DEX410 version Durango 2007

[maxoo]

Hello,

I present you my crazy project!!!

First, the story:

In 2004 or 2005 I saw Bob Claes in Kampenhout for a training with his Durango. After that I was a Durango fanatic!!!
So I tried to contact Gerd Strenge to buy one, but I never received answer.

Here the Bob's Durango:



Hara's car without shell:
All parts are machined in aluminum or carbon



In 2008 I had the opportunity to have a Durango in my hands for few weeks. So I decided to draw a copy. For that I learned by myself the bases of Solidworks and I drew that:



After I modified the chassis to convert in 2007 version:





To finalize to project, it was possible with the Aeroracing Company. They made the specifics parts like the center driveshafts from the A-one.
So I ordered parts, I payed, but I never received the parts!! Thanks Aeroracing alias Bob Claes

In 2010 I bought a DEX410, I was happy, but it was not like an original Durango.
So I decided to adapt the transmission in my "project".
I modified about 50% of my drawings to install the DEX410 transmission, to use metric bearings and to use 25mm lipo.
And finally it's compatible!



Here 3d print to look if all is ok:









All others parts will come from DEX410!

After that I converted a traditional milling machine to CNC, I made the controller and I learned softwares to use it:



After some tests I can made the first aluminum parts!!!



Now I just need time to finish the project.
Milling take a lot of time and with the family it's not so easy...

Edit:

I tried to install all DEX410 parts, and it's ok!
