Emaxx-Revo-Losi 1/5 AWD On-Road racer

[nitrostarter]

Have you coated the entire shaft with Loctite? I had that problem on a truggy. I coated the entire motor shaft generously with Blue loctite and then slide the pinion on. Then generously applied loctite to the set screw and tightened it down. I let it sit for at least a day. That pinion became a pain to get off needless to say.

I found a cool long Pinion that has two set screws. and I'll try your idea

It really matters what support tech you speak to there seems to be only TWO good techs at Castle Creations, JOE is a PRO with the MAx and MONSTER AND setting up your RADIO. He calmly and politely listens and accepts that the old radio I use that does have a BRAKE button can and does work on my ESC's the other guy tells me there's no such thing and the ESC is not set up to do it.

SO with that I have my Mnster ESC working with my Old am 27mhz Airtronics XL2P That has a "BRAKE button"
HE also help trouble shoot that I had a poor performing Receiver, unlike the other guy that just got angry
THAnk you Joe, you are the man !


so I hope to get some video soon

today I was driving it and Pulled full throttle and it leaped in the air sideways and landed on it's side ! Remember it's almost 3 feet long and 15" wide and over 10 lbs !
Speed was hard to reach in front of my house but probably reached 50
that's insane power

swapping from a 14 pin to a 17pinion 9.5 final ratio , maybe calm the torque a little
