Direct to diff outrunner conversion*update*

I like what you are saying though Hickoryhead, about using an inrunner so everything is nice and sealed from dust.

I wonder about the 19xx Neu motors? I will check this out.

Good to see that you are interested in this, Buggie

I will try a larger out runner, maybe with my slipper mod if I have the time to get parts made. Thinking a 46 or 60 in a very light 1/8 buggy. Would like to do 6s or more, what esc choices do i have for running an outrunner? The quark works well but it is 5s max.

I don't know about this dual slipper setup you want to do, it sounds good, but I think the torque will be far to high to be able to use them, they don't have enough holding force, IMO.

If you mod your Quark with some exra caps, like 4 extra to the power lead, you should be able to do 6s lipo. Have you seen my Quark? I am running 7s2p A123, that is higher on state voltage than 6s lipo, and it runs like a dream.

I just checkd out the 19xx Neu motors, but they don't have anything that would work...

Ok, the slipper will not have the benifit of tranny gearing and will be overtaxed or simply just not work? Did not think of that. Any idea of a method to give the drivetran a little shock protection. Maybe mount the outrunner to the chassis with some sort of isolator. Rubber, or stiffer material, kind of like full size engine mounts. That would "give" a little to help the shock issue but be solid enough for good power transmission.

I will add a few caps to my quark, thinking of ditching the case and mounting up a heatsink directly to the fets that can also be attached to the chassis for addl heat dissapation. Mybe an al L bracket to the fets and then a heatsink onto that and attach the leg of the L bracket to the chassis. Probably a good idea to support the esc with shrink or some other method so that the weight is not completely supported by the fets. Maybe just shrink the esc to the bracket with some thermal paste and epoxy the heatsink to the bracket. Just an idea, something similar to yours but a little smaller!
