AREA 51RC "Project Chaotic "Switch" XR10"

[hotbodies racer]

i have been watching your build, and i really like the switch chassis, but with funds kinda low ill just stick with my bjv4 for a while. but something i did a while ago with the stock shocks to limit them is i put the inner springs (i cut them in half ) out of some creeper shocks i had laying around in under the piston and i think for what i drive on it works good. it gives you the droop for sidehills and the clearance when you need it. and that climb was pretty cool to.

Thanks for the input... The Chaotic "Switch" chassis is definetely a performer... aa far as my suspension setup, im happy with how its workin for me at this current time... Here are a couple of vids showing the rig hard at work...sorry the first video is blurry..

good job man

Thanks guys... I've never been to the nats so not sure if that was an impressive gate.?or just a typical gate at the nats in comparison.... I try to practice on climbs that seem impossible... Alot of you boyz have been to the nats... what should i be practicing on so i can play with the big boyz?

This is gate 5 course 5. . I use this gate to test suspension tuning...If my shocks are not upto par this gate will let me know by throwing the truck into my fire pit...

If your going for the weight savings then they are worth every penny including the shipping. I love mine and still get gitty when I pull the trigger.


If your not to concerned about the weight but still want the power you could save a little $$ and get something else from Eddie. Im sure if you PM Eddie he could hook ya up with something good.

The endbells and armatures are interchangeable between motors - the 'Vapor' part is the turned down can and some other light weight goodies.

Thanks for the input Robbob... I'm definetely interseted in the lighter weight as well as performance... What turn motor are you runnin and how is the torque/wheelspeed balance for the internal motor setup you chose?

[slowride1]

30 turn holmes

[winnerone23]

I like my 45t HH pro.. but seeing a lot of guys in 30-35t motors, I may have to check that out at some point..

Slowride, what size pinion do you use with a 30t HH?

[paystin]

Looking good man. Don't know anything about the Brood motors so no help there. I have been running Holmes motors for the past three years and love them.

[D19er]

Thanks guys.. looks like i have some homework to do... Thanks Paystin...what pinions are you using with them Holmes motors?

[slowride1]

stock 14 for me

[slowride1]

30 scued is what i run from hh with a 14 an man o man i like it

[D19er]

Thanks slowride... whats your torque, wheelspeed balance like with that setup?

[slowride1]

these are the best motors i have run so far . they will break shit but it will creep as well as wheelie lol. very good balance is all i can say

[slowride1]

im not knockin broods but i just sold a pair if that tells you how happy i am the the hh motors . my others are a set of 40 hh an thats what i ran at the natts because i didnt have the 30 turns yet but i did have the broods. eddieo makes good motors but john has been very good to me an i like his stuff

[paystin]

I have two sets. Crawlmaster 16t with 14 pinion front and rear. I also run 35t torque masters with 14t pinion for both. I used to run one less tooth pinion in the rear but I actually find I get a little less clod stall with the same tooth pinions. I'm no expert when it comes to this stuff though so maybe someone else can explain that better.

[slowride1]

when you run 1 esc an a punc or switchs it very comon to see one less tooth in the rear to help with the stall. now that most of us run 2 escs you can do the with the other esc by just bumping it alil to the fron side an it pulls so we now run the same front an rear. i have hard of a few guys still one one less in the rear but for me i run the same
