Tomorrow I go to the rocks then I can give some input. I got 2 22 turn "select" motors ready but they are twice the weight. Quote:

Where is your weight coming from Mike? My rig is just under 5lbs RTR. I thought you would be somewhere around a tad over 4lbs....

My body/chassis is equal in weight to the stock body and chassis. So my electronics must be heavier than yours. 2-mambas 1-2200ma 3s lipo 1-Futaba RX | |

Got in some run time on rocks aside from a few adjustments on the gears it went ok. I decided to try some different motors. I hand wound 2 550 motors with 22 turns. Wheel speed is 440rpm with these and lots more torque. The extra weight on each axle is better too. I have 1 more set of 540 motors to test but I think these are the ones. |

The rear motor seems to do more work than the front so I tore it down just to see how my 550 wind is holding up. Looks like it's just fine. | |

Nice work on the CF body . That looks like it took a ton of work. Very cool rig.

The rig is still running and is a good solid setup. My only gripe is trying to keep a good gear mesh with the MOA gears. Noisy gears are amplified with a carbon body. Quote:
Thanks ctrwannabe, I have a lot of fun doing it. Quote:

I got something new to try. Using a 28t idler gear from the Associated stealth transmission I fitted the MOA with a little quieter gears and a little lower gear ratio. And to hold the gear to the shaft a nice little slipper. It is very smooth and quiet well see if it holds up. |

If it holds up to the power you should make at least 100 for the other MOA drivers. Nice job. Wish I could do that  |

I can flip my rig over both ways from a stop or walk a wheelie for about 4ft
Linear Mode
