richarddenton1982 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Fitted the Turnigy 160A ESC and Trackstar 2650 motor to the slash with a 13 tooth pinion and 3S lipo. Its FAST! Also fitted a Savox 1256TG servo on steering. From this: To this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zardoz Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I found out that you can't reverse the direction of a 'sensored' motor combo by switching two of the wires. Hope I have't damaged it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teshi Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I found out that you can't reverse the direction of a 'sensored' motor combo by switching two of the wires. Hope I have't damaged it What ESC combo is it?I thought that the sensor cable is just for sensing rather than anything so would not expect damage.

richarddenton1982 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Richard that's awesome buddy, i bet that ripps It does. It ripped the spur gear to bits! Took out the diff and installed a slipper and new spur instead! Then my day got even better. Courrier turned up with this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoz Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) What ESC combo is it? I thought that the sensor cable is just for sensing rather than anything so would not expect damage. It's an 11.5t version of the 13.5t one I have in my TT-01 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=22599 Thinking of how it behaved it was like it was going backwards and forwards between a motor turn really rapidly (sounded like cogging). It was running fine but backwards (full speed in reverse, 20% forward) so I resoldered two of the cables like I've done on sensorless combos before. I'll have a good look over the weekend. Fingers crossed for me! Edited July 5, 2013 by Zardoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksprogis Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 One speed pass with the storm resulted in this Yes its disgustingly slow even on 3s ... Nearly fell asleep ... Motor problems, Major Lag . I can only be that as the batteries are perfectly rated and its on my 4Pl Motor bearing fail ... Resulted in a dead Spur .. The ****storm continues aha The sooner I get it run over By Noj's Bl 5ive the better . Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Shame about the spur Richard, have to get a video of that running 3s I haven't done anything today, split the Hubsan down for spares after crashing it badly last night, ordered a new one though, so should be here soon, along with hopefully my motor/esc for the drifter. Taking too long Edited July 5, 2013 by Oh How Original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaClio Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So would I if it fit somewhere else! Loads of room the Slash 4x4 has quite a lot of space and is one of the easiest to move things around on. Move your current rx box up the front of the chassis and put the esc where the original esc and rx box was, straight forward five minute job. Or get one of these which will fit straight onto the front of the chassis:http://www.modelsport.co.uk/traxxas-receiver-box-stampede-rustler-bandit/rc-car-products/33252 Thanks.

mamba_man Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Theres a video on Youtube now! that's cool, maybe a steel spur would help but you might strip your pinion then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Theres a video on Youtube now! Not sure if it's always how you drive chap but you'll find it a lot easier if you steer a bit smoother instead of flicking the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play dude, I knew someone who used to do it like that and showed him the smoother approach and he drove waaay better How you liking it with the new leccys?

richarddenton1982 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Much easier than nitro. I thought for a whike I wanted nitro but I cant be bothered carrying all the bottles, starters and so on. Leccy is easier. I have a brushless vantage coming tomorrow too. Paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
