Broke

Well you can give the stock motors an E for effort. This is the front left riding on weighted Flat Irons & 8shooters. More pics of the CC to come when I get the new axle, which BTW is warrantied. to Duratrax.

nice work, you REALLY twisted that all to hell. any time you can break somthing means a new order of parts.

And to think I just bought 2 454's From John at HH Well it has inspired me to build something crazy with the stock motors, Maybe a duel motor shafty We will see

When I get the front end together and install the 454's I will let you know how they work. The thing that is scaring me, if my stock front motor twisted an axle what will the new motors do?

I still look at it this way, It is still cheaper then running a 1:1.

I am looking into modifying some axles.

done that

Funny the steel tore in 4 ribbons like that as it twisted.
Bet it had a flaw to begin with.

Are you running steel gears?
How many cells?

Actually I have twisted axles on my 1:1 and the break looks very similar to this one. I kinda hope it was a flaw as now I will be running Cobalt's.
I am running all steel gears and outputs, 11.1 3cell lipo with a Mamba Max
I will post up pics and the build as soon as the front end is back together.

cool cant wait to see this animal. i am going to try to run the stock vendetta motors an a cheep 454 theu are 12 bucks an should let me jump off stuff like the say you can with the 454. i will just have to contrill the finger on the wheel speed

[gigercreeper]

that sure gives me some confidence wth these things. is there a direction to these motors? ive notice they seem to have more pop in reverse than forward.

[randy1]

i cant say that . but in most speedos that is the case

o i was thinking of awitching the motors front to rear. but i still need to wire them in series first and see wat happens

What I think you are experiencing is clod stall, Do you have the front weighted any? This will help out a lot.

Tried crawling with 3 axles today with the new motors, and well destruction was on all 4 corners. The drivers side twisted and snapped like the passenger side, so I pulled the rears to take a look and they were twisted almost 15 degrees, so I am assuming they were ready to break.

I just ordered 2 sets of CVDs, part number DTXC7292. They look a bit more beefy. They are on back order so for now I will call the warranty department and have them send me another set of dog bones

Wholly cr*p she'll be a rock racer (rock rocket)!

Think this $100 drivetrane can handle all that?

Nice thing about the Mamba is I can tame it down, but I use a stick controller and it was touchy, Have you seen the CVDs 43 bucks for 2 sets, but today I called warranty and they had no problem sending me more dogbones.

i have 4 cells on the servo. i also tried these motors in series and that had a horrible effects. so i put it back. i trimmed my stock tires a little and there is less slippage in the front.
