E-LST2 need some help
 

hey guys i just ran my LST2 with cc2200 motor and MMM on 5S power is amazing, i ran for 5 mins just messing around ambient temp was 104f (at night) hehe, anyways the thing is everything was cool but the transmission shaft and TDR single speed adapter was hot i dont know how hot it was but in the house i measured it at 90f. its an FOC with gear swap. i am using all TDR products . what do u think guys could be the problem or is it not a problem ?? and what should i check for :rules:

any info would be great

That's strange... My "transmission shaft" (the shaft which goes from the gearbox to the diff) is also hot after driving. I don't know for sure, but I think it are the mech brakes. Or don't you use them?

well i dont use mechanical brakes, and my trans shafts are cool but input shaft (that has the spur) thats hot with the single speed adapter.

in ur case check that the grub screws on the cups coming out from the trans are not touching anything and creating friction.

in my case i dont know whats up. till now

Oops I'm sorry :oops:

Well, I can't help you, I don't know what it is :neutral:

Mine seemed hot most times also. I wouldn't worry too much.

Slipper clutch makes heat when working correctly. No worrys.

^^^What he said^^^

I have always noticed on all my trucks that the slipper clutch parts always get hot. You may try tightening down a little bit and there could be too much slippage. Other than that I wouldn't worry.

Thanks guys :yipi: !!! u saved me from getting the trans out i`ll just run it , and even if it was binding in the trans i`ll wait for it to crap out then get a new one :yes: now i need to get on the next project and finish my 8ight


Thanks

Yogy,
FYI, if the tranny breaks ,the internal parts are very cheap. There is only 1 gear that will break and you can get it for under 10.00.

Tighten up the slipper nut slightly. The thrust bearing style slipper is very sensitive to adjustment, maybe 1/4 of a turn or less.

linc with cc2200 and 5s how much do u think i need to be out on the slipper from fully compressed spring ? coz i think i am now at 3/4 or 1 turn out, should i make 1/2 ?

Adjust so that it slips slightly under hard excelleration,make adjustments in small increments.
