Oh How Original Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Could it not be a bit over geared ? How's the temps tapatalk Only on a 16t pinion, not mega high. ESC was cold, LiPos where just slightly warm (same as they always are in the buggy) and motor was only warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can't believe I forgot this, the two guys I was with were both running Slash 4x4s. Car one had a fan on the VXL and a fan on the motor, but no "Dusty Motors" shroud. His temps were toasty at 70C for the ESC and 80C for the motor, all on 2s. Car two had no fan on either the ESC or the motor AND had a "Dusty Motors" shroud. His temps were 90C for the VXL and 126C for the motor! Cushty!

Oh How Original Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 What's that thing sticking out the front of your Baja? Some kind of DIY bumper? Or have you put the I-RC chassis brace on wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Gave the 8ight-T a good bash, ran like an absolute dream, jumps beautifully, goes nice and quick, so much to the point I'm considering cutting the buggy loose to fund more LiPos and a better charger... Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Wasted time stripping and rebuilding the rear diff on the SCT. Stupid plastic diff gears. Found one of my LiPo's had puffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Finished my 8ights Proline Bulldog, not come out great, but I didn't really expect it to, partly from rushing a bit towards the end and partly because the first two layers of liquid mask where a completely crap one that didn't really work. But I've made it to such a point I don't mind bashing it, she's no shelfer, so needed a shell I was happy to use and abuse Overall happy for my first attempt though, once it's dirty and dusty it won't make much odds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
