so i finally got my kit in today

not going to bore you with pics until its painted, but i have a few questions, when im building the axles can i pack them full of marine grade grease or do what the directions said?

Butcherinhd · 06-07-2011, 06:03 PM

I didnt buy a kit i got the rtr but i vote pack them sumbitches full. you will be glad you did when you pullum apart to clean um.

you can if you run in lots of water, and it would protect them well, i didnt because i dont run in lots of water and its a mess.

minnesotamudder · 06-07-2011, 07:17 PM

well i packed them full

never know what im going to find(DEEP MUD)

(well here comes the radio shack box sealed with silicone

)

Be careful with overpacking the grease, it can rob power. The thicker marine grease made mine a lot slower when I had it packed full. All you need us a good coating if all the moving parts.

so i still have to decide what combo to get for a motor and speed control, i know im going to get a waterproff brxl, but im not sure what motor combo to go with. I was thinking of the 10t puller combo, but then i would have to upgrade the drive shafts, but would i have to upgrade anything else?
i also was considering the sport combo, but how long will the motor last?

tekin FXR with the 35t motor

I am running a scx10 with a 10t and a lot of stock parts. Actually driveshafts have held up too, about 5 big battery packs run. However I adjusted my clutch a lot, I worry that a bind would break stuff quick

I will tighten it up when I install my steel gears and whatnot...

2500hdon37s · 06-08-2011, 02:48 PM

i am running a BRXL and a tourqe master pro 30t and its a great mix of tourqe and wheel speed!

a 10t would have a lotta low end balls for an scx-10 an yes the drive shafts would go bye bye if you go it bound up.

ok so hows the wheelspeed with a 2s in it?
so if i got mip drive shafts would that be all i need?
(thats with the 10t)
is the 35t sport motor any good?
if i were to buy the pro i just would rather spend the extra $10 to go with a puller combo and upgrade as stuff breaks.

with a 2s and a 20t pinion and stock spur it runs a very fast walk to slow jog at WOT, and tourqe wise its snapped cv pins, and put a nice twist in the plastic shafts before i swapped to MIP's.

either way I would get MIP shafts and not worry, but the 10t is just a monster for this rig, I find the 30t to be the perfect all around motor on 2s for trails, rocks, and when I have got in a little mud. any more wheel speed would just get me into trouble, and any more tourqe I think the tranny out drives would be next.

here is my pile of broken things as a result of having this 30t

(kunckles and C's went when the cv pins bent/ broke)

of course i do have a 10t puller sitting here not in use, if you would like me to try it......

minnesotamudder · 06-08-2011, 09:07 PM

if you got express from HH you would more than likely have it by then, but if just reg. shipping probaly early next week.

I think I might just see how the 10t does in mine tomorrow if i get some time just for S&G's!

as for the 55t, it will be slooooooooowwww but still get ya by!

minnesotamudder · 06-08-2011, 09:32 PM

ok so stock gearing will work for the 55t if i dont get a 10t puller by then?

yup, just gonna be slow, but if you have a tall pinion (like a 23 or 24t) i would put that on to get a little wheel speed out of it.

minnesotamudder · 06-08-2011, 09:57 PM

ok so is that a 48p 23t pinon right?
thanks for the help
