Highlander Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 ah cool, you will probs have to do what myself and a few confirmed other people have with it, fit all the screws loose and then tighten them all, Their tolerances of part fitment is little to be desired and some muppet at castle designed it so the stock gear cover doesnt even work due to the motor shaft/pinion protruding out too far. People have got round that by cutting a hole for the pinion but this means you can only use one size pinion and gives a good way for dirt to get in.

samshirley001 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 messed around with the speedo, added some brakes, and slower reverse (100% power in reverse doesn't seem fun somehow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samshirley001 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 my temp gun recorded an air temp of 2 degrees. some pics to ooo and ahh and wtf over. and yes that is probably the most sensible place to mount the ESC i have 3 problems so far. 1. the reciver wire is too short - buying an extension lead. 2. the 8mm bullets are really hard to remove, and one time i removed it and it removed itself from the wire. 3. a nut is stuck, so i can;t use my run down dirtbusters i did manage to give it a quick blast up and down the street on 5s, and it was pretty quick for a big car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshirley001 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 BAD NEWS when i was testing on 10s, the esc let out some magic smoke, now it isnt working. i contacted the seller, gonna try and get a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
