Custom Outrunner Setup

[DrKnow65]

bb16, I think the idea is to put less stress on the outrunners front bearing. Most outrunners will not have a problem here but why not try it?

I do recall one of the newer rc's having a shaft between the motor and transmission to locate the motor in a better position. Just can't remember what it was.

I have found the best learning to be trial and error, experience is good and you'll never come up with something new if you don't try new things.

I think you're thinking of Tamiya's truggy the Nitrage. The engine has a dogbone that goes right into a drive cup that is kinda "in" the transmission.

I want to be constructive in my criticism, but I really don't see the point, it's the equivalent of a 46 tooth pinion to center diff setup(assuming 46 tooth cd's) but with added components, extra rotatinal mass and the parasitic power loss of extra parts. Putting a 46 tooth pinion on the outrunner does the same thing, and opens up more room, and costs less, and has less components to fail, and is easier, and makes more sense to me. And why use center diffs if they are locked? That's an awful expensive gear. I'm not trying to bust balls here, but it's like taking the groceries in from the car one item at a time, to my highly sophisticated high school dropout analytical mind anyhoo.
