In the end I went for a 2445 sized motor as it meant the pinion fitted without drilling, and  I run it on 3s (well 1 x run which seemed fine temp wise).

It may be what i have to do go 2445 motor and a new 15T pinion, cheaper than getting an esc

Hi All,

I am upgrading my 124019 to brushless and would like to upgrade the spur and pinion for high speed runs. 

 

I have installed the 15 T Pinion Gear on the Racerstar 2445 3600kv Motor Senseless Brushless Waterproof installed the motor on the Motor Mount. But I don't think the stock plastic spur gear will last long with the 15T pinion metal gear and the stock plastic spur gear and 15T pinion gear seems to be slipping, I will open up to confirm. 

 

I am trying to follow the quadifyrc brushless upgrade. A couple of questions;

 

1. Is that correct to use the 15 T Pinion Gear on a Racerstar 2445 3600kv Motor Senseless Brushless Waterproof  with stock Spur for speed runs ?

2. Do I need to change the plastic spur gear to metal ?     

 

I am using this motor mount;

Ta da.....i now have a Mod 07 15T pinion with 3.2mm bore, having mucked up the first, i ordered a second, and put a 3.2mm drill in with it in coat pocket, today i called at a local company and cheeky me got a chap to put it in a lathe and run drill through bore to size, so now i can get on and fit brushless set up

For the money I think you can’t go wrong 👍

I love the rooster tail on the tires, I can't remember seeing anything that good. My Granite can kick up five foot rooster tails, but I can't control the car when it gets past speeds of 30 mph, I think is might be because my back tires are misaligned, I would fix the problem now, but I want to install all the parts at the same time, so I am beating the hell out of it.

Just yesterday I nose dived when I jumped my truck and landed on the front bumper, There is no front bumper anymore though, weight reduction!!!!

See, you got to think positive.😄

me and the boy took our 144001s out this afternoon. hard to find anywhere that wasn't plagued by dog walkers, so we ended up in the corner of a small, gravelly car park.

 

they started off looking new, and after ten minutes in gravel they looked like they'd seen years of abuse. fun, tho! 😁

i dunno.. every video I've seen of them have either been in normal car parks or being bashed in a skate park, so i wasn't sure where we should take them. 😛

 

turns out my son managed to damage his, somehow, even tho i was the one crashing and rolling all the time..

Does anyone know where to buy front shocks for a 144001 (part #1939)? 

 

All I can find are the rear shocks (part #1316), which I suppose might work with a spacer on the plunger thingy.  I tried buying rear shocks from ebay, which claimed to be genuine and had the right photo, but they sent cheap versions, so now I don't know who to trust.  😕

I saw those, but they're for the 104001 - they're 85mm long.  The 144001 front shocks are about 73mm.

 

I've been looking at the other models, and I'm tempted to try the front shocks of a 124018, which are 72mm.  1mm can't make much difference, can it?

 

edit: ordered the 124018 shocks.  I'll let you know if they work out in a month or so.  😛

@voorsk Ah, yes, right you are. Sorry about that mate, wasn't paying enough attention obviously 😛

 

Yeah i'm sure the 124018 shocks will work fine, the 1mm difference won't be noticable at all. & haha well hopefully a bit less than a month! The last order I made on Banggood arrived in 8 days so I think they're a bit better these days

I have a 124016 and have a bit of an issue that I am struggling to resolve.  I have bent one of the front pins that connect the swing arm to the chassis but the part isn't the same as the manual, it seems to be a screw with a pin that has a bolt the other side and I cannot find the part to replace it anywhere?  I bought a complete upgrade kit and even in that I don't seem to have anything that would replace this bit.

 

Does anyone have any advice that may help me?
