deko13 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have just put a 60a 8.5t brushless into my strada xb that has been converted to 2wd......it has now turned out to be a torque hooligan & has wrecked the tyres in 2 days. prob doing 40ish but will do more when i change gearing. have to go back to 4wd to get best from torque as it just spins like a maniac..........(great fun tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratmast3r Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Will the same brushless system fit a strada MT? Should i put a 14t pinion with 64t spur or 16t pinion with 64 spur? Will it run cool or overheat? Does it strip gears? Will the HSP 70A ESC with 3300kv motor fit? I'll send links soon... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danharrison Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 i have a strada xb with the same system in mine if fully upgraded and yes they are very fast and has supprisingly good handling they don't come with bearings all round (none in the hubs) the diffs have lasted over 50hours of run time and are still in as good condition as when i got it (over a year ago now) although the diff cases, drive cups, drive shafts, spur and pinion, have to be replaced now and again. and the shock towers are made out of cheese. yes the ezrun combo will fit in the mt. it only strips gears if you leave the spur/pinion uncovered (i have made a cover for them) obviously they will go eventually as they are plastic/brass it runs cool if you gear it right i run 20 tooth pinion 64 tooth spur. that works good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you running a 8.5t 60a? What did you make the cover out of??? (why does covering it affect the stripping?) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(why does covering it affect the stripping?) Thanks! yeah its the 8.5t 60a. i made the cover out of some bits of plastic gluegunned together i have to completely re glue it everytime i need to change the gears but i have got quite efficient at it now. you will find that the gears are situated right where all the dirt/dust gathers its a bit of a bad design really. another mod i have done to combat this is fit a mastersmaker shell as it hugs the chassis tightly then i have put velcro securing the shell to the chassis.
