Been in talks with Tony Mulligan at SRCC about making K Factory style Mounts for the X-6, maybe out of brass. Would there be any demand for these or would I be waisting my time?

Edit...

Update to first post so people don't need to go hunting in the thread...

Right prototypes finished..
These are in mild steel, Finish items will be Stainless steel.

wouldnt the brass be abit soft for this??

No I belive it would be fine on such a small part.

Speaking as a buyer, competition is always good!!

I would not want to add weight that high up and at the very rear.

Moving the weight down and inboard defines The New Math.

[Stalypig]

How about making the mounts in stainless steel like your front and rear bulkheads so that you can offer something different to the brass version being worked on? Definitely gives people choice.

[IceMike]

I would prefer steel

TBH I didn't know there where brass ones being worked on.
Also the cost of machining Stainless is a lot greater than brass. Having said that if that's what people would like, I'd look into making them in Stainless.
Plus the stainless bits although I'm getting great feed back from the people that have had them, They're not exactly flying off the shelf so to speak. All that I've sold are from the Southport club that have actually seen them. Guess people don't like change :).

[Richard_Griffiths]

tell you what would be even nicer.

titainum ones would looke cool and make the car lighter.

Might be a little costly thought

[SHY]

My ultimate product wish for the last years' been titanium torx screws! :thumbsup: (doesen't exist)

[RudeTony]

Hi all - RudeBits have been working on these parts for some 3 months. Yes as far back as then but with so so many new products and the demand that drivers require, it has been difficult to test and put in production. They are now very very close to being available for everyone. They will not be brass - Brass is too heavy for this position on a 2wd buggy and the weight would also be in front of the front axle - not good as many top drivers would agree!!
Alloy, Titanium or even some aircraft stainless or similar is what we are working on but on the same token we make parts to perform and therefore some measurement changes may need to be made for maximum impact of the production of this new product can make. These are currently being tested prior to mass production. I hope this helps with some of the questions. All the best for now and meanwhile check out the website for the latest products of so many cars .....

[Cream]

weight I can't really see being a factor...

2 blocks 10mmx10mmx15mm i.e. way more than these blocks will be. weight the following

mild steel. 23 g
brass 25.5 g
stainless steel 24 g
titanium 13.5 g
lead ;) 34 g
ali. 8g

So any worries about weight are unfounded IMHO.


Remember these are way over what the item would weigh in at.

[Darren Boyle]

Even an extra 20gramm up front and that high WILL make a big differance to a 2wd car's handling.......

[Cream]

Even an extra 20gramm up front and that high WILL make a big differance to a 2wd car's handling.......

Yeah, but it won't be 20g, by the time they are all machined your probably looking at about 1/3rd of the weight, or even less.

[Darren Boyle]

Yeah, but it won't be 20g, by the time they are all machined your probably looking at about 1/3rd of the weight, or even less.

The prototype pair I have seen, weighed in at over 22gm for the pair and the K-Factory ones are less than 7gm, so it is at least 15gm which you DONT want in that place of the car.........

Sorry if this sounds rude. Your wrong!
Drivers that know what weight does and why they use it will NOT place it there whatever the amount is. Also again without being rude, some of your calculations are wrong as well or you have typed wrong lets say.

RudeBits was founded on using the best materials for what was needed and where it was needed, ie the Ellis Stafford weight distribution kit. Ellis spent a ludicrous amount of hours to develop that very kit that now everyone can simply buy to make the X6 an awesome car. RudeBits didn't just wake up one morning and decided lets just put weight here and there and so on. Here at RudeBits we are hard core racers that deal at the very highest level and everything is tested to the max prior to production and this part will be no different. Someone else said that competition in manufacturers is healthy but it also has to be understood that these parts are CRITICAL to how a buggy performs. 1mm out will change a set up and so long as I breathe air, the RudeBits will be accurate to I think Dave said 3 microns - everyone else can decide from there.
That's all folks !! - laters for now

[sly]

weight high up???

Big bore shocks are heavier than normal bore shocks? weight higher up
Ans/question. turn them upside down or use normal bore shock?

Alu gearbox tops on a cat. weight higher up
Ans/question stick with the plastic ones?

