Custom 1/5 Brushless

[kladal]

Hello All,

Thank you for the valuable advice.

I know the 2217 2y is a remarkably powerful motor. However, including the chassis, wheels (IMEX Kongs), batteries, and electrical components, this vehicle WILL EXCEED 20 pounds. In fact, I expect to be around 24 total; potentially more if I decided to strengthen the lower chassis plate. Also, I intend to exceed 50 MPH despite the fact I'll be using the 8" Kongs. Furthermore, as amperage is a direct correlation to the traction/tire setup, I should not be exceeding peak amperage draw of 150A.

Someone suggested using a Savage Flux-based transmission. I own a Flux and will custom-design an aluminum housing for the gears.

I will make sure to post more detailed pictures of the differentials this evening. Once I get a better idea of the differentials, I am hoping to find the right gearing setup especially since I'm using 8" Kongs.

Thank you all!

Hello,

I finally disassembled the differentials and saw that I have a 13/37 setup (illustrated in picture).

What type of gearing would you folks recommend for this truggy? Kindly recall that there are 8.5" Kong tires on and I'd like to exceed 50MPH. Also, I'll be using an all aluminum version of an HPI Savage Flux transmission (stock is 44T).

Thank you!
