotate the bearing boss around so the caliper will sit more towards the back/lower side It will alow the cable to miss anything. I can not see any...
You're not missing anything. I discovered the same problem awhile back. Started working on a bellcrank-type arrangement to get around it, but didn't quite...
I am working on the rear axle tube getting all the parts put together for welding. But if the bearing boss is attatched as per the plans there is not going to...
I used the 12mm bolts for the upper control arms. If you click on the new messages when first entering the website you can get access to the "advanced search"...
I used 1/2" grade 8 bolts. Drilling the brackets for this hole was easy. 3 of the bushing holes were kinda tight, 1 bushing hole was too small. I clamped them...
I just kept drilling down, then would periodically check for fit. In the end, I had to redrill a piece, cuz I went too deep. In fact, both of mine may be 1/16"...
A 1/2 diameter small end x 2 1/4" long tapered end mill did both jobs. Don't know the numbers on the tie rod end. I just know the endmill I got did both. I...
Thanks for the replies Vrod. What tool did you end up using? I figured the tie rod end was usualy smaller and the same tool would have been too big. That will...
To help align all the brackets, I used a long 1/2" rod. I used magnetic welding angles to place the end brackets. Once these were welded in place, it was easy...
I used the same 3-degree taper tool, and mine fits perfectly. In fact, once you tighten it down a bit, it is VERY tough to remove. I suggest not to tighten...
According to the manual, the 3-degree angle on the UCA is the anti-dive angle. It is explained in the "suspension geometry" section (page 30 in the manual...
Dose anyone know why the upper arms are at a angle? it seems there is room for it to be straight but I could be wrong. It may have to do with toe change within...
Ok, so the upper ball joint is a 3 degree taper. What is the size for the tie rod ends? I can not find the answer here or by any other searches. Next question....
Bob, using the stock RA package, a Warp 9 will not fit. It doesn't take much modifications to make it fit, however a CAD program would be very helpful. I...
It appears from the spec sheets that the warp 9 is 1 1/2" longer than the warp 8 which does fit in the stock tail frame of the XR3. Both have the 1 1/8"...
The WarP9 motor is 15.93" long 9.25" Diam with a 1.125" Diam drive shaft. Costing $1750 with more torque through out the rpm range and the brush timing can be...
It appears from the spec sheets that the warp 9 is 1 1/2" longer than the warp 8 which does fit in the stock tail frame of the XR3. Both have the 1 1/8"...
I believe that the warp 9 will fit in the stock tail frame of the XR3 (do you agree?) but it will have a 1 1/8" diameter shaft instead of the 1 1/4" but this...
I contacted Netgain about getting a WarP 9 with an extended shaft and here is the reply E-mail I got. Joseph, I believe we talked this morning..... We can...
Update: I am making the tunnel parts, have 80% done, will be assembling this weekend I hope. I have parts for the rear end, and am trying to obtain the...
Hi Art and All, Most all EV motors are custom as few stock any motors anymore. You just order what you want and about 3 weeks later, it shows up on your door. ...