Hand out transponders are mounted either in the wing or in the bodyshells window or roof. weight high up


Cream you should make them for the people who would like them i think.:thumbsup:

3 microns :)
Not to be rude but your mad if your tying your bits down to that. Your right in some respect in as far as I don't have a lot of RC experiance. But what I do have is 24 years machining experiance. Anyway, I'll have a think and get back to peep's about what I decide.

[super__dan]

Ans/question. turn them upside down or use normal bore shock?


Changes from sprung to unsprung weight. I've never tried it but suspect small/rapid bump handling wouldn't be good.

[matdodd]

I tryed it on a Losi once, it was intresting :thumbdown:

[YoungChazz]

K Factory discontinued this part for a reason -- I'm guessing too expensive to make vs. total sales. That's why we haven't made them.

No about the same weight, Possibly .5g heavier. Hence why a made the sample out of Mild steel to give a good indication of the final weight. (see estimated weights on page one ;-) )

DMS Carbon towers (DMS135) arrived back into stock on Tuesday morning and all of them were packaged up and ready for despatch yesterday. Most of the back order ones have now been sent out but we still have a few here waiting to go to customers.

However we have had some email issues with all "Hotmail" accounts rejecting our emails since the weekend and have been trying to contact several overseas customers who have pre-ordered these, namely some in France, who we cannot phone and cannot reach by email due to the "Hotmail" issue.

If the following customers can either email us from an email address NOT with Hotmail so we can reply to them or they can simply re-submit a duplicate of their order online that they have already placed (you will only be charged the once) then we can finally get the last few towers out to people from back order to match these lovely machined blocks that have arrived......

The overseas cusomers we need to contact us are;

Christophe Ran and Fabrice Collas

Gents your orders are sat here and waiting for you, we just need to clarify your payment details before we can send them......

[ikey ji]

Yeah!
Christophe Ran, it's me! :woot:
I Pm you right away...
Thx Darren.

One of the reasons they are made from stainless ironically is to keep the price down and the production in house.
If I start having them anodized
1. it adds to the cost as it another process.
2. I have to start relying on other people, which I'm not a great fan of doing.

If I was making 1000's off then thing may change, But as a small production run all cost are kept down as much as I can. Plus I love stainless steel :)

[TonyM]

And having stripped a ball hole on my original K-Factory Aluminium mounts, I really appreciate my Cream Extreme mounts being in Stainless Steel.

I've got to say again how great these mounts are. I've ordered several sets now and they are just fantastic. I just finished building a carbon fiber front shock tower for my SCX-60 and it came out great using these mounts. I'll post a pic later. Kinwald has a set now too and he likes the quality of the parts.
I'll probably be ordering a couple more sets soon as my son's SCX-60 will get a CF tower soon also and I'll be building another test buggy for him.

I'm not m8,
I'm only doing front bulkheads (B4,X6), rear bulkhead(B4) and the mounts(B4,X6) at the moment. Just recived a few carbon fibre shocktowers of DMS today. So once I've finished the mounts which I'm currently on with, I'll post them up for sale, with or without the tower.

1st kit has already been pre-ordered by a USA team driver :thumbsup:

I've done a couple of other little projects for people on here, But if they want people to know about them I'm sure they will post them up ;)


Thought about rear hangers, but there are already a couple of people making them, which kind of cuts the market share down.

[Cream]

Next batch of mount are ready..
I also have a limited number of DMS shock towers to go with them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Creamuk/mountwithcarbon.jpg


Mount as before £11
shocktower £18.39

I am planning on supplying screws as well, but Mr postman doesn't want to deliver them. They will be £1 for a set of 4.

Postage as per first post in this thread..

NEW PRODUCT COMING SOON.:wub

[Cream]

So here it is..

Little difference at first appearance? First thing you might note is the lack of a pin. Reason being it's not needed and was a legacy of the K-factory mount these are based on.

My biggest concern when I started making these was to make something that didn't fail. To finish first, first you need to finish, and if your steering goes AWOL because of a stripped thread I've fail.

Stainless steel was my first choice as far as strength was concerned. There where lots of mumbling about them being to heavy, But after being put into production most if not all found that unfounded. But, and it's a big but people where still concerned about putting 14g at the front of the car.

