Hobbywing 60a all the way, I've got the waterproof one and it's a good ESC. For the short wheelbase I'd go for the non waterproof one. 

 

I'l lhave a Google - do they come pre configured with motor bullets?

I got the Hobbywing 60a from Model sport, there was an option to add the bullets and battery connectors, came all fitted., though I may still need to shorten them when I finally instal it.

It's a quick job to add some bullet connectors. I think someone said it comes with 12awg cable which would be slightly big for micros. Personally I'd be using 14awg.

It's all good 👌 

 

Thought sod it - so I've done a crash course in soldering and repaired not one but two of the cars. Exact same problem on the other. 

 

We've all just come in from a bashing session 😁👍🏼

The horrible traxxas motor has been replaced with a racestar 2845 5900kv motor. Just testing it out of the bench this thing has a whole lot more power, I think I need to drop the gearing slightly to 17t as there's a little bit of cogging. 

 

 

Not the cleanest wire job however will do...

For £11 you can’t really go wrong , unless of course it consumes the whole buggy in fire😀

It's normally ESCs that blow, I've heard decent reviews about this motor. I just need my servo and floating mount to arrive to finish it off. I also have some RPM rod ends on order as I hate the blue ones. 

[Ag100]

I have some black ones in my little stockpile of additions to mine when it arrives.

Mines from RCmart so God knows when they'll arrive.

Looks a good job, smart buggy.

Been investigating the ripping / grinding sound from the lads SCT, was happening under full power and I think it's the spur gear.  It looks like a few teeth are missing and others are very worn down. I've got one ordered. He was also having a problem when turning, it would lock up - turns out it has dogbones in the front rather than CVDs! Didn't even know. So got a pair of those on order too.

 

And on the other lads MT, the hinge pin came out the suspension arm twice. Need to investigate that because at first glance it looks like it just came out the front hole only, the back one was still in ?! Must be a split in front part.

 

Just seems to be one thing after another this week with cars!

I've got the metal spur and it's very loud, I did order the plastic ones however I've got no idea when they'll arrive.

I had a look but couldn't find a metal one. Got a plastic one on order so we'll see how that goes.

Do you have the slipper clutch on it?

I think it's from hot racings or something, it bolts stright on. 

 

 

It might be this but I can't be 100%

How does it come out and the hinge pin remain in place? 

[Coops]

I've made it look worse but this was just a hairline crack.

Trackstar sportsman has done us well - bar the faulty ones from new....

 

Also no complaints on the Hobbywing xr10 juststock - what my race emb as run for ages.  Being as your looking for the MT, you have space under the hood, so consider the hobbywing 120a 10bl120 - will give you options to use it elsewhere.

The horrible blue track ends have gone...

Looks much better

It's one of those things that I feel should be left black, now I just need my DMS order. Have you heard anything?

[Ag100]

I spoke with them on email at the weekend, they are trying to get hold of customs, so I guess it’s all held up there.
