Is there a way to make the flux last for more than a 1/2 pack ? - RC-Monster Forums

speedy · 08:14 AM

I just istalled my new bullitproof diffgears and went bashing ! but i could only run for about 10mins before the front center gearbox output broke in half and the front centershaft lost a drivepin

is there a way to make this thing more durable ?

Don't drive like a maniac

HPI new super duty diffs

How mutch chould the slipper be slipping ? I tried the faktory setteing of 1/2 turn from closed but it didn't slip ! so i loosed it 1/4 more and i think it slipps alitle now.

Maby i chould swap the motor for a weaker one ?

just loosen the slipper so that the clutch slips only under about 80 percent and higher throttle input

u run your flux on 6s? if so go for 4S. 6S is just stupid with drivetrain quality of savage trucks. actually 6s with 2200kv motor is stupid in any truck :)

been there done that

6s and a 2200 in my truggy with a center diff, wheelies on demand, backflips- the works...in race trim- on dirt

+1

Yeah, 4S will be more than insane enough even in the heavier flux. Other than adjusting the slipper some, you can also get the CastleLink to adjust some of the settings of the ESC such as "punch control"; you can scale that back to help deal with some of the insanity.

will the motor pull less amp's on 4s than 6s with the same gearing ?

E-Revonut · 11.28.2009, 02:21 PM

With the same gearing,just dropping to 4s from 6s it should be pretty close to the same amp draw, amybe a bit more but it will be slower. If you tried to gear for the same speed as 6s while running 4s the amp draw would be much higher

How did you guy's setup your blur/mmm esc in your flux ?

That's a bunch of hooey (AKA - Crap). I've only run mine on 4S once, and wont likely do it again. And yes, I beat the snot out of it, and drive it like it was stolen. My drivetrain has yet to show signs of wear and tear - however, the rest of it has been torn apart and upgraded to handle the power.

Pull the reciever lid off, pull the esc plug, and plug in the Castle wire (which you likely dont have unless you bought it seperatley (I dont remember mine coming with the wire). Then connect it to your PC.

I've got my punch control set on 20% (or is that 80...cant remember which way that goes). Timing is at stock (I think that is 10?).

speedy · 11.28.2009, 04:40 PM

This is my esc setup:

Start power=high
Timing = lowest
Punchcontrol=100%

speedy · 11.28.2009, 04:43 PM

how are you able to keep your flux driveline from breaking ? i haven't even been able to run a sigle pack thou my flux !! and i don't abuse it !

i have had 80-100$ hbx cars last mutch longer than this 1000$ one Grrr !

I made a comment in your other thread on this. I'm guessing that maybe driving habits might be coming into play here. If its not, my money is on you having just recieved a truck that was built on a late friday afternoon, with a set of bad drivetrain parts. The latter is not near as likely as the former.
This truck is much heavier, and probably much faster than those 80 dollar stadium trucks. You could get away with things like landing a jump on full throttle with those, at least for a certain amount of time.
Someone used the term Abuse - to me that means intentionally doing things that might cause damage, inadvertently doing something that causes damage is nothing to be ashamed of.
