That should work good

pistol974 · 01-05-2012, 11:23 AM

Headed out Sunday if anyone is interested.

holycaveman · 01-05-2012, 11:45 AM

If it warms up I'm in.

Cold weather = very short run times with liposuction.

pistol974 · 01-05-2012, 12:51 PM

Lipos work fine. Your Silvercan motor with 2 2100 mah batts will never get you through a full run through echo

Ha,ha. Actually they are 1800s. And one battery got me half way.. However in cold weather count on 50% or less battery life. Now I wish I had an old nimh laying around.

pistol974 · 01-05-2012, 10:19 PM

50%

Maybe 30 at tops. I use 2 1800 and make it all day + some. That silver can on 2s is killing you. I have a 2s 2100 that you can use too if you want.

Yea you're probably right on the silver can. I am still going to try and make it Sunday.

Its supposed to be decent out. No worries

pistol974 · 01-07-2012, 08:03 AM

Who's gonna make it tomorrow?

This resembles some parts of Glen Echo.

Count me in. 1230? I will be running my 1.55 flat irons.

mini freak · 01-07-2012, 10:59 AM

im in, moving my battery up front and now weighting my rear tires down more

pistol974 · 01-07-2012, 11:56 AM

12:30 is good.
Eeepee should make it out

pistol974 · 01-08-2012, 07:13 PM

Good run

mini freak · 01-09-2012, 01:54 PM

me and my dad are having some issues, his tranny is real chopy when you turn it but there is nothing wrong, he even took the spur off and spun the shaft.

i took the 2075 and put metal gears in it and the work and turn great but it is pretty loud when you turn it, then i put the xl-5 in it and siliconed up the reciever box and that works. next on my list is to put 35 weight in all the shocks and put grease and grease holes in the axles and tranny like they do with the losi comp crawler.

pistol974 · 01-09-2012, 02:00 PM

Did you take it apart? The middle gear strips first usually.
Are the driveshafts still hooked up?
Nice repair on the trail too

mini freak · 01-09-2012, 06:00 PM

everything was fine inside, no stripped gears or nothing

bart · 01-11-2012, 05:38 PM

OK maybe one of you can help me out i have the vxl in my top truck. on 2s it runs fine if i run 3s and put a small load on it it gos to Lowe voltage mode and stops running. and i am running a 68t spure and a 10t pinon

pistol974 · 01-11-2012, 06:04 PM

Gabe had same problem on his wraith. On 3s you need a bec if you have a decent servo on it.

EeePee · 01-11-2012, 06:09 PM

My Slash and VXL system would do that with a MaxAmps lipo when it was cold outside. The cold lipo would voltage sag and trip the low voltage for 3S. The VXL can suck down 100 amp bursts, so the battery has to be extra beefy when it's cold outside.

bart · 01-11-2012, 06:29 PM

this dos it in side the 3s is a 5000 and 45c and that pack runs my slash fine
