More pics about the "weirdness" of this proyect...
I decided to design a new type of calipers, that could achieve the "World Slimest" award. Explanations will follow, let´s see some pics: ![]() ![]() This is how the caliper looks when actuated... ![]() Caliper inners. External brake pad (thicker one) feature two tracks (conical) where the balls travel up and down ![]() Lever inners, with same conical tracks but upside down.... ![]() Hope you like this too. |

Different for sure..... Looking at your design i couldn't help to think that the engine,exhaust, carb and throttle servo as well as the drive train. Will pivot up and down when the swingarm is moving up and down?????? Just like the 1:1 scooters?????
Like the caliber it sorta reminds me of a wedge style brake caliper i tried way back. (Similar in operating concept) The wedge would be pulled up to make the pads make contact with the disc. The brake dust,dirt and grime would cause them to lock or not work as smooth. Had to scrap that design,they were nice and more scaled looking than my previous calipers. |

I have to see the brakepad in real life to understand how it engages. Just make sure you don't loose your Balls
![]() And I noticed your Roller Bars are still flying - will they be mounted on the front frame, or will you try to mount them on the swingarm? If on the swingarm, talk to Edi about his experience with that. |

Swheels, you´re right and found the best way to describe this swingarm setup..... Scooter!!!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Calipers are the result of a brainstorm trying to scale down the wire actuated mountain bike calipers for disc hubs. On the inside, those calipers look pretty similar to this design. Or at least, the disc caliper I installed in a 1/4 scale truck a lot of years ago. Gartenz, I´ll try not to loose "my" balls... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() About roller bars, I´m interested to test a pivoting system as Edi designed for his 2012 Jabber. They would be mounted in a subframe, pivoting on ball bearings right behind steering servo and connected to the swingarm by an adjustable link. In case these setup doesn´t work, I´m going to create a chassis tail (I need a rear body mount too....) where roller bars would be installed then. |

You will need a sturdy rear body mount or it makes launching a bike back onto the track difficult.
Some over here tried a thin piece of 6mm nylon rod as the back support and it always felt awkward pushing them away, and I was pushing by the tail, not by the rider( I dare not push by the rider because that would make things more difficult for a good launch, marshalling is hard enough! ).

You've design the first ever rc nitro scooter! I don't think a set scooter fairings would be easy to make(atleast for me) But i would love to see it built. I've watched some fullsize scooter racing on youtude.And those things are very serious racers and fast.. Never once again your ahead of the game!

I don´t plan to dress the bike as a Yamaha Aerox "Rossi Edition". I prefer Pedrosa style...
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jonathan, you´re right about the problems of marshaling, but many of them have been solved till SB5 fairing arrived. Its monocoque design offers many "hard places" to launch the bike. This is the body I´ll install on this bike, same I did on my other nitro CSC-EX1. I´ll try to upload a pic of this bike with a SB5 body installed, or just placed behind. ![]() ![]() ![]()

i still say scooter....
![]() ![]() ![]() 3 servos to operate bike right...I'm pretty sure you you want the throttle servo operating the brakes.When the throttle servo will be moving with the swingarm. Actually you could get away with having the throttle servo stationary.So it doesn't have to move with the swingarm.This should eleminate some weight that the rear shock has to keep in control. |

In fact, four servos for this bike...
Steering (low profile), throttle (micro), front brakes (mini) and rear brakes (mini too). Two first of the list are installed on the bike from very early development stages. The other two still wait for a place to be. I plan to install the micro servo that will handle the duties of throttle between the carb and the rear tyre. Rear brake servo could be installed between chassis plates behind steering servo. More to come soon. Cesar. |
