Brushless TLT

[sven]

I found this site when I started learning about brushless 1/8th scale buggies, and I have really learned a lot. Thanks to all of you who have made this site so informative.

My MP 7.5 is still under construction, but since there's a crawler section now I figured I might as well post my TLT.

Some spec's:
Mamba Max esc
Hyperion z3013-14 outrunner
Losi triple-x transmission
Torsion chassis
Hitec HS-645mg servo
6 cell Energizer 2500mah battery
Yeah Racing tlt aluminum knuckles
2.2 proline moabs
traxxas stampede wheels (narrowed)
Fat-Rock aluminum axle C's
Front dig via JR XR3 3rd channel and HS-645mg

The picture was taken this past weekend in Augusta, GA during the first compitition held at that location.

I will get some body off shots in a couple weeks. I started back to school this week and had to leave the toys at home.

That is nice. How do you like that motor?
I was considering the bigger one for txt.

[sven]

I love the motor, tons of power (probably too much for such a lightweight rig). It gets over the rocks with no hesitation and the drag braking is great. The motor is a tad larger in diameter than a standard 540 brushed motor, so I had to shave a little bit of the Losi transmission to allow it to work.

The only concern I had was the lack of a flat spot on the motor shaft, but I haven't had any problems with the pinion slipping yet. If it does start to slip I will just make a flat spot on the shaft, not really a big issue to me. I modify stuff all the time to suite my needs, so I'm not too worried about it.

I also have a Revolver outrunner to try out. The revolver is a lot smaller than the Hyperion, but it's probably better suited to the rig.

Very nice sven! Love the scenary ; the TLT even more:D

[Mike.L]

nice...maby ill give crawling a try someday....seems like this new category is booming!

[Sylvester]

That would be somthing we could take up, mike. 8000mah 2s2p, BL, and a nice TXT will give us some nice over hour runtimes:):D

[Mike.L]

more! its rock crawling it wount take mutch power 2 hours:p

[Sylvester]

What do you mean by "more!"?
8000mah is more than enough mah!

[jollyjumper]

he ment i would run alot longer then an hour, more like 2 hours.

[coolhandcountry]

I have read of run times in the 60 to 75 min range on a gp3300. So 8000 mah pack on
same setup. Arm tired of holding radio. :D

[Sylvester]

Acutally, Leroy, the radio would probably die before the truck! ;)

[sven]

I finally got some body off shots of the TLT.



This is the dig system. The servo pulls the female shaft away from the top, leaving it to spin freely.

Nice project! can you shoot a movie of the baby in action?
