Bushmonkey Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Evening all. So, I've just treated myself to my 1st basher (Kyosho Scorpion XXL Kit) and decided to go Electric route. Never had a brushless motor (only brushed and nitro engine) so need some pro tips from the pros ;). Right now I'm thinking of a motor that could hit 60/70mph like the one in the arma infraction. Also looking at 4s/6s. Unless that's too much for a 2wd, please tell me lol. Not looking for serious racing, building a fun car I know bits about kv ratings etc but I dont understand why 1 motor with same kv is twice the price of another with same kv Cheers guys!!

Tug Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Er....... you'll need to sort the diff first, the stocker is pap. The only fix I know of is a CEN Colossus diff that requires some skillful modding to make it fit. Once done, you're good to go. I'd recommend 2000 to 2200. 4S will be OK, 5S fun, 6S a blast that requires restraint. Diff must be addressed first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushmonkey Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Ok, when you say skillful modding, do you mean something super difficult or simple but common sense is required? Edited June 19, 2020 by Bushmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Milling down the outer lip of the diff cup, I couldn't do it. Sort that, you're good to go. Not really what I'd class as a big air machine, but a very engaging drive nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmonkey Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 I get it now, just watched a french guy on youtube, seems simple enough, I have a dremel, but there may be a chance I can just stick on on a lathe. Do I need the whole CEN diff or just that 1 part?? Or you can just post a link to what I need 😅 not too good at finding stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 You'll want the internals too, those are the bits that break just by looking it them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great, but with the esc cabled like that, I would have to use 2 lipos every time right?? I wouldn't be able to use a battry on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Solder on the connector of your choice. I use 5.5mm bullets, then I can use single or twin packs whenever I need to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
