Brushless Kyosho S-RR

[Shark413]

Steve, thanks for the kind words. I am a better wrench than a driver. The fan runs off of the rx. Regarding the brakes, I just feel more comfortable with the mechanical brakes, you can adjust brake bias, there is less wear and tear on the gears/motor/esc. When you use motor brake only you bascially lock the spur gear, but the diff will then decide how much brake to give to the front/rear depending on traction. Too iffy for me. Don't get me wrong, motor brakes work fine, it makes the buggy lighter and there are less things that can go wrong.

shark, nice job on the conversion.....lot of work. FYI....running the neu with the wires oriented on the low side will eventually result in pierced heat shrink on the wires where they smack the chassis and can short through the chassis intermittently.......

cadima, thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on the wires rubbing on the chassis. I was kind of worried about the wires where they exit the motor can, do they rub agains't the can and short out? I was thinking of putting a dab of silicone sealer around the holes to both seal the can and prevent the wires from rubbing.

Nice job. Looks like in the second part you were warmed up. They sure handle nice and looks like the way your ST-RR was flying you got it pretty well balanced out. I'm gathering the parts to covert the US SPorts to the ST-RR. Will be a while till I convert to electric (Seeings how I just bought and Axial .28) but when the time comes you have given me a standard to shoot for. Very nice conversion.
