My G2R (Thus far pics)

[Dafni]

This past summer I spent a 2 week RC holiday almost only on Responses. Many long sessions on tracks included. Had no problem, but I wore them out good.

Just don't drive them when the foams are wet. The additional centrifugal force will rip them no problem. Also the rubber is so thin, I can see a single small cut or hole will lead to rubber flapping all over the place.

Alrighty, hope they do good for a custom racetrack:)

They will do fine for most applications. Promod and Coolhand tend to like the extreme end of the power scale. I haven't blown a set of responses yet(though I have seen it happen!). A rip will surely lead to failure, but for a 14 cell setup, they will likley last you quite a while.

I have got some news and pics, i finally ran the g2r, for 3 mins only but it was AWESOME!!! Why only 3 mins? My one battery pack went POOF! pics; http://www.rcpics.net/img/72400

I got her up and running again, im just doing the cycle process with the batteries, everything looks good so far, 1 Q, my esc seems to be getting hot, but i dont think it is over or under geared , im running 14/70 on 14 cells, doesnt that sound about right? more pics coming soon!

[crazyjr]

I'm currently using 18/66 gearing on 12 cells, for 14 i would suggest 16/66 for starters

[Sylvester]

Im not sure if i should gear up though, because my speed is already insane! It has good accel and fast top speed. Hows your g2r crazy? Anything u'd like to share?

[squeeforever]

insane? with titans? you might not want brushless....:027: :027: remember, a brushed motor wont heat up from being undergeared. i think :032:

squee-sometimes a brushed motor does heat up when it is undergeared

sylvester-if this is any help a stock emaxx with titans has an 18t pinion and a 66t spur but i dont know the diffs are in a revo i believe that an emaxx has 13/37 gears in the diff(correct me if im wrong)

[Sylvester]

i have never been on 14 cells, only on 12, its a big step for me, but BL WILL startle me for sure!

[squeeforever]

the revo diffs are the exact same ratio as the emaxx. sylvester, try a 16 tooth pinion.

[Sylvester]

will do , this truck is probably a little fast because it is pretty light! it weighs under 9 lbs..... ill get a weight soon.

a 16 will do but like i said the emaxx uses an 18t pinion and a 66t spur

[Sylvester]

yes it does, but on 14 cells traxxas reccomends to gear down a tooth or 2.....

im pretty sure it is only 1 tooth but that is just what i was told and i thought you said you were only running it 12 cells
