Noj Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 why 2350kv over 2650kv? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 why 2350kv over 2650kv? Just curious Good question and that i don't really have an answer for other than i thought the 2650 would just be too over kill and be a beast to keep the front end down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 So i just got done putting my MIP driveshafts together and thought i'd share some pics and some tips i have come up with.. They more than likely have been done somewhere else if not then i don't know why as it's not rocket science that's for sure,especially if i thought of it Right this is them all together What i have done is added some of this Its just your everyday 25mm heatshrink cut into little bits then slipped over the shaft end like so I then just shrank it down to make a seal so the little [pin can't escape even if i loose the grub screw ..Reason for this is i have read of lots of folks loosing the grub screw then the pin pops out and you lose you drive shaft i did it for both male and female ends . I just left enough each end so that it forms a lip on the front side and the ovals on the rear so it cant slip of either way So that's them pins sorted nice and safe then i thought i don't like this idea of a grub screw either side to hold the shaft to the diff out put so i used some of these instead Drop of red threadlock and then i thought might as well use the same trick to capture this pin as well like this As you can see now all the pins and little grub screws are secured so if they do come undone hopefully i wont loose a shaft ..wells that the idea !!of out to put this through its paces and see what happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 What voltage you gonna run? 3500 down to 2350 will need gearing up, unless you're going 4s+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I would stick the mod 1 Revo set up in personally, nice and robust for the motor kv....3s should be fun, 4s will be lunacy I reckon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 What voltage you gonna run? 3500 down to 2350 will need gearing up, unless you're going 4s+? Its already in and volt wise sticking with a 3s and an odd 4s. Gearing wise i have started at a 19t pinion on the stock 54 spur runs great but has a tiny bit of cogging was going to go up a little on the pinion as well but that would make it worse ..Might whack the punch up and see if i can get away with a couple more teeth thou I would stick the mod 1 Revo set up in personally, nice and robust for the motor kv....3s should be fun, 4s will be lunacy I reckon.... That was my first intention to go mod 1 revo spurs but its so tight it just don't quite get a good mesh i tried the 40 spur if i could find a bigger one it would be better ..I could completely butcher the chassis and make it fit and work but don't like that idea. Not unless you know of a better way ?? i'm open to idea's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I ran a 2650 in mine, 3s and 18/54 gearing, it was quick, but nothing exceptional. 4s should see to that! It'll be utter lunacy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Surprised that the mod 1 isn't a direct fit...oh dear... custom motor mount would be a solution, not an immediate or cost effective one, but a solution nontheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 i think you should take the plunge and do the mod 1 buddy, you wont regret it if i remember i only had to cut a tiny bit out to get a good mesh i also left the center shaft cover off but i could get it on if i had a dremal to make a nice cut! on mod 1 with a 16t pinion and 40t spur on 2s its a right handful! matches 3s that standard offered i recon, 3s is insane god knows what 4s would be like hahaha Surprised that the mod 1 isn't a direct fit...oh dear... custom motor mount would be a solution, not an immediate or cost effective one, but a solution nontheless its not the mount unfortunately its the chassis, needs a touch removing so the motor can sit down more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may end up having to take a little more away with the dremel so i can fit a smaller pinion or just volt up and drop the punch .. Worse comes to worse i may loose this motor and go with a Tenshock there only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for clearing that up for me chaps. Looked at leopard cans? Narrower but longer, unless length is also an issue. I run a 2650kv in an LCG slash on 3s and it is bonkers, really torquey and keep on pulling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 This is how i got in there as you can see not much in the way of room to play with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Been out testing this today and well, the shocks are now a little to soft the slipper is spinning way to much.. It cogs slightly nothing to bad but its there none the less not as much as the mini 8 out the box but i shall try dropping the gearing to see what i can do to help it .. Stock tires are just useless and just kept coming of so they need replacing with the trenchers soon as and some thread lock on there to be safe.. Oh and i have just stripped out the diffs was thinking they be all covered in the usual cheap grease but to my shock they actually had diff oil in them So after a quick clean i have gone for 60 up front and 30 on the rear see how that tickles me fancy As for the slipper going to order up a revo one and for the shocks a couple of traxass red springs and a few losi ones see what works best for me Also i have got rid of the cable tie on the wheelie bar and instead replaced it with a good old rubber band and a little fancy thread work ..now it stays up and if it pops out it don't drag on the floor but at the same time it still has that flex it needs for those rear end landings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 That motor does leave much space does it?! Looking forward to see-ing a running vid of this now. Nice to see Traxxas isn't skimping on diff oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Well upgraded me slipper tonight must say its a lot bigger The old one was just slipping even when i had it done all the way up so i invested in the Revo one this is the old one And once i took it apart you can see the shoes are just disintegrating Not too good !!.. anyway on with the show this is the old against new As you can see there's quite some difference and finally the finished article so as you can see from the start it's much bigger and should stop it slipping now, well that's the idea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Top work as always with another no nonsense mod Is there any other mods required to fit the Revo slipper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yep its a dead easy mod to do buy it, fit it, and go bash it .. Just came in from a blast about and i must say its a huge improvement over the stock one Had my shock springs come today but the rears are too short and soft and the same with the fronts so i'll send the fronts back and stick the rears on the front see how i go with that .. Love setting up shocks and getting it to perform well in a host of conditions So that's my next job on the to do list shock set up .. I'm not going to bother with fancy alloy jobs or super expensive ones instead just mess with the stock ones i think there more than good enough they just need a little tweaking now to compensate for the extra weight .. Might even get some titanium shafts for them will see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The alu padded slipper is SO much better than stock .Saves on drive shafts cause of the lack of "grabbyness" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Have you had the Stampede out any more? How's a it running temp wise? What gearing are you running now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Have you had the Stampede out any more? How's a it running temp wise? What gearing are you running now? Yep its out most days as it sits in the car and is my daily basher till it breaks and comes in doors.. Its running really well but i do need to stick some better rubber on it at some point.. I have got the Trenchers here ready to go but just can't bring me self to use them till i sort out a new shell and get some pics all shinny and new .. Gearing well i ended up going up 2 teeth and now i'm running a 21t pinion on a 54 spur its a real blast on 3s and just silly on 4s handles way better and is a better ride all round on 3s i think .. temp wise is just brilliant motor gets no hotter than 120f and esc stays at around the 100f and lipos are maxing out at a silly 75f so all in all runs super cool .. The only issue i have is the cogging its not like bad just very little but it is there none the less. I am a sucker for a bargian and i have come across 2 new motors i'm going to try out both are brand new from a rc chop shop but until they come i'll keep you guys guessing .. If these are no good for what i want then i may go down the sensored route with a Tenshock 3500kv but will see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Fancy pointing me to the RC chopshop you're using? I'm in need of a new motor for my Slashpede conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better still if you can hang on in there for a couple of weeks till mine come i'll do you a deal on the one i don't go with save you having to import it and pay the duty ??

Leo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Maybe, depending on the KV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Have you decided to go down the Tenshock sensored route? If you are, what esc are you going to go for? The HW 120a SCT esc might be a good match for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
