Sorry but I don't know what UE's or IMO are.

They are cvd's. here http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/...re/13501S.html
:027:

I M O = in my opinion

Oh yeah, sorry about the jack man! Bad habit!:005: :005:

ihh yeh man 46 what a wimp lol are u kidding how would anyone think thats slow and then its with a monster truck thats CRAZY

Yes, very fast.

What do you guys think i will hit with the mph I have on order.

Over/Under 60 mph
Over/Under 70 mph

6s lipos?
Over 60, under 70 is my guess. :)

thats if u have the room and its doesnt wheelie when u punch it when youre getting up to speed

When I adjusted the suspension and added the spurrs wheelie bar I think I dialed it in pretty well when I say this thing jumps to full speed and doesn't flip backwards any more.

Batteries
 

I just got my batteries at work and I can't wait until I get home to test them out. Hopefully I can figue all this stuff out and get it right by tommorrow. The problem is there is storm out today and I probally won't get a chance to try it until later in the week.

Keep an eye out for my post on top speed LIPOS... :043:

I killed my truck. I think 6s is way to much for the slipper and spur gear I used. I need to make it alot stronger and then I think the front and rear diffs will go next. Any suggestion for me, and also check out the specifics under general electric 6s might be to much. Post either one, I'll check them both.

Well I tried it again and I melted the spur gear a second time. Top speed using a 52/16 was 57mph and I plan on breaking 60 before I'm done. Mike is still out of the strobe slipper so I searched the web and found Robinson Racing. They make a 32pitch 54spur and 14-22pinion gears with an all metal cross drilled slipper. I'll try this configuration on Wednesday when I get it in the mail and tell you all how it works. I will start with a 14pinion then 16 - 18 - 20 and finally if the E-Revo can handle it a 22.

Well what do you guys think about my idea of using the RR slipper as a substitue?

I replied in the other thread, but I will in this one to....You will shred the pinions with the metal on metal...You need a plastic spur...By the way, did you get my PM?

Why would metal on metal shred? It should be the strongest of them all.

Tire choice : Imex foams
body choice: Low profile ,seiarra body is good
suspention height : Very low
& weather temp:the cool mornings work well for me

all contribute to wheather you hit that magical 60mph :002:

Well first off, there is no lube on it! Metal on metal must be the right materials to work (one softer than the other). But with the torque you are throwing at them they shred each other. Is your gear mesh right?

I'm using 6s lipos and the torque is stupid. I think if I go with the strobe slipper upgrade or the robinson racing upgrade which are both crossed drilled metal the heat won't melt the spur gears anymore.

I think the better choice for you would be the strobe slipper...you just have to wait for mike to get them is all

I know what you are saying is true but I need something in the mean time.

Well I can gurantee that the metal on metal won't last 1 run. Infact, I would probably be willing to put money on it...Hardened steel against non-hardened steel WON'T LAST. Theres a few pictures around here of what happens with metal on metal. If you setup the MGT slipper you had right, then it should last no problem. If it doesn't, your only choice is the Strobe or a Kippster...

I'll start a pool....LOL:005: $5 to get in!

DOH!!!!!!!! lol thats what i was thinking lol im selling popcorn for 5 bucks

Ok, who's got soda?

I'll bring the peanuts..& cashews....lol

It sounds like your slipper is too loose, tighten it all the way so the spring is fully compressed and then tighten even harder. Be gentle when you pull out ease into the throttle. Get the plastic gears for the robinson. This will get you through until Mike gets the stobes in. This will almost be like having no slipper so it will most likely not slip and be hard on your drivetrain if you get on it hard or stay on the throttle while landing a jump. But it should be fine for speed runs.

I did not see the robinson plastic spurs for there new design. If you know where to get them please let me know. Their slipper is a tower hobbies, here is the link if you want to see it so you can help me.

They don't make a plastic spur for the MGT slipper.

If they don't make it how can I use it. And BTW why would they make it if it is no good.

metal spurs are fine for a nitro because it has a clutch that has some slip to it at low rpm and they do not produce the amount of instant torque as brushless motors.

BTW i think what Squee means, is to take the stock MGT slipper assembly with the stock MGT spur gear and use i t on your e-maxx transmission. I think.......

I was assuming you had an Emaxx slipper. Metal gears are much heavier, can cause electrical interference,are noisy,and as mentioned will wear quickly with your setup. Bottom line is there was probably nothing wrong with your original slipper, it was just setup too loose and or didn't have enough friction pegs installed (each hole on the slipper should have a friction peg instead of just a few).

Nice revo. What spring are you using on the slipper? Emaxx or mgt?

I am using a EMaxx slipper. I have the strobe on order from Mike so I should have it by next week. I only need something for about that time. I'm sure it will be fine. Also, I had all the pegs in and the nut was very tight. I made it so tight it was like some people's wallets. Anyway, I am going to try everything posible to make metal to metal work until I get the strobe. I'll keep everyone posted until I get the strobe to see what happens.

:013:

Well I took a comparsion pic of springs. I thought I would share to with others. On right is mgt spring. On left is emaxx spring. You can plainly see the difference.
Attachment 1930

Regardless of the spring I want to know if I can use the RR slipper with a 52t mod1 team associated spur and just dremal out the middle since your telling me that I nned to have plastec with metal.

I have heard you can use the mod 1 51 tooth ofna gears. I have never tried so can't say for sure. Less dremel work for sure.

I looked at the photos and the ofna has four screws and the associated spur has three screws. It wont fit. BTY it may be reversed.

It is easier to drill 4 holes than dremel the whole center out of the spur.
They you still have to drill 4 holes to.

The Ofna fits the RRP Maxx slipper. Not sure about the MGT, but...Don't even bother to run ti with the metal spur. That will be $15+ down the drain. I gurantee it...

No problems, guys, the strobes are back in stock.

I have the Strobe on order and I will probably receive it on Mon. or Tues. However i still like to have a backup, and not only that but what if I design something new and cool. I doubt it but I can still try.

You guys are telling me that the Ofna spur gear will fit the RRS but I don't understand how. As far as I know the screw holes don't line up. If anybody knows how please post photos and info on this thread.

Thank you.
