sleddriver Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 now trying to sort my sons maverick strada intemittant stop and start problem . taken the esc apart and its dirty and a little corroded , is there any way to clean it or is it new one needed? It seems to be shorting out when you move the battery connection wires . If it has to be replaced do i swap like for like or can you reccomend a cheeper or better replacement ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I could have a look at it for you mate but your probably best off just getting a replacement, what turn motor you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobyH Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Got some more bits on order for the Slash 4x4. ESC was on the way out so bought this after some discussion/recomendations: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180592560406?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Also bought some of these: http://miponline.com/store/mip10130.html Some of these: http://miponline.com/store/mip10115.html This: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?product_id=37399 To go with this: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?product_id=24924 Oh and these to round it off niceley: http://www.blacksmithproducts.co.uk/products.asp?cat=188 (Top right set) Oh and a new 32DP 16T 5mm Pinion to go with the first one. Big Bore shocks have arrived and so have the standard rate springs to replace the 'progressive' ones that came with them. Should keep me busy for a while....

TobyH Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Toby looks like you've had fun shopping mate lol Yes, just a bit!! Decided that if I'm going for the big motor then I may as well get everything strong enough with the rest of the drivetrain to stop it breaking...hopefully!

stretch Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) how come you've gone for such a low kv motor? that's the sort of size i'd recommend in a 1:8 model. Edited March 2, 2012 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyH Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 It's low Kv but its a 4 pole, so loads of torque, more than enough to run it with a 16+ pinion and standard spur, With all the extras as well and a heat sink on it should be capable of even higher if req'd. It even says on the sales info that it can be used on 4wd 1:10 SCT vehicles. Quite a few people have them from the recommendations I've had for it.

stretch Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Take it you'll be running on 3s then? I have one you can try in it if you want, look forward to seeing it in action. Well done for going for the ezrun and not the castle like i said, you won't be disappointed with it. Edited March 3, 2012 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
