Real Men[tm] build sidewinders !
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 1:03 pm
None of these poofy anglewinders or old hat inlines trying to imitate automotive design, when a man has to do what a man has to do, a REAL[tm] sidewinder is what you need.
Triple 14 guage rail design, custom built rear end with precision brass bearings and a K&S piano wire rear axle make for an awesome combination outgunned only by the sheer grunt of a 1/8th shaft 5 pole motor bought from Jaycar in Sydney.
With considerable technical assistance from EXTREME HOBBIES in Bourke Street Rosebery (about 2k south of the Sydney CBD) I obtained a genuine 1/8 shaft set screw piniion of 25 teeth and a rear axle gear of somewhere over 50 teeth (my eyesight is not good enough to count the teeth) and after machining a flange to mount the gear on the rear axle, it is now up and going as a boots teeth and all TIRE GRINDER.
