One Legged T-Rex (OLTR)

[Loguzzzzzz]

No. That does not breach the exterior of the frame. The diameter of that (deep) cut is only 3/8" wide.

Ahh yes! I see that now.
Cool!

You cant put the LPR inside because there is no material to tap for the LPR. The bottom of the Intelli-Frame is machined out. take a look at the bottom and you will understand what I am talking about. . . . .

I have one idea that I have been kicking around as a solution to that but I am not willing to share it!

Yeah, I noticed that. I'll probably make an insert the the LPR will be threaded into or one of my other ideas.

I've got plenty of ideas, just a lack of machining capability.

I just machined an Intelli looks there wont be any issues, there was an area that concerned me but we're good after all. I'll have to clean up the tool path, got some chatter but that can be fixed. Purpose build frames will be so much cleaner.

Purpose build frames will be so much cleaner.

Yet, there are many more intelliframes and other frames out there. Just saying...

What is the hole in the tab towards the back for?

[gotzskillz]

It's for mounting. Luke made his cheatah specifically to fit and mount in his frames. The tab can still be used for other frames but a bracket has to be made.

I'm kind of leaning towards the T-Rex name after some thought about it, well after Fred planted it in my head that Cheatah was cheezy (<

Any frame I make down the road will have a built in mount in the frame, for now there will be a little bracket that can be screwed to the frame.

I'm good with t-rex. Kinda liked it myself. Just wasn't sure which one you preferred haha.

Yea me to, Fred got in my head once he explained where he was coming from, now when I see Cheatah it doesn't work for me.

Couldn't you use slightly longer grip screws to hold the valve in?

Possible. But I believe somewhere earlier in the thread was mentioned the thinness of the walls and how unneeded pressure could eventually lead to failure. Correct me if I'm wrong though

Yep, found it.

[luke]

Probably, but I wanted to avoid having to fiddle with custom ground screws. I considered set screws, but they were actually a bad fit with the current design of grip panels, plus thin walls on the frame and valve made that a bad idea. It didn't sense to redesign the panels or valve to solve that problem. A mounting tab solves those issues and mounts the valve in the exact place it needs to be. No adjusting or fiddling or concern, just screw it down and your done.


One screw to hold the mount tab in and one screw to hold the valve.




An intergraded mounting tab into the design of the frame will make the mount 70% smaller and tucked back and out of the way.



The cut cutout around the set screw (RHS) is a grip screw relief so you don't have to have a special length screw.

Very nice.
It will be perfect in my armada !
