Ok.. the Mod’s continue (sue me)
Here I’ve got a before and after shot of my spur gear, since I couldn’t find one black "mod 1" to use with my current setup, I simply made it black Via Dye. I think it turned out ok?? And it allows me to run a 52/24 combo..

I'm taking any suggestions in-regards to proper gearing combination?? If you have any recommendation fell free to toss them my way..

Before



After






Thanks again for your time and have a great one..


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

I have a t-maxx and have changed it two times...stock, installed the Dynamite.28 kit, and now brushless...(almost done). For me it almost as much fun to upgrade these trucks as it is to run. Now, when I am finished w/ my upgrade, I won't have to wrench on it as much!

I installed what I thought were upgrades to make it "bomb proof", in reading these forums, my perspective on "bomb proof" has drastically changed and so have my upgrades...my point is if you REALLY want to have fun, you need to pony up the cash for the best of the best and then and hopefully then...no worries!!!

Hey TDC57 That thing is a piece of junk, and you need to just throw it in my trash can. I will take care of it for you.

I think that’s probably a good start. It seems high initially when coupled with the Emaxx 2nd gear and 1/8 diffs, but when you combine it with that low KV Neu motor barely turning 30k on 6S, I think you could probably run whatever gearing you want and not have to worry about excessive heat.

Hay xcntrk!.. That’s what I', hopping for not to hot of an application.. I'll just need to keep my eye on the temps for a while and experiment with different setups. I'm glad to hear that at lest my starting point wont be a bad place..

Thanks for the advise..

Have a great one..
