JAYPEE's New SXS Build

Hey guys, heres some pic of some misc junk i have put together to start a build. this will not be a rhino build, but because we build arms for the rhino i will be using the frame to build a jig to start my new tube chassis. (no the rhino frame is not for sale, its already sold once im done with it, lol)... i intend to also use a rhino style body, but there wont be much rhino about it, more so a one off SXS.

the car will be a foot longer then a stock rhino and roughly 6' wide in the cab. im building custom +10 arms that will either be cad drawn boxed arms or square tube like the arms we make now with some more plating. im trying to get 18" or so fo travel and will design the car as more of a desert car as i rarely ride the sand. i will run reverse so more then likely ill runn the rpm drive unless i scrape the cash for a jeffco. it will be powered by the RC51; i went this rought for the vtwin torque with the intent of turboing it if it didnt meet my standards for power. i hope the keep the car light to help with this.

i will be using some parts that we make, plan to custom make some more and have a goal of being done by october. anyways, any imput/advise you guys can give along with lessons learned that i should be looking out for would be greatly appreciated.

also if you have pics that you can email me for ideas or things you did that can help me, you can email me at intertech.irp@gmail.com

ill try to keep pics update as often as possible...

I personally think the RPM box is a bad choice for a reverse box.....they are to low gear reduced...it will put your final drive at 5:1+ and you will end up with shorter chains due to having to run similar size front and rear sprockets....My 2 cents
 
Jeffco defiantly a better choice

RPM is 4.75:1 - 10:1 reduction

Jeffco is 3:1 reduction but its an open diff...so in some situations its a 1 legger

TomPro is 1.38:1 reduction and is a locked diff....but has a wide flange to flane measurement.


None of these boxes in my opinion are ideal for the rhino. But I feel the TomPro was the best choice because I can use standard sized sprockets and still end up with a decent final drive ratio. Plus there will be virtually no chain issues...the chain will be a yearly maintenance thing I have to use centerboard hubs to get the travel out of the tompro due to the wider drive flange area tho. Heres a picture.

whats the measurement on the tompro from cv to cv, jim

Flange to flange is 14"s

Jeffco is like 10.25

Rpm is in less than that like 8-9"s

With running centerboard hubs I will have about the same axle length as a +6 lt kit....I was hoping for a little more to get more travel but it is what it is. The length to width ratio is already bad so without going longer on the chassis going wider is really not an option for me

how are you going from the rhino centerboard axle to a 930 cv ?
 
no, I know...hahahhaa...I am just trying to seppd the project along...LOL.

i have a feeling hes gonna change his mind along the way and end up building something competely different than he set out too. guess well have to sit back and wait! hurry up fool and build it!
