Gaz! Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hi all, Going to need to get myself a little reference thread going. I bought Noj's kit built one with tons of worthy upgrades and still very much over the moon with it but I have a problem, it eats brushed motors for fun..... So I've checked both axles with a strip and clean, same with gearbox, all still like new with plenty of grease still in. Biggest change to drivetrain is new rc4wd steel stamped oem wheels 2.2" with pitbull rock beats tyres, these were very wide and squashy so could be too much grip stressing motor, so got some new axial 2.2 rock star bead locks for it, not tested it yet but looks better than it did before, if not I'll be ordering some ci deuce foams or something along them lines. So, that leaves, propshafts, gear upgrade for gearbox, od and ud the axles and brushless it, then I'm done for a while, got another project I want to start afterwards. So by all means, please post up your thoughts and links in here, I'll get some pics up as she stands now and if Noj reads this he might pop up a pic of when he built it from new.

RCbutcher Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Sounds good I loved the one medic had built with the opening bonnet. Are they alot faster than the scx. What brushless system? Edited May 27, 2015 by RCbutcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sounds good I loved the one medic had built with the opening bonnet. Are they alot faster than the scx. What brushless system? Can be made faster or slower, it's a jack of all trades to be told mate, my old ridgecrest could go 80% where a en route berg comp crawler would go and still do donuts and lift a wheel for fun! god I miss that truck.... And that's what I'm wanting to get to again, it took abuse too and still came back for more..... Brushless system, dunno whichever will have the desired effect, I want the best bits for it whatever brand it happens to be...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 something like this gaz for brushless ? 3700kv runner (10.5t), mtronics esc ( i would look for a flashy mode, race-crawl-bash modes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Right, small update, Fitted a Titan 12t 550 motor in there on 17/87 gearing and ran fine, still has the desired wheel speed and for the first two packs through it, success, motor is warm but you can keep hold of it easily. Also changed the rc4wd rims in favour of some axial rockstar beadlocks, again much more slip than grip when needed and still deform when climbing. Although just ordered a set of ci deuces to try out next...... Pics will come shortly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
