Nitro Nick Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I am using 12mm alloy hex's now & having no problems with wheels, rounded a few wheels when using plastic ones though. My issue now is breaking drive pins that attach the drive shaft to the output from the diff shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Only on 2S The supplied pinions were 11t and 17t if I remember correctly. 17t was just mental and 11t felt a bit slow so I put a 14 or 15t in that seemed a good compromise. Yeah well I have fitted the 17t for now with the fan on the motor also to see what it is like speed/temps wise. Going to tape and shoe goo the shell then I can take it for a bash to my local BMX track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Does anybody have any recommendations for motor/ESC combos in these? The Castle setup was running quite hot yesterday and went into thermal cutoff a couple of times so need something which is more manly I think.

mydoddy69 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I love the setup I use http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=161533579786&globalID=EBAY-GB http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=221739468485&globalID=EBAY-GB Run it on 3s all day long on a 16/54 plenty quick and plenty cool Or the other end of the scale is a tekin pro 4 3000kv and a matching esc but thats silly money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just a little trim so the motor clears if you not got a Dremel use some sandpaper it's not a lot that's needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Don't suppose you mind sticking a pic up to illustrate where you had to trim please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 What 17mm wheels/tyres have people used on their pedes? If you have pics that would be most helpful too [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Sad to say it but i dont have a pic of what i trimmed but i do have a pic of how it looks all in Its very little you need to trim just a touch of the center cover so the end of the motor clears These are rpm revolver stablemax 17mm wheels and a set of HPI bullet mt tyres on them Or you can do the wheel mod and chopt the outer bead of the wheel and trim the tyre like this with outer bead outer bead gone see the line on the tyre you cut that off so it ends like this then mount them up as normal or nowadays you can go the easy route and just buy the proline 17mm 2.8 wheel http://www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-f-11-2.8-traxxas-style-bead-black-wheels-17mm-hex/rc-car-products/387705 and just add what tyre you like from the 2.8 range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Past 6 weeks I've broke pins , shafts , split centre shaft , rounded wheel hexes , ripped tyres ......................... But had fun ! So ... Ordered t bone centre shaft MIPS all way round But unsure on wheels I think the 17mm option is a good one as it will cure the hex issue and plus buggy and truggy On road and off road , there's loads of options My traxxas ultimate alloy uprights have 1.5mm of slop from years of previous use so will replace them but otherwise it's an awesome truck Impressed that much that I'll probably sell on my savage alza flux xl as I've not touched it at all !!

The Dark Knight Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Missed this build thread! It's looking awesome, a Stampede 4x4 has always been one of those rc's that I've fancied getting but never bothered. I really like how versatile they are.

RCbutcher Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah I have seen these but I am useless at gluing wheels/tyres so wanted preglued jobbies....Im going to see how it runs on 2s at the moment temp wise on the gearing I currently have it on - if it is OK then I won't even bother with 3 cell. Did you run it on 2s or 3s when you had it mate? You are only as good as the glue you use lol, if you buy the hpi rc tyre glue you'll be fine cos it comes with a long nozzle that's hair thick at the tip to get right into the bead. I've tried other glue cheaper ones and made a right mess of my proline tyres the glue reacted with the rubber and turned yellow it was horrible. But seriously the hpi stuff makes it really easy.

DUBZN1 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Just got my set of xo1 shafts and 17mm hubs but not fitted them just yet I got some traxxas jato wheels ..... Wow what a difference it makes There smaller in height as compared to the trenchers so this makes it a tad slower but a lot cooler motor temps and is brilliant to drive now , so much more control and the run times have gone way up too Not as much wheelieing though It's really opened it up !!! Had such a blast and now I'm even happier !!!! Not too keen on going 17mm as the 1/8 buggy wheels will be a bit heavier so will reduce all the run time ect and temps will probably go up Any ways here's a not so good photo of it with the wheels on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Looks awesome pal....you should of asked about wheels, I have a set of proline road rages on desperado wheels with 12mm hex which would of been spot on for it. I've sort of put mine on the back burner for now as it's far too pedestrian on 2s with this combo so I am undecided which way I'm going to go....hobbywing sc8 + hobbywing 4000kv 4 pole on 2s or lower kv bigger can on 3s.

DUBZN1 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Cheers pal Just bought a brand new set of mashers and the front wheels catch on the stone guards!!! What a bummer but as I say , big improvement with these wheels It's wild on 2s and not needed to try 3s Tempted to put 4800kv in see what it's like ...... Frightening ........

shdaxner Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 You running the hobbywing 4pole 4000kv and wpsc8 in yours? If your after the 4800kv one then get in touch with Noel as he has one going spare I believe. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ye 4000kv in it now And getting that 4800kv Made it more .... Erm ...... Street ????? It's not my usual style but kinda works I think Thoughts guys ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUBZN1 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Put telemtry on Here's a pic running 2s It didn't peak more than this And on 3s Rose a little more than this but not much Not enough to be worried anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