That's where these come in, Made from an aerospace grade of Aluminium not only are they light at 4.6g They also have a very high tensile strength, which makes the thread very strong. That along with the tapping method nearly has them rivaling steel in strength. Certainly strong enough to snap your stud before stripping the thread.

The price is the same as before at £11.00

I hope to within the next couple of days also have a new product that is being released by DMS, Which they are calling Flex-carbon. A carbon fibre blend which has all the positives of carbon but with a little more give which reduces breakages. I'll let Darren fill in all the details about that product, but I know he's very excited about it.



Little video for what it's worth :bored:

Nice new part, cool vid.

[rednoise]

Hi Noel ,

I'm back to you to ask : what about doing this part (stainless steel)???
http://www.redrc.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/TresreyDurangoWeight-1.jpg
How much would it cost??
With the new V3 I think you "should" have a Durango hopup parts line in your extremly creamy bits collection!
Also , I have a 210 pre ordered at Lazy , if ever you need some dimensions or something else , do not hesitate to ask!

Have a nice day!
red. (thanks for the link @ RC4Ever!)

So annoyed. Missed Mr postman today so no tower to show you till tomorrow.

Just to fill everyone in, DMS will be announcing a new shock tower probably next week now as I've just pinched all his stock .
Same design as the carbon tower but made from a product they are calling Flex-carbon. Combining all the strength of carbon fibre but with a little flex to reduce impact breakages. Best bit. It's cheaper Costing just £14.69.

Both Darren and myself will be doing the two products together for £24.99

Hope to have pic's up tomorrow. Unless Darren has some already for you to have a look at?

[Cream]

Yay picked up my DMS towers today.
The all new Flex-carbon. Part No DMS173

Ditto.

[Chippy96]

I`m pretty sure you can buy these from DMS (I havent looked so appologies if you cant!!)-but the tower is from Dms anyway and the Cream chap makes the metal components and they help each other out if you see what I mean....:thumbsup:

[Chippy96]

I had a quick look for you on the DMS site.The parts you require are in the DMS Partz section.DMS173A is the tower on its own and DMS173A-CREAM is the tower and the metal mountings in one package.

[Cream]

Ditto.


I've recived and replied to machocave's PM and sent out the goods :thumbsup:
I don't apear to have recived a PM of you Kurt04?

Quick andwers is I don't currently have the aluminium version in stock, but I do have the stainless steel version in stock. Also the DMS towers are in stock. DMS may have some of the aluminium version in stock if that is what you are after.

One of these days, I need to get some more mounts from you. I'd like to try the aluminum ones. Machodave and Kurt are running my big bore SC towers for the SCX-60CF so I sent them your way for the mounts.

machocave did say you had put him onto me, Thanks for that. He bought 2 pairs of the stainless version.

[machocave]

Thanks! It's good to know :) I was looking at a B4 the other day, and it's nice to know I can get the shock tower with the K Factory style mounts :)

I've received the K Factory Mounts and they are totally awesome! I've made a video of the unboxing and a little demo of how I am building out my SCX-60 CF using the K Factory Mounts and the Speedy Dad Big Bore Shock Towers http://youtu.be/9_ilvdjSC9E

[YoungChazz]

I didn't realize you had done all those videos, Macho. If it's OK with you, we'll link to 'em all from our FB page.

[machocave]

Hi Chazz! Wow! That would be awesome :) Go ahead and link away :) I'm totally flattered :)

Hmm, maybe I forgot to send it. SS is fine with me if you won't have AL in stock for a while. PM me with price shipped overseas and Paypal address if you accept it.

well i tried a team sr 4mm carbon front shock tower on my x6sq this past weekend and it broke. it broke right where the four screws mount to the front top plate. and no it was not from hitting anything. another racer at my track had the same tower on his son's buggy and it broke as well. he has a dms tower on his x6 and he hasn't broke his. i wish there was a supplier for your tower here in the states, if there was i'd buy one today

[YoungChazz]

I believe D.M.S. makes the CF towers, probably has one in stock, and they do ship reliably to the U.S.

Sorry no, Taken me all my time to get round to doing any colour, Decided team blue was the most neutral.
