the pooch Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hello all ive just bought the ecx ruckus and im feeling more speed haha. Im led to believe that its a 380 motor standard. Is this the size? So all ill need to get a 380 brushless motor and a different speed controller? Also im guessing im going to need a lipo battery upgrade aswell? Im new to this and dont really understand what is needed. Any parts websites would be appreciated as I want to upgrade my shocks too really. Many thanjs Josh.

the pooch Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I've managed to get a brushless upgrade and im fitting it now. Its the mtronik g2 micro. One question I have is should I have brought a pinion? As the plastic one im replacing is stuck on the motor. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm guessing YES. Are there any clues in the Instruction Leaflet as to pitch and pinion size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the pooch Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ive read its a 2mm Ill ring modelsport tomorrow as I bought it from there. My next question is receiver lol. My car has a esc and receiver combo. do I need to buy a receiver now aswell? The plug from my esc is the same as the one on the servo so theres no way of just plugging them in. Cheers Josh.

chewbacca Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The 2mm is the shaft size. Yeah, you'll need a new receiver. Best ask MS what to get as I don't know what type. You gonna post some pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the pooch Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 They are! They have everything in stock and fast delivery. My next problem is ive assembled everything and set the new radio gear and speed controller up. Took it for a blast it was great. I then went too take it for a blast again and it didnt move. It sounded like the motor was spinning but nothing else so I checked it and was all fine I then powered it up and spun the wheels fast and wont stop. Ive checked and all the dials on my controller are fine. Im guessing its the esc? Its an mtroniks micro g2 esc brushless 370 6500kw motor and 2s lipo battery. Many thanks josh.

revoman30 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've had problems in the past with the ruckus' rear differential. You may have possibly rounded out the plastic out drive gear that the drive axle goes into. If you take apart the differential, you will know what I am talking about. The drive shaft slides into the out drive gear and is attached with a screw. Make sure that screw is tight and that the plastic gear is not rounded out where the drive shaft goes into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
