| Another Newb. Build
I've stood in the dark looking in the window for a while now. Figured I better join the fun. Not new to RC but new to crawlers/scale. Used to be a jabrone working at the local hobby shop. I served (2) 9-mos terms at Hobbytown USA. In my arsonal currently: a Blade CX2, RC18T w/11.1v and brussless, and now the TLT What I got: TLT chassis and axles 2.2 rims w/ MOABS Integy 55T LRP speedo (soon to be replaced, pulled it off a retired Rustler) 18/83 gearing on Stock tranny Junfac Links and the mandatory Bronco body. Here are some action shots and flex shots. Last edited by trussman; 05-04-2007 at 09:01 AM. |

He wont like it after about three batt packs that thing will start to slip like no other now I dont know if ur into scale or not but look for a better chassis that wil suit your needs ie One that used a traxxas stampede tranny or t3 t4 type tranny it will work a lot better and serch around a bit and find what you like and dont like just my two pennies |

i've run 7-8 packs. I haven't noticed any slippage yet. But it's a belt, so it's gonna happen. I am also working out minor kinks still. Problems I've resolved torque twist motor stalling crappy steering binding links Would a weak speedo kill my run time. It's a LRP F1. I researched today and found it's rated 16-36 turns. It's getting slightly warm after a pack. I get roughly 10-12 min of run time. On my charger it says my pack is charging to 8.1 to 8.4 volts. Then after I run till the truck wont run it reads 7.2 to 7.3 volts. |

do you have part numbers on your tranny gearing 18/90 ? ?? did you mod the motor mount or does the motor slide enough to engage the gears ? ? ?? |

I was incorrect. I assumed it was 90. I thought I had seen that number somewhere. I did some homework and found the stock spur is 83. So I am running 18/83. |

It's from Robinson Racing. www.robinsonracing.com they carried them at the LHS. And I have the motor set as far as it will go. I don't have a part number because it was an extra part floating around in my box. It makes an awful noise agian the stock spur.

i run a 55t and run 48 pitch gears somewhere near a 90t spur and a 12 tooth pinion for now looking for lower cause it still stalls in some places |

I planned on shopping the LHS for a new spur to solve the noise problem. Chivas72 I'll let you know what I find when I do.

I found the Associated spur (asc6695) bolts right up. It's an 87t so I had to jump to a 22t pinion to keep from modifiying the motor mount. I will find out during my lunch if stalling comes back.

It was a lot peppier. It stalled once, but all in all it held up real good. Using gears with the same pitch helped a little with my run time.

don't get me wrong 83/24 is very peppy but just doesn;t cut it for crawling it's mising alot of the low end torque
