If you own a 1/8 scale truggy or buggy you will know the the MOD1 51T spur has Four mounting holes that attachs to the diff casing. It will not allow the front wheel to unload and cause the vehicle to understeer. It will send power to the front and rear equally. The solid center also helps when you get to a corner too fast and you can actually brake deep and use some controlled throttle to help steer the vehicle around the corner. I used to race karts in Brasil and it was a nice trick to learn. It is funny how I can use it in my R/Cs as well.

I got a few questions for you guys, today I ran my truck and noticed that it's cogging really badly in forward AND in reverse, now it only cogs when I barely have the throttle pulled back but it never used to do this so I'm sort of concerned. Another thing I'm noticing is that if I'm going in forward and use the brake and try to go forward again it wont let me until I apply the brakes again.. Anyone know what could be causing this, I'm thinking its a punch control setting and the brake delay setting? I dont have a temp guage yet but the motor was pretty hot maybe 160F or so, the ESC was a little above warm I'd say around 130F or so. Batts were warm to the touch.

Oh yeah and forgot to mention i'm running 14/51 and every time the forward, brake, no forward, brake, then forward thing would happen the esc would have a red blinking light going off then I'd hit the brakes and it would go to yellow and it would drive fine. I seem to have lost my ESC manual so I can't figure out what exactly its doing or how to reprogram it.

Well I decided to keep the roller for display purposes. All electronics are for sale I'm offering them here before I put them on ebay. I'm letting them go for dirt cheap. PM me if anyone wants anything. I'll cover shipping.


1) Futaba 3PM 2.4Ghz Radio w/Rx
2) Castle Creations BEC
3) Hitec 5955TG servo (320oz./in.)
4) Neu 1515/2.5D motor w/ 14-tooth pinion
5) Quark Monster Pro 125B ESC
6) 2s & 3s Apogee Li-Mn 5800mAh batteries (if bought together I will throw in an Astro Flight Blinky balancer)
7) Hyperion EOS 1210i charger

Due to the nature of this hobby everything is sold as is without warranty or return. Everything works, no DOA's.

Radio, batteries, and charger are still available if anyone wants them I'll give'em an amazing deal as its the last of the electronics i've got. Get'em quick they're cheaper than dirt and still brand new!
