Slash 4x4 SCT 2400 combo install

Howdy Folks,

Just installed the SCT/2400 combo into my Slash 4x4

A couple of observations

I had to install an external bec as the internal did not work well (Ace DS1015 servo)

I am not happy with the length of the motor shaft and where the pinion sits (5mm pinion with reducer)

I am running the TRX 50t spur and was planning to install a 17t pinion

Could not get them to mesh correctly and had to install a 19t

The MMP ESC has the yellow light flashing (TX problem ?) but functions correctly and calibrates fine, any suggestions on how to fix this ?

I am running the Spektrum SR3300t RX and it worked fine with my previous MMM / 1512 combo

The motor is a little ripper, and after 10 minutes of high speed passes the temp didnt get over 130 (running a 4s 5000mah 40c pack)

Great job on a great combo for these cars

Cheers

I think the yellow flashing is the indicator for cheat mode not being enabled - Roar requirements.

I read earlier today that it also flashes to confirm the motor timing is set at 0 (for roar)

This truck runs 32p /0.8mod gears, right? Why not get a 1/8 bore 32p pinion for it, instead of using a 5mm bore with reducer? Or are you having issues with the motor contacting the chassis before the smaller 17t pinion can get close enough to the spur? Just a thought, as I am not familiar with either the vehicle or the motor.

The motor mount plate hits the end of its movement range before the pinion and spur can mesh correctly

Same thing happened when running the 1512 motor, was planning to install a 21t pinion but could only get a 23 to mesh correctly

I do have some 3mm pinions but as far as I can see they are similar in physical size

Not really a big deal as a larger spur would also help, just thought I would let people know

+1 I always ran Robinson racing 32pitch 3mm bore pinions.

i dont have any 1:10 cars but still i want this system so bad, the motor is the best looking castle motor yet.
I have burnt sevral 2 pole castle motor in the past but this seems like another level in the 1:10 class motors

this motor is waaay overkill for any normal 1/10 car.

the 1410 motor is the same diameter and only 3mm longer than the 2 pole 1/10 motors, but it can handle WAAAY more power and runs way cooler. i am running mine in a heavy ~7lb crt .5 geared for at least 50mph and it doesn't get over 125F.

You should run a 3mm pinion.

For what reason mate ?

Is using the reducer not ideal ?

Considering that a standard pinion for the truck is about $4 and a 5mm bore one in about $10 I would say using the reducer is not ideal!

[Arct1k]

Bore size makes no difference to pinion size. Run what you like or can get easily.

I understand the price difference was wondering if the reducer was a weakness at all

I allready have a set of 5mm pinions as my previous motor was the 1512

Cheers

That motor is AWESOME!

You know, it probably doesn't make a difference. I was thinking the 3mm pinion would weigh less than the 5mm pinion plus the reducer, but they're probably very close.
