Jason, give me the dimensions and how wide you want the hump and I could do one at our Hot Rod shop...We have a machine that puts nice beads in flat steal or aluminum...I think it goes up to 1'' wide...

eric, I'm running 82053 on Ralph, Dad is running 82063 on his.

I was running the 63s on Ralph with the TLT axles but wanted to run the 53s to bring the width down so he'd fit on the trailer.

I put my old 63s and All-Ts on Dad's truck.

K9, thanks, but I can make it if needed.

12 tooth pinion, 93 tooth spur.

Wheel speed is good but it seems the 450 is a tad too small for a 9lb rig.

There are times when it seems to not have enough bottom...like when the fronts are against a vertical face and you push the truck into and up the vertical.

Since we're running 3300s I'm guessing it's not the batteries. A larger stator size would probably help.

Yeah, I saw that it only a 890vk and thought it kinda on the low side for almost pig of rig. I take it you guys lathe'd down the shaft to fit a reg. pinion on ?? How many cells ?

Six cells are all that'll fit under the steering wheel.

This truck was light during the build but we added a good bit of steel and lead to keep it planted.

It'll creep through climbs that the comp rigs struggled with.

This past week has been a frantic build/drive/build/drive test and tune.

A larger outrunner will no doubt cure things. The motor stays cool to touch but seems to wimp out at times...even with gearing pushed as far as we could physically go.

ScG he has a brushless setup as it is.

I might order a larger motor for his truck, still debating which motor to use.

Dad is happy with it as is...plenty of truck for him.

Which? "My Hump" or MC Hammer's "Humps and a bump?"

Or is it Gravy?
