Default Dtrex77 Found some time

Hey guys, finally found some time between moving, building my bike and working 60 hours a week to finish my up my rig. 1/8 scale new bright jeep jk body.





After running it today. I have found that the motor is binding up on me and losing power (stock AE2 and axial 55T. and had to use a bec for the new savox servo) Idk if thats because my trans is fully locked or if it is just too much weight or something. Any input or advice/opinions im all ears.

Looks sweet.

The stock axial 55t motors are weak sauce. Thats probably why you're losing power in a bind. Ill bet thats a pretty heavy rig too. Check out Holmes Hobbies for a better motor Like a 35t Torque master. You might also need to gear down some.

Looking forward to seeing you out on the rocks.

Yea its not a light rig at all. and I was either looking at the Holmes Hobbies or the Tekin FXR. I dont wanna go brushless cuz ill prob start breaking stuff all over the place. but i ended up finding out what my binding problem was. screws on the output shaft backed off and dug into the trans case... so I have parts on the way now. and i planned on trying to go may 19 to bedford
