Redback Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 2wd that might explain why it was so hard to keep an a straight line @Jack Reacher Assuming it was a loose grub on the front drive cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, it was the rear drive cup. It would certainly explain @Jack Reacher's issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Savage was notorious for it when it was nitro, not such an issue now that it's brushless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post everclear1984 Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Well what can I say.... absolutely blown away by this little thing. First little shakedown run and already surpassed what I expected to hit without messing with gearing, etc. This was at approximately half to three quarter throttle on the stock tyres, with a dodgy motor and very limited space to run! There is video footage to go with the pictures, but it ended with a rather nasty crash so I'm reluctant to post it 😅 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) The 44t spur arrived, I didn’t realise it was mod1 so was a bit larger than the stock gear.Spent a couple of hours messing about with it but it was just to big for the centre brace . Bit disappointing especially as it went in perfect and I’d spent nearly an hour extending the motor mount holes to accept bigger pinions. I have another smaller gear to try as soon as I’ve had something to eat . stock gear on the left Edited March 13, 2021 by tomr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean with the gear in place you couldn't fit the centre brace, ...too wide or tall or both? Just wondering could you not just use some stand off spacers to lift the centre brace upwards? When building my 1/12th speed runner I've had to use a lot of spacers in various places to lift parts upwards to give me more space primarily for my 3S battery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good idea, thanks bud I’ll keep that in mind for anymore problems like that 👍 The plan was to start this project nice and steady but as usual with me I’ve gone in full steam . The Strada is now fitted with a Mod1 27t spur and 23t pinion with enough room for bigger pinions Anyone have any idea what speed I’m likely to hit with that gearing ? Ive got it back together and ready to sort the aerodynamics out tomorrow,not sure what I’ll do with it but I’ll come up with something. Its running a130a esc with a 3300kv 3660 Edited March 13, 2021 by tomr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its running a130a esc with a 3300kv 3660 I was going to do it for you but I'd need to know what cell Lipo you're using as well as what diameter of tyres you're running so instead of going back and forth I'll just give you the link below with the other info you'll need to know (about your diff gears). Just input all the info on this RC Calculator for a rough estimate of what your top speed may potentially be. Link: https://www.radiocontrolinfo.com/information/rc-calculators/rc-car-calculator/ FYI from what I have found your diff pinion should be a 13T (unless you've changed it): https://www.modelsport.co.uk/maverick-differential-drive-pinion-13t-all-strada-and-evo-/rc-car-products/38568 ...and your diff spur gear should be a 38T (again unless you've changed it): https://www.modelsport.co.uk/maverick-differential-main-gear-38t-all-strada-and-evo-/rc-car-products/38567 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Wow thats geared to the moon! almost 1.1 Should be getting up in the 80s as your gearing is similar to mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash looks like it was nasty, never a first speed run with out some form of crash or mishap! Is your first goal 50 or 70? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! Well done! Crash looks like it was nasty, never a first speed run with out some form of crash or mishap! Is your first goal 50 or 70? I was hoping to hit 50mph before any modifications. I thought I'd have to mess with gearing to get there but I think with enough space I'm already there. The weather is set to improve next week and I have an idea of where I can run it flat out so fingers crossed! The damage from the crash was minimal. The shell already had a few war wounds, a couple more won't hurt 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess @Redback is right with the possibility of getting into the 80's on 3S give or take but nothing wrong with shooting for over a ton. 😎 The RC Calculator is great for giving you a rough idea ~ it is very rough though as there are lots of variables it doesn't take into account like weight, vehicle drag, aero etc. Still interesting though and useful to see the difference gearing, lipo cell, motor KV etc can make. 3 hours ago, tomr said: I can’t find anything with the correct width and wheelbase except the stock stuff Have you looked at Delta Plastik body shells?
