Popular Post Bert_w164 Posted November 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I started the prep work to at least try and beat @Ant.p's Hyper VSE...While I managed 68, its bugging me he's 3mph behind without going full throttle, in fact I'm not even sure where this rivalry is going, neither of us have done a full throttle run, and both seem to be tinkering and making changes before maxxing them out. It'll probably end up evolving into something else and we'll have a scrap in costumes or something totally bonkers... Anyway: - Tidied most of the wires, going to reroute the LED wirers and safeguard them better - Used thicker wire between ESC and Motor, no real reason or belief that the 12AWG stuff was limiting me, and in fact it most likely detrimental as it weighs more... - Took material off the spoiler to try and reduce downforce so the car doesn't take flight again - Changed to EC5, no real reason or evidence of XT90s hitting limit, but I noticed the EC5s don't spark as violently and are soooo much easier to connect and disconnect. It was a case of buy more XT90 or try something different, so that's that. Next steps: - More speeeeeeeed, but without exceeding 1/8 scale electronics (e.g. oversized motor or 1/6 etc sized ESC) - and that's in motion 😉 - Over to the self proclaimed "top rude boi of Essex" @Ant.p Edited November 23, 2021 by Bert_w164 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Madmoz7610 Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Got a brand new thunder Tiger pro 21 engine off my brother in law earlier as the force 3.5 lost all compression and didn take too well to tuning, so gotta fit the pro21 later and set back to factory settings as he's had a mess about with the needles lol, also got a 19t clutch bell to go on so will fit that at the same time 🤠 will update later with the pics of the new parts Edited November 25, 2021 by Madmoz7610 Added a pic of the pro21 mounted with the body back on 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ant.p Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Purchased a Castle Creations Mamba monster X 8s direct from Wheelspin Models. Went mountain biking in wales and literally passed the shop on route so couldn’t miss the opportunity! installed to my VSe on getting home only to have teething issues. Bit the bullet and ordered a link that allows me to connect to a PC (not a Mac?!) which allowed me to update firmware. After that worked no problem. sort it out castle creations!! Why sell an esc that won’t work unless it’s updated? Why not put the essential ‘link’ in the box? Really not impressed there, but now it’s working… WOW! What a beast. still running 6s motor and cells but have the room to expand if/when I feel like it now. I also fitted a modified traxxas revo wing for less downforce/drag and a new heat sink with oversized fan to help cool the motor. Only the weather holding me back now from a new top speed PB.

Popular Post Redback Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 @Ant.p Nice one, not heard of having to update the esc before but glad you got it working. Monster esc's they are indeed, drive safe and enjoy your speed runs, what you aiming for mph wise? Thought the trx4 was sounding a bit rough and stiff, maybe the bearings might be on the way out and yep completely gone on the inside portal casing on 2 hubs, going to assume its the same on all corners. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bert_w164 Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 That's a beast of an ESC, @Ant.p hope you get on well with it. That castle data gathering feature looks awesome. Might have to get one of these myself down the road 🙂 In the meantime, my puny 1/8 sized 220a ESC and Reds 2800kv 6S rated motor will have to make do 😞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
