You definitely do have an increased risk of shearing off the teeth with only 3.6 teeth in mesh. The number of teeth a belt needs in order to transfer the highest working force a belt should be used with to the pulley is about 6. With some rough calculation your safety factor from shearing off the teeth, assuming you use a 9mm belt, is only 1.15. I would certainly advise you to use an idler to increase the number of meshed teeth.
Hi @walmis - Looking for a quick release mount for the Rhino and wondered if the screw dimensions were the same as anything else? I ask because the monstertech plate you supplied was for something else right? Maybe a large Virpil base? Or is it unique and the monstertech is bespoke to the Rhino? Thanks!
ah, good to know! I'll have to work something out then as it's all mounted to a 8040 alu frame on a yaw2 and need to keep weight down so want to swap out the rhino weight for a fanatec csl dd when driving. Been tricky to find a solution so far
Thanks. It could be either m8 or m6. For everything else I've used the quick releases from https://qr4rigs.com/ which have been great for swapping out pedals with rudders and the wheel and they do have some generic ones so I'm seeing what can be done there
I'm currently mounting the rhino using the custom monstertech to a 4040 peice coming out from the long 8040 sides most rigs have as the foundation and that's working fine. Just wanted a faster way of removing it. I think Q4Rigs might have something, just need to dig down and be creative
Excellent, just got home and unboxed. Will be a few days before I can install. My goal for now is getting the DCS helo's to work. I fly the 60 and huey mostly, but also give the 64 and mi8 some love.
Likely a silly question... I am looking at ordering a kit....and I see them listed as 86BLF03 x1 and 86BLF03 x2 and such. I am assuming I need to order an x2 kit to build the stick base yes? Thanks
