Description

V1M: (UTB18) Mini Comp ChassisFits: Axial 1 18th Scale UTB18 Crawler Buggy Battery: You can use the stock battery on the rear links but it is kid of tight and bulky. To optimize your performance, we recommend the Helios 600MAH 2C Lipo (https: heliosrc. com 2s 600 mah 45c lipo ) mounted either on a front axle battery mount or rear upper link plate. The Helios battery will need to have the lead swapped to an IC2 Connector or change the connector on the stock upgraded ESC.

The V1M (UTB19) Comp Chassis has been reenginered to directly bolt the driveline and components from an AXIAL UTB18 on to this Narrow chassis to allow for a more optimal proformance orented chassis for the WRCCA Mini Class Comp Crawler.

Chassis Features: The chassis and cab have been cut from 2mm Carbo Fiber sheets with a nice matt finsh. Simlia to the old Losi MRC, we have kept the base of the chassis very narrow to allow you to navigate the tight terain without bottoming out on a wide chassis. Upper link adjustment offer a range of antisquat and anti dive adjustments with 100% being your middle range allowing yout to tune your rig to match your driveing style. (These values were calculated with 1.9 Rover Tires, Front Brass Knuckles Weight Covers and rear brass Portal Covers with the stock battery mounted on top of the rear upper links and ESC Mounted to the roof of the cab.)

The basic setup will help you take the UTB18 make the most of the stock setup. All COG and weight distribution has been calculated with the stock eletronics and battery. Changing to smaller and lighter components and battery will increase your proformance. Some Adjustments may be needed.

Shocks: If using the stock Capra Shocks, the recomended setup is: Front half droop with rubber bump stop replaced with an O-Ring. Rear full droop with the rubber stps replace with an O-Ring and a pen spring under the piston inside the shock.

Rear Lower Links: Remove your rear lower links and tape them together evenly, Measure a spot about 1 inch from the base of the rod end and give them a slight bend in a vice to make them high clearance links. Alternativly, you could replace your lower links with small diameter brass links from D-Links.

Body Side Pannels: You will recieve one set of 3D printed side panels. It is recomended that you use these as a template to trace and cut pannels out of .03 lexan or even a used pop bottle to help customize your build.

The Hood Roof and Tail Plate: These parts are a solid 3D printed piece. You can substitute the prints for Aluminum Spacers and Lexan panels if you like. We opted to print these components to save you money on your conversion. Aluminum Spacers can usually be found in e-bay or Amazon for around $2-3 each for low quantities.

Aluminum Cross Brace Note: The kit includes four braces, If using a 380 size motor, you will only use three braces as the motor will interfere with the brace next to the hood. With a 380 motor, use the supplied 2.5m Nylock's in place of the Brace. If you are using a compact revolver type motor, you can use all 4 braces.

Reccomended setup: Use an after market motor and compact ESC like the Furitek system. This will allow you to reduce the ESC size and mount it on the fron Upper link plate that is included. You should also use a smaller battery mounted on the rear upper link plate. This will keep your COG low and better distribut the weight on the rig.

3D Printed Parts: You can select your desired color or save a few dollors by selecting the self print option. (Print files are free with every purchas reguardless of choice).

You Will Need: One small velcro strap to secure the battery to the rear upper link Battery Tray or heavy duty velcro.

Due to the nature of 3D printing, items may contain tiny visual blemishes. Items may require some trimming and painting for optimal visual appeal/fit; similar to what you would expect to do with model parts.


 

IMPORTANT: Do not use power drivers on 3D printed parts. Over tightening printed parts and cause premature cracking and crushing. Always ensure you hardware will not bottom out in the screw pocket. This can also cause at 3D printed part to break prematurely.

 

Printed Parts - These parts will be printed in Black (Unless otherwise requested) using advances slicing methods for maximum strength. All 3D printed parts come with a lifetime replacement guarantee. If you break a part, simply send us a photo and your order number. The photo is simply to evaluate for common issues and help identify potential improvements to existing designs.

Strong legs, somewhat industrial but trendy also
Size: side table leg
Good legs, some what utilitarian or industrial, they are strong as they are made out of pipe, and assembly is fairly easy once you get the idea of how it goes together. They are roughly 1.5 feet across maybe a bit less adjustable height on each leg, if you have wood floors you may want to put a pad under each leg as they are full metal pipes. Pretty interesting idea and does not cost much.

Pretty good, take your time and install it well
Size: side table leg
Materials are pretty solid, but once assembled it’s not as sturdy as you would think it should be since the material itself was solid, i say give them a chance, everything out there that’s similar is way over priced

Robust pipe & fittings with a beautiful, smooth black finish
Size: side table leg
This set of pipe & fittings for use as low table legs is heavy duty and aesthetically pleasing. Especially when the pieces are handled, the tactile sensation is much nicer than with plumbing steel pipe because this product is beautifully finished smooth. The black pipes are quite smooth as well as the fittings. The pieces are all also pretty robust, though the wall thicknesses are less than in pipe for pressurized water systems. Of course that makes sense as this product does not need to hold fluid pressure. In my view they got the heaviness factor of this product just right; it's not as heavy or robust as black pipe used in natural gas supplies, but still robust and pretty heavy. Assembled, this product is absolutely stiff and unyielding for a solid table that could hold a man's weight easily. The feet utilize a brilliant scheme so that each foot can be independently adjusted for an uneven floor. Thus a level table on an uneven floor is easily accomplished. The feet simply extend the effective leg length by screwing counter-clockwise. To prevent any shifting at the threads adding some pipe compound or teflon tape may be advised. Even masking or duct tape might work as the idea is to just fill any gaps where male threads meet female threads. The four flanges at the tops of the legs provide a wide, solid surface for attaching the table top, with either hidden screws underneath or you could through-bolt a glass table top (provided you have the skill to drill glass!). I think this product would look great with a glass top. Assembly is quick and easy. The hardest part is drilling holes underneath the table top to accept screws. No pipe wrenches are needed as the pieces screw together by hand to an adequate tightness. If any doubt whether they are tightened enough have a strong person with grippy gloves finish. The "X" in the center attaches to the legs with a very clever machine screw system tightened with the included hex wrench. This is presumably because if tightened simply by screwing the fittings, the point of snugness would not likely be where the "T" fittings are exactly vertical. The maker has solved this problem so that you are assured that all legs will be in the perfect vertical position once everything is tight. The setup is also nice and rigid once tightened. This is a huge benefit of steel pipe projects; they are really solid. The black finish is clearly very durable, like a powder coat. It appears that it will provide excellent protection against rust. Coverage is complete; I found no dings or scratches anywhere on any piece. Overall this is a very well-designed product for function and aesthetics. Perfect for a beautifully renovated warehouse condo where an industrial vibe is desired in a rock-solid table that won't shift around. The smoothness of the pipe is top notch. I've used lots of pipe in projects, some of it actual water pipe and some decorative pipe such as this. I've never seen better quality decorative pipe as this maker put in the effort to finish it beautifully smooth. At currently $34.99 I find the price quite reasonable too.
