Not run it yet, he had a little trouble getting the mesh right with the pinion provided, but I think he might have sorted it. I will report back anyway because if his runs good, I'm buying electrics for this other one and I'll put some pictures and stuff up of them both. For now, he's still on the stock pinion, not sure what tooth it is I'm afraid, I'd guess around a 14ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks Dan. It's 10t and I'm almost certain 32dp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I knew it was smaller than 17 for sure, only glanced at the one on my Dads mind you, but yes 32dp is correct, I read the advert for them not an hour ago while trying and failing to find the Hellseeker MT shell.

Oh How Original Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Maiden run of my Dads little Bug. I personally expected it to be faster, for the 3600kv combo on 2s, but I'd guess the internal gearing is quite low, so that might explain it. Plus, over some better jumps, it should be more fun. He's happy with it though, the video is just a quick highlight, we were only outside for 2 or 3 minutes because the weather was gloomy but as their doesn't seem to be much being uploaded for these, I thought I'd d it anyway. This is running on this combo for anyone interested; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2838-3600KV-4P-Sensorless-Brushless-Motor-35A-ESC-fr-1-14-1-16-1-18-RC-Car-K7O7/282630864097?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Cheers for the vid Time to get mine running me thinks. Going with the lc racing 4500kv motor and might even throw in the longer LC truggy can later as theres room For now gonna borrow a HW 60w esc from myself and will get one of those poo ones off the bay later. took Guns's comment on te fitting servo from HK as gospel and was a righteous fit though imo it needs a side wall plate brace made up (will do one laters) Shocks, leccy install and some paint I spose is all thats left for now. Got a question though... Has anyone found a suitable source for 32 pitch pinions with 3.175mm bore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
