jimbulsara Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It is actually in the diff, some section that is a bit harder to turn. I have already disassembled and assembled and still there. I hope it will iron itself out after one run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It’s worth double checking the diff, where the two slots are (circled in the photo), I managed to move them out of position when dropping them in (they slot into one another), the diff still functioned, but was a bit rough.

I disassembled the differential again and assembled it and the diff was fine. i really dont know why when you put it with the input gear in the gear you get that section of stifness. I have put grease and assembled the gearbox regardless. It is a bit better but still if you turn slowly enough you can feel there is a bit of stiffness in one section. I hope it irons itself out after the first run, I will test it and then see... Really annoying...

Ag100 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Ran this today, one 2s pack, short grass, mostly flat out. Checked motor temps, highest was 80c, but it cooled pretty quick (have put a heatsink on the Motor). Is this ok?, 18t pinion (hot racing hardened steel) with a 60t Spur (hot racing hardened steel) Edited July 28, 2020 by Ag100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 80 is fine, I wouldn't want to go above 100. Grass will always put strain on the motor Vs tarmac or flat ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Fair enough, it’s running really nicely now, want to get it on a track, but struggling to find anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbulsara Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 is the quickrun 16bl30 (30 amps) enough for the emb1 with the 6150kv tenshock motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I’m not sure actually, I run the Quickrun 10bl60 with mine, hopefully someone else can advise, the kit I had came with a 4850, and that 30amp esc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently have the esc on the top deck, receiver in between motor and servo, capacitor on servo and switch on the top deck behind the esc. But with the standard body, I had the esc minus the fan squeezed in between the motor and servo, receiver on the servo and the capacitor and switch on the chassis in front of the receiver. It is all very tight, but can be made to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting for that quicrun 16bl30 (havent bought a soldering iron so I went with this one which has the connections that I need) and will get some pics once I install it.

Yes, I have upgraded most parts on this, all pretty pointless😬, but I really enjoy working on it. it has a carbon chassis, top deck, shock towers, battery strap and steering Ackerman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbulsara Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Finally took the car down for a proper run. It is so fast and drives so well, it’s fantastic. However the 6150kv motor is too much for the 16bl30 esc. Within 3 minutes the esc temps were up to 70 C. This was with the mid pinion. The motor was cool however. I will get the 10bl60 when I order a soldering iron next month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag100 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 You may find those tyres won’t have enough grip on anything loose once you get the lipo through it, the 1/10 touring car Fastrax Rally Block Are really good on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great service from DMS racing too I'm new to this and about to order an LC12B1 kit. This forum has been great to find information prior to ordering and starting the build. I really like the build above, what are the bumpers and tower protections? I read about the T-bone racing one but seems to be out of stock everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shock protectors are 3D printed by one of the members on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, no the stock shell wouldn’t fit with it in this position, so with the stock shell I put it between the motor and servo on its side, which worked fine (taped down), it was just purely that the Phat Bodies shell gave me more room so I could then put the esc on the top with the fan too. I think without the fan and some thinner gauge wires you may be able to squeeze it under the stock shell (this is not the stock ESC, It’s the Quickrun 10BL 60) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I put spacers under the stock body mounts to raise the body and had a big ass 60amp esc on the top deck no fan on, depending on what motor, gearing and sticking to 2s batteries you will get away with not having to have a fan on the 60a esc Edited September 4, 2020 by silone74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Fitted the new out drives and rebuilt no the diffs, fitted new motor mount and finally got the EMB1 up and running again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
