I got lathe motor installed. It's awesome, endless torque when combined w/ reduction. Run time is killer. I bought some black HPI shock springs that are stiffer than the stock Hot Bodies springs, I put one in the right rear corner only. Eliminated a little more body roll, especially when combined w/ lower rpm of new motor. A couple pics from today. Last edited by BENDER; 02-05-2005 at 01:12 AM. | |

Man, I love the way this truck looks. Bender, did you change the gearing after installing the lathe motor? I see in your sig that you're still at 129:1...how's the wheel speed? The reason I ask is 'cause the Scorp is running ~158:1 and it's SLOW. If it were on any other truck there's no way I'd run this gearing with the lathe motor but since I don't plan on getting to crazy with the Scorp I figure I'll leave it as is. |

About a year and a half ago, before this site, a bunch of guys tried to arrange a get together out there. They talked with the people that run the place.....and the event went to hell, as they would not allow us in with our trucks. I think what we'd have to do is......just all go out there and run our rigs for as long as we can...until we get kicked out.

emaxxjeremy it made a HUGE difference all the wheel speed I could ever need. EeePee I don't have digital camera, there are a couple short clips of it here on page 2, PWT's posted a video. RCCrawler Raffle pictures and video thread Last edited by BENDER; 02-10-2005 at 03:44 AM. |

Thanks slbks5. Ya, I did it's sweet the torque is awesome and run times are looooooooong. It's super slow but I'm digging it for now. I need to re-gear it to 85:1 from 129:1, I think that'll be a decent all around ratio. | |
