I'll try 2s Lipo's next and I have a spare 60A Brushless Combo I can also try out, but the motor has a 5mm diameter output shaft, so what you have there should hopefully do the trick....

Redback Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 5mm pinions now we are talking. Lower kv for this truck will be better due to the gearing. Hope the 3660 fits for you if so you might have a revolution on your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the 3660 fits for you if so you might have a revolution on your hands. So you don’t lose top end speed with lower kv ? Is the Max10 SCT 3200kv combo the best likely fit for now? I need to run 2s as I don’t have any 3s batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Surpass do a whole range of 3660 motors for about £20 a pop from China Edited June 17, 2021 by walkbythesea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I got cogging with a 3680 2000kv motor on the 4s hobbywing on this truck with my modified stock transmission gearing. I dont know if theres anyway besides a sensored system to improve your cars performance. The 3300kv on the sct esc on 2s 30c+ battery, low punch power setting, should be pretty smooth i would imagine. Run a fan anyway as you race it puts more stress on the motor and a cooler motor is more efficient.

walkbythesea Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I think I am working towards owning sensored systems in the future as I’m starting to appreciate the theory, though I’ve never driven one, but right now it’s a big expense that I can’t quite justify in this… …maybe next week 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most racers use sensored systems for the control. Im now considering going back to the stock transmission to see how it will runs as have a nice sensored motor that might squeeze in that will work nicely with those 5mm pinions. It's a 2700kv sensored castle system and currently running my custom transmission, its a torque monster and not slow! When you race are you limited to tire size etc... or is it just for fun? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for fun at present, a gang of us from work. I really enjoy the Outlaw platform and love seeing how much I can get out of it.

walkbythesea Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 We’ll I’ve gone ahead and ordered the max10 SCT with 3200kv 3660 - watch this space! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I've gone ahead and ordered a 5mm bore 17t pinion, watch this space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So the motor shaft didn’t fit into the gearbox but there was space at the front so I fitted a 2mm polycarbonate spacer, I like the wider helicopter pinion as I feel it supports the spur teeth better across their whole width, it all fits and big hand says it’s time to rock and roll 🤘😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much more drivable - good low speed start up and control, no hint of cogging at all, this car has never had any sort of low speed control before. It’s a torque monster - driving feel is so much improved, rolling pickup is instant and feel through the curves is much improved. I didn’t have access to my full straight this morning because of puddles, but still had 37mph out of it - definitely had more in it, and I was also being timid because of the new power! Am now able to exceed my handling mods again, it will roll again under high speed cornering as the speeds are higher over the same course. It runs really cool. Run time is extended, with the same battery over the same course I had considerably more runtime. It’s like running a big block V8 compared to a smaller high revving engine - it’s under no stress and just gets the job done - it’s so composed. Feels like the motor it was made to have, it’s a better truck all round. Now…. What about 4s…. 🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to switch to LiPo first though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Definitely going back to glued rims - these soft compound tyres and the gmade beadlocks do not work at all - MOAR POWAH just pulled the tyre clean off the rim 😂😂😂 Edited June 23, 2021 by walkbythesea 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badcrumble Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Now I know what breaks first! This is where I sit back, grab a metaphorical beer (currently in office hours) and watch how you get this platform sorted @walkbythesea. Then copy it 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
