Custom F-12S Chassis // BMF - Fπ<£!™

[Tex Koder]

What on Earth...!!?
Another Big package just landed on my doorstep..

Custom fabricated by Mr. @StephenSchandelmayer

Thank you so Very much!!
Such an Honor to receive this Hand-made One-of-Kind creation.



My feeble brain is straining to try and comprehend just how big this frame really is...

I can't even begin to come up with an original name that's properly befitting for a chassis of this ginormous size..

 

[StephenSchandelmayer]

Yessir!!! She's huge!! I hope it serves you well

 

[Tex Koder]

Just for comparison...

Kraton 6Sv5 LWB chassis ,on the left

It's a midget.


Looks more like a XXSWB....
next to this Red Python

 

[LibertyMKiii]

Awesome, looking forward to your creation with this!

Dang. So…driveshaft lengths?

 

[Tex Koder]

You know...
I may end up utilizing/re-purposing your Kraton (MegaDeath) as the donor source to try and bring this Phrankenstein to Life....

It's a tough call ,since I haven't even gotten a chance to showcasing/show off MegaDeath yet..

 

[Tex Koder]

Dang. So…driveshaft lengths?

Honestly , I have NO idea...
For the center driveshaft(S) length are yet to be determined..

I know I'm definitely going with a single motor configuration (for starters) ,so I will need to come up with a stretched dogbone (or two) that can reach from back to front..
Or,
Maybe some sort of Custom Hybrid Carbon Fiber shaft CVDs? to get power to the front diff..

Belt drive it!

 

[Jamr]

Screw the driveshafts. Dual motor it!

Mr. Schandelmayer had Already produced such an Insane Machine with Dual Castle motors - with this Exact chassis!

Ahhh yes that picture was the time of the offroad skateboard lookin thing

 

[Tex Koder]

Belt drive it!

You and @LibertyMKiii both have this thing with belt drive systems..

I Wish I could help make this happen (I Really do.) ,but the major issue/obstacle is that the current 6S or 8S
Diffs (and diff casing) aren't really conducive to accepting belt-drive configurations..

And any 3D printed versions of said casing will not hold up to actual use... at least not for very long.

Yeah you would have to do some serious stuff to make that happen. Wonder if you could possibly cut open the plastic diff housing in a way that would allow a belt. You could also run a Robinson racing 40 tooth spur gear that would face the teeth in the right direction and fit inside the case

 

[LibertyMKiii]

Probably would want an aluminum diff case if you were going to do something like that for strength.
Someone had done it at some point. I think the challenge was the belt gear/pulley inside was rather small and prone to slipping.

The ideal setup would be to re-design it to be open with bearing carriers on either side so you can fit a decent size gear/pulley.

Agreed.

If I have access to the CNC capabilities like Scorched or M2C ,I believe I would be able to produce the custom belt-driven diffs and its casing.. and just re-use the internals bits from Arrma.

Nice! So is the OG Goliath no more?

 

[Tex Koder]

Nice! So is the OG Goliath no more?

That is correct.

I hold in my hands the skeleton of what was once the mighty Goliath...

I hope I can/will create something just as worthy with this chassis
and make Mr. Schandelmayer proud.

 

[StephenSchandelmayer]

I love building things so much that I like going from thing to thing. Plus I do have wild ideas for a Goliath V2.....and I mean WILD, Tex knows....

That is correct.

Lolol the skeleton of what was once the mighty goliath, that wording almost makes me miss it!! I am sure you can make something great with it. Lots of room to play with on that chassis so think BIG!

 

[Tex Koder]

Planning on removing the old paint off the chassis..

Use gasoline to strip? Good idea??
