Gear mesh seems fine. Maybe and esc short, but what would just cause it to burn out like that. ESC sending to much juice to the motor? I guess Ill have to borrow a stock esc and see what happens. Though I need anew motor now too:-(

Bob,
If you want to borrow the electrics out of the XJ lemme know

I am thinking maybe it is the ESC, maybe something to do with the drag brake?? If the mesh is good on the spur/pinion and there is no other bind in the drive train its gotta be I would think.

Thanks Mike. Yeah before I buy a new ESC I would like to try one out so Ill definitely borrow yours. I have yet ANOTHER motor coming from a member here...

We shall see...

OK a small update. Until I get a new esc, I have just been tinkering with this one. Not much free time these days but I did install the wheel wideners. I also plan on finishing off the rear (wheel wells and rear interior).

A few pics with the new wider stance. The 2 minutes I wheeled it before I burned out the motor, it handles much better. A LOT LESS rolling over.

Zuk90 · 06-28-2009, 08:01 PM

Wow!!!! Looks sooooo awsome with those wheel wideners!!!

......where did you get them??? Thanks

I got them from The Crawler Store. 12mm wideners.

Thanks!!!

eddievedder · 09-13-2009, 06:11 PM

Well I am so glad that I didnt sell this Sammy. I wheeled it today with 1badjeepbruiser and his sammy. Since the last time I used it I had some esc/motor issues. The old esc was going haywire and burning out my motors. Well now with the new esc and a Holmes Hobbies torquemaster mini motor (SCREAMS!!) this rig was back in action and pretty much unstoppable!

Unfortunately I didnt get any action pics but I got 2 of the Sammy's side by side.

More wheelin hopefully tomorrow and some action pics.

ps. Mike if you have and good shots feel free to post.

INFERNAL · 09-16-2009, 01:01 AM

VERY NICE !

eddievedder · 09-27-2009, 02:35 PM

Thanks guys. The old rear bumper kept getting caught up so I swapped it out for this more simple one.

It came in bare aluminum but I painted it flat black

bigdodge88 · 09-28-2009, 06:36 AM

The new bumper is a nice touch. Where did you get it?

Thanks. Good luck with your Sammy. No I didnt shorten in at all.

Check out this build if you have not already. I used a different chassis all together. Just another option for ya.

Simple Samurai K2 .5 style!
