If your can and speedo got warm but not the pack, you should be ok with going up a tooth or two on the pinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Gave PW his first full throttle runs on 3s down at Ynys Hir sands, what an animal he is! I had him running a 23t pinny which is a bit too big for general bashing, I'm waiting on a 20t and 22t (ideally I want a 21t but I've been unable to locate one as yet). My thoughts on the quality of the plastics are being borne out, I didn't keep him on all four wheels all of the time and he's showing no signs of breakages/weakness yet. I love the self-righting ability of the rally shell. I parked PW on the roof of the car, shell off, to enable the sand to dry off and decided that Chevy Carnage had to taste 3s power at least once in his life! I popped the 22t pinny off the shaft and slipped a 19t on (volt up, gear down), plugged the pack in, popped the shell on and let rip. OMG!!!!!!!!!! Bearing in mind the fact that the can is 520kv higher than the one in PW and the tyres are significantly bigger, the speed was epic. I didn't really hit full throttle for more than a few seconds each run, I simply couldn't! I thought it was all over when the cartwheels started but he ended up on his wheels and I started to drive him back to me, only to find that steering was difficult. I limped him back to me and picked him up to inspect the damage. The left steering rod had popped off the arm at one end and very nearly off the other end. So there you have it, it is perfectly possible to bash the Carnage chassis on 3s and not catastrophically break anything. Even the diffs are still working. After a quick blast with BLBB, always fun, I decided to slow things down a bit and take Boudicca for a walk into the dunes, I wanted to preserve my 3s pack for the dunes so popped a 2s pack in and set off. Once at the dunes the 3s went in and I pointed Boudicca into the unknown, she's eaten a lot of my coin since I got her but finally she's the rig I always knew she could be. I've decided to trust the Hitec servo and do away with servo savers, a wise decision it would seem, the steering is spot on now. The 2 speed box is proving to be a good buy, giving her the pace to cover open ground and the torque to cope with the rough stuff. So all in all, a great afternoons bashing was had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
