the ultimate crawler king.....

And a package in the mail today

heat sink motor plate and 87t spur

New parts installed

unfortunatly the spur gear is to small and had to use a 25t pinion to get it to mesh and that just wont work for a crawler, so ill be ordering the 93t spur and a much smaller pinion this week

I had the same problem with my new spur and had to modify the motor plate to move the motor further down.

I was wanting to use a 20t pinion nut it wouldnt mesh up, my motor plate is a good bit thicker that the stock one, i guess its cause of the heatsink??? I need to get an fan too

 

[lonleycreeper]

Fyi you can get a 96 t spur, and go down to a 14t pinion (with the stock motor mount).

 

[anthonyjlc]

I thought it was discontinued, ill see i i can get it still id like to have that one

 

[adamargue]

If u can get the larger spur from axial i would. Only 2 holes match up to bolt it to the mount but they seem to last longer then the hpi ones.

Got a link for it. How nany teeth is it??

Are you sure you need the heatsink and fan? I would expect a low geared powerwheels motor on 7.2 volts to run pretty cool. Is that not the case?

 

[anthonyjlc]

When i had it in my mini summit it ran pretty warm on 20/55 gearing, warmer than i like. So id rather keep it cool an have longer runtime

 

[adamargue]

I think you can get the scx spurs in a few sizes. You'd have to look them up.

Tower only has a 80t and 87t. Im using a 80 and i had to modify my heatsink. I would think a 87 would work better.

The stock hpi spur i have is 87t, ima see if my lhs can get 96t

i have a couple 96's i think, pm me if interested, they aren't doing me any good and would fit in a regular envelope, so it'd be the price of a stamp.

 

[anthonyjlc]

Ok great, pm'd

With you there. Always want my stuff to run quite cool too.

+100

 

[hank the crank]

Several manufacterers offer gearsin a 48 pitch. However, check out r2 trans in a ck. Gearing options are much better.

 

[anthonyjlc]

I may have to look at that,

Ok so heres an update for you guys, i finally got the body mounted and shocks are on order, i found some alum shocks on ebay for $8 a pair so i jumped on them, i also installed black light bezels in the front bumper for the new leds that i ordered

You can see the bezels and 2 led here

[anthonyjlc]
