simon burrows Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 i was only using 3s and 4s there a pain my bro shed is full of them there about 25 if not more all alloy. and he does not use them, spent too much money on them as he does not have kids. and money to burn they just cost too much in hop ups etc and and parts . why did you not get a electric rtr instead of a nitro its going to cost you more doing that way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman1027 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 19 inch theres a conversion you can do to a standard savvy gearbox to remove the OWB to allow for breaking via the motor and a single speed for the torque - here ya go hope it helps mate and good luck with the project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr6fs Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Can't wait to see the results. Gotta say i really enjoy reading your threads as you tend to document builds really well, but in re-engineering a car into Elec really sparks me interest so i'll be watching closely for updates. Didn't really look into your servo spec's, but for under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Well I had to do the Gearbox mod myself the other day. This is how it all starts. Then remove the 1st and 2nd gear set. Then disassemble the gear set. Remove the one way first gear spur. Then you have to fill the 2nd gear engaging mechanism(That's what I'm calling it anyway) with JB Weld, I don't know if you can get that over the counter here, But it's what they seem to use in the US. I did try Araldite which worked for about to packs, But this time I'm using Unibond Just make shore that the arm that engages the 2nd gear is engaged before applying the weld, This way the weld is only really being used when you apply the brakes. Then just stick it back together. Of course, You could just get the Flux conversion gear, But were is the fun in that, And as I mentioned in a pass thread, Just watch that Speed Passion Conversion Kit, Looks a bit pants really, But I should come across and sort out any problems by the time you get this far.

Tug Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Have a good holiday, not too much time in the gym though! Then it's back to truck building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 im having the rest of the month off, no training, no dieting, no nothing, Back on it June in a new gym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Small update for future reference, That crap Unibond stuff don't work, Looks like that apart from putting a real spot weld on it, It will have to be the Flux lay shaft, Still, It's only another tenner.

Kpowell911 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 why do i need to this again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 How many times have I asked myself that, And still never come up with an answer that stopped me doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 why do i need to this again? You're an addict, you need help. Just send all your trucks to me and go back to the gym. Seriously though, there's nothing more satisfying than fixing these problems, hence why I bothered to fix up my old 3906 E-Maxx. That 1900 motor by the way, is looking like a damn good balance between acceleration and top speed, perfect for bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Lol cant i just have a 2 speed brushless? To be honest, I never realised I had to lock the box until I used it, And had no brakes or reverse, Which is why I tried to lock rather than buying and waiting for the proper bit to turn up.
