.AJ. Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 It was listed for a UDR, but I took a punt, all Summit ones came in pairs at rip off prices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Anyway back on topic….. The Dewalt motor arrived, i soon had the pinion off and had the can opened for inspection The rotor is even a 5 slot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I guess 5 slot is good? Not heard of “slots” before? How many slots is the Titan 775? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Just been googling, these are what Kershaw sold as an upgrade arent they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yeah, 5 slot motors are smoother, all the HH Crawlmaster motors are 5 slots, I’m guessing the 775 is 3 slot like a normal silver can. Kershaw just prepped the motors so they bolted straight in with a suitable motor mount and a flat ground onto the motor shaft for the pinion 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) @.AJ. hi mate Are you using the Traxxas wireless link in this or was it the TRX4 ? Is it any good ? Really like how the Summits turning out tho Edited April 16, 2022 by Stormbringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 It’s in this now. It’s makes setting up the electronics so much easier and with some Traxxas models you can use it as a light controller and telemetry 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted April 16, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2022 So this has happened Picked up a bargain MMX off FB, ive quickly wired it and set it up as a brushed ESC, the big plus now is that I’ve fitted my HH SHV800 servo and I can direct wire it to 4s, which I couldn’t do with the stock EVX2 esc Im going to pick up a Rx Y lead next week and then I’ll be able to use the Rockracer/crawler Aux mode on the ESC, the plan is to put the diff lock servos together on one channel, so the 3 way switch will end up working like this Position 1 - Diffs open, Forward/brake/reverse, ie. normal mode Position 2 - Diffs open, Forward/reverse with drag brake and brake ramp Position 3 - Diffs locked, Forward/reverse with drag brake and brake ramp, ie. full crawler mode Ohh and I’ve now got a set of Trencher X’s 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Really cool mate Are you using the wireless link to set that up ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I shouldn’t need to, it all depends what way the channel I’m using the Aux on esc switch’s, I may have to reverse it, but until I get it all connected up I won’t really know 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 The broken part Snapped in between the pin holes Seems this is a rare part to break and normally the plastic driveshafts would let go first 🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m putting down as a faulty part and will just get a stock replacement 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thought I better check that nothing else was broken before ordering parts Everything else looks fine, but in the time it took to strip the truck the part went oos at Modelsport, so I’ve now had to backorder the part….

Tug Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I went BL with mine, it did wake it up, but definitely detracted from its charm. And the brushed system has such a unique sound, I missed that most. I'm sure you're aware, but you will have more breakages with BL. The diffs, the CVDs, the weak-as-a-kitten wishbones. I fitted those Centre shafts to my ERBE, the rear shaft wore out very quickly. I went back to stock plastic and haven't had to touch it since. What voltage are you running? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I'd like to hear your thoughts on 5S with either the stock motor or the Dewalt. That's something I wish I'd tried with mine. I love the look and sound of the big Trencher X boots, but they also add stress to the drive-train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
