Re: I know its wrong, but if feels so right!!
 

Killer! Should haul ass "thumbsup"

Re: I know its wrong, but if feels so right!!
 

When I get home I'm in, took my porker to Florida with me and it is already on the table with the ass end ou of it:evil: Less than 5 minutes of chasing kids around. Oh well I knew this thing would be a bitch, stupid inner pinion bearings:flipoff: It will be up and going in another ten!!! Oh yah, looks bad ass:twisted:

almost look like it was made for those axles!

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

Those are Truggy wheels from my CEN Matrix Arena. And fun is on my horizon!"thumbsup"

Thank you Rick!! Your stuff is my inspiration!! I have not been this amped about a build in a long time!!

Thanks John! Got anything that might give this beast a boost??

Hope to have it running by next week sometime if I can get the front suspension and steering worked out by then.

thanx Farmer! Hows the Floriduh sunshine working out for ya??

Oh hey, I know a guy that will sell you a set of axles that will hold up to that motor!!;-):lmao:"thumbsup"

A said the same thing but I was thinking about narrowing the axles and going with the 10.5" wide setup, but wanted to try these wheels on it first, then BAM!!! that its it the stance is locked and loaded!! And all off the shelf parts!!

No real update! but got the driveshaft lengths worked out and cut just waiting on getting the drilled pinions done, mount the elects and get the y-harness made for the 6s setup!! Do I want 22.2vlt 2200mAh or do I want 11.1vlt with 4400mAh??

Or should I make one for each!!??!!?? Wha the hell?? The tranny will take it!! LOL:twisted::flipoff::twisted: Axles will takes it..

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

WTF, you are such a tease. What links are under it? Ti SuperShafty links.......I hope. I need to see this thing when I get home. Looks a little wide for what I want, but i know that's fixable"thumbsup" These Wraith axles are almost gonna be for sale if my next idea doesn't work.

Later,
Farmer

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

If you do sell the wraith axles let me know. Might want em if they are not too beat..:twisted::twisted:"thumbsup"

You do need these axles with motor.

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

What KV motah you running? I feel sorry for you Mich guys. Having Rick next door is gonna make you all broke as hell"thumbsup"

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

Looking awesome Lee!

Ha! He doesn't have to be next door...:twisted:

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

That my friend, is going to be running the Tekin T8 motor on the Tekin R8 esc being fed from a 6s lipo that will 2 y-harness' for more power or longer run time:twisted::twisted:"thumbsup"

Thanx britt, it will be a blast to run! And your right even saving on shipping I will still beat the hell out of the PayPal account!

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

Yes I saw that. What are the specs of that T8 horse? The reason I ask is if the KV is too high, like 1900 or up, 6S will be uncontrollable. 1700kv is even nuts for 6S.

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

Ah yes, well, it is 1900kv and plan to turn down the throttle curve so I can control it. It is a shame to have this power on tap and not use it all, I do intend on trying!


Small update, got the esc mounted under the hood And the receiver placed. Soldered the wires to the esc and to the motor but will have to cut in the bullet connectors. Drive lines are set With the drilled pinions and the pumpkins on the same side so the shafts are as straight as can be. Rick, the links do clear the shafts with room to spare! :flipoff: got the skid clearanced for the big assed motor. Everything rolls smoothly and true. Can wait to put power to this pig. Waiting on the vp cms kit so I can get the front suspension and steering finished.

That's all for now.

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

I know someone with some built to the hilt wraith axles for sale:lmao: Can't wait to see this piglet"thumbsup" Maybe with some luck I might have a little piglet for ECC:twisted:

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

super shafty tranny?

Re: I know its wrong, but it feels so right!!
 

I'm running the same setup in my BYB (1900KV RX8 On 6S)

And well...........You have seen the video :twisted:
I had to gear it down at the Pinion to a 17T
And I'm running 3.3:1 Axial Ratio Ring & Pinion
and now am getting 38MPH (much More Controllable) ;-)


I cant remember if you have the 4.3:1 or 3.3:1 ring & pinion axial setup
But.....
I will tell you if you have the 4.3:1 R & P setup like "Cordwood" has in his FOFF
Your in for around 53MPH using 6 inch Tires, a 21T pinion and the 56T RR Slipper :twisted:

Cant wait for ECC :flipoff:
