  • RC Cars:Hyper 7/8/9

Posted 09 March 2011 - 05:31 PM

Hi there, I saw videos of the mamba monster conversions and I was amazed at what they can do. So I bought one the 2200 v3 combo for my hyper 7 , but I am unable to do wheelies like I've seen in the videos. And the videos was of hyper 7 and truggys. I have a 15 t and a 4 cell 21525c lipo battery, is there any chance you can help me? Do I need to programme it via the USB , if so what's the settings? Please can you help.  Thanks Mr crew tk

Sounds like the motor is just undersized for that car, they really need low-KV 550-sized motors.

How do I go about knowing how to gear my MERV with an Ezrun 13t and 35a in it? And what mount do I need to purchase?

Thanks

Hi ,,
I've been reading throu this thread, but I must be missing something....

I'm using Ansmann Racing Drift Kenjo Motor - 21T with a 54t / 32pitch Spur , 12t / 32 pitch Pinion....
Do I go Smaller/Larger , Spur or Pinion for more speed.....
Don't know my Gear box ratio...

More speed = bigger pinion and/or smaller spur gear.

Thanks Garry for the reply...

Don't think I can get a smaller spur gear ,that would fit...

Bigger Pinion yes...

14t or bigger ?

Yep, don't go up by more than 2 or 3 teeth at a time to make sure you're not going too far on the gearing and damaging the motor by overloading it though. Jumping 5 teeth in one go may be too much to ask :lol:
