r2d what do ya think

[rocksrock]

Well I think I fryed my novak rooster and 18.5 motor (puff of smoke out of the esc) I'm not happy. ($200 down the drain). Anyway I was thinking of putting a r2d in with a 45t. What do you guys think? If it works ill put in a r2dd.

It's the worm drives that are adding the strain on the power plant, not the tranny. That tranny dig setup is amazing, don't go back in time. ;) You would be better off putting Axial axles on your rig to achieve what I think it is you are trying to do???

The r2d is a very low geared tranny, if you put that with the losi's 15:1 axle you will need a castle 9000kv moor and a 6 cell lipo to see it move with out using time lapse photography.:lol:

It was just a thought. I don't know what to do its not like I can just go out and buy a brushless system every time it frys. I should have spent my money on a burg.

You can send your ESC to Novak and they will give you a new one for $50. So at least it's not a total loss.

I can see this becoming someones quote!:ror:

imo i like the losi trany since you only need one link to set it up and it doesnt need a strong servo. the r2d2 is way to much of a pain to even set up. i run a r2d in my tlt and a 645 still cant get it to shift most of the time when the back tires are in a bind

:roll:

The underlying theme of this thread is the strain this drivetrain puts on electronics. A berg doesn't even compare. Again, :roll:

[rocksrock]

I'm not putting the r2d in. I talked to rich losi today and I'm sending it in so they can see what the problem is.

Ya, and the "underlying theme" of my statement was "it can happen to a Berg Too" :roll:
