Seems to me that when you ran the calculator, your balloon factor was a little low - I'd plan on .5 to .75 with those tires.
Someone else correct me if I'm wrong, but his numbers showed about 36K rpm. I try to hit the low to mid 40's for rpms. Your right - trucks are meant to have big tires. Go have fun with it, quit worrying about everything you read. You'll find that 90% of internet posters are the one that are having a problem. The vast majority - those who dont have issues - dont bother to come on forums and read/post/learn. You've started to ask the right questions, and by using the caluculator, your now one more step further in understanding the parameters involved in making these things work, and, as we've all experienced, dont work. Everyone of us who have lambasted this guy have at one time burnt up a motor or esc or blew up a battery 'cause we did something stupid. |

Agreed, however I find I don't get a lot of ballooning at all on the stock tyres or the Terrapins (unless I lift the truck up and hammer the throttle)
|
^ Qwa? You must not be hammering the throttle, my stock GT-2 balloon easily and I put extra CA glue on the things before its maiden voyage.
|
lol perhaps I need to reset my endpoints on the TX
Might be goin at 80% throttle without realising it (That's happened to me before) |

I better change it then before any more runs!

Ironic to see Castle has not commented on this. :no:

if you made a revolutionary new type of computer....would you like to listen to people b***h about it?
or would you like to listen to the few people who had an eagle tree recorder running during the failure? shaun |

Seriously if you bought a Camry, and somehow managed to fit Landcruiser wheels on, do you think you'd get warranty when you blew the engine trying to gun it in 5th gear? |

'Freezebyte wrote: "I refuse to believe that 2200kv will have a hard time powering 40 series wheels" ...Your beliefs won't change the facts and physics, if you choose this road you will likely find out the hard way (with your wallet) that RC is NOT an "out of the box" affair. These companies naturally have their 'extreme' promotional videos to woo and yes, even mislead the consumer that these trucks will take unlimited abuse 24/7 and all you gotta do is charge lipos. You think it's odd that Castle has not responded when you are making an example of a THIRD party's experience, who looks to be a C.F.M. This hobby is worth the time and effort it takes, getting worked up over someone else's stupidity is not. |
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
This is to the last two posts! Classic, both of them! |
Would 48/15 be alright on 6S with big joe's? The manual recommends 25t pinion on 6S what's up with that?

Heavier/larger diameter tires require less gearing to maintain the same load on the motor. Any setup requires x number of watts to move, if you add more weight to the tires that number of watts required will go up. To get it back to the original output you need to lower the gearing! I have no idea why people have such a hard time getting their minds around this... If you add more voltage the motor spins faster and the tires go around faster too, and if something goes faster it must be producing more power... |
Thanks man, yeah I've got a flashpoint. What's too hot for the motor, esc and battery just to be safe. :)

Looks like he got his ESC replaced. Curious to see what happens now... :neutral:

IMO, Castle is off the hook for the Flux esc, the minute a guy slaps on the huge tires, etc.
Good lord, this is not Castle's fault. If they choose to warranty this at all, props to them. But this is not an opportunity to bash the mfg!!! Pardon me while I get on the Ford forums to complain... I totally smoked the clutch on my '93 Escort GT after only 3 mile trip across town in stop and go traffic. I was pulling my 21' ski boat to the lake... hit third gear WOT and it just started slipping and smoking.... arg!!! |
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
That was classic GD, thanks for the morning laugh! |

The guy obviously had a piss poor attitude to begin with which is obvious by his posts. If he would have used some tact and not cussed like a 13 year old more people would have helped him. I have always found out that most of the time life is 90% attitude. That's why I like this forum, everything runs on an even keel and the attitudes are kept in check. No one with a bad attitude lasts long here no matter what knowledge they bring.

"There's a few arseholes at the MRC forum isn't there."
He has no idea... The few we have here would run this dork off so fast... |
Run him over more like, I'll give him arsehole (not like that, you know what I mean..).
