stampede with 6s 10a lipo full throttle


sgevans23

Recommended Posts

So i tried to get my pede to run full throttle again with castle mamba 2, and 6s lipos, (2x 11.1 5000mah)

 

It barely lasted 3 secs at full throttle when the front tyre exploded and the rear diff housing nuts shredded off.  This is the second time one of my HPI phaltline 17mm tyres exploded, even after i had strapped them and used shoe glue to keep the strapping stuck.

 

next step, invest in xo-1 and replace the diff housing.

It runs great with only one of the 3s lipos, and good for general bashing about on ramps and in the woods, but when i add the second 3s lipo and take it on  long flat straight at full throttle it just falls apart. Its a different animal and incredibly stupid quick, over powered to say the least, i have upgraded dozens of parts, trying to find parts that are indestructible. I believe i am almost there and hell bent on getting this truck to be stable at high performance. someone else in this forum advised me to get the xo-1 tyres and i have been putting it off but admittedly they are the only option, also with less traction it should be kinder on the parts.

That drivetrain just won't take that kind of power.

The diff cups can be replaced with ally versions, but the ring gear will fail soon after.

With that combo, 3s, maybe 4. Definitely not 6.

Kudos for actually managing to squeeze it all in. ;)

gear ratio is currently 20/54

i have tried 25/36 the mod 1 upgrade but it didnt like it, found it got hot very quickly and struggled. i was worried that the esc or motor might burn out so i just reverted back to the 25/54 ratio which o find most fun
