High times!

OK, I give up...I think the stock clod chassis has potential to be modded to make a good crawler. I just dont think enough people have put in enough effort. I dont think it will be competition worthy, like the TXT chassis can be, but for a trail rig I bet you could do ok with it.

hey i just took another test drive i put on some 9 tooth pinions too beforei had 10's i can see a diffrent though,i think im going to get somelathe motor also how do magnetic mayhems compare to the lathes motor "i heard it through the grape vine"that MM were kinda like a v8 and the lathes are like a desole motor is this sound about right

skyjacker_rc_club · 11-24-2004, 06:27 PM

Im running lathe motors with 13 tooth pinions and it works great. I cant speak for the MM because ive never ran.

The stock Clod plastic tub is crap... If you want a cheap plastic tub that flexes like a limp noodle then run the stock Clod plastic tub

The stock TXT chassis can be used and modded because it's solid and sound(aluminum vs. plastic).

bustedcrawler · 11-24-2004, 08:22 PM

What is a desole engine? Is that like a desiel or maybe the motor outta a Del Sol? I am confused about this one....

bigred · 11-25-2004, 12:07 AM

ya i wanna put a del sol motor in it dont you think it would be cool sorry for the typo

EeePee · 11-25-2004, 11:12 AM

Mag May isn't too bad, it seems to need to spin faster than a stock 540 to work as well, torque wise.
Besides it's only $20.

Oh wait, you need two!

Also, I was the one who reffered MMs to V8s and lathe motors to Diesel motors...

Lathe motors are low RPM, crazy high torque, and use less juice. Just like a diesel motor.

MMs are high torque, high HP, and average RPM motors that use way more juice than a lathe (diesel) motor.

Lathe motors are insanely efficient. I can hook up a computer fan to the motor leads, spin the motor, and it will spin the fan 8O
