Everybody that mentioned something about my diffs was correct. I lost my front diff yesterday after bashing. My next update will be FLM hybrids and HPI gears.

Yeah, hmmm, who was that, gee, hmmm......

But under the same driver, virtually nothing as far as temp increase. You probably wouldn't feel a difference as far as temps goes.

SO just verifing here just to make sure.

1. so assuming i the same circumstances and same driver with my setup i should experince little to nothing temp difference. (not saying that when i run my car i should expect those temps).
2. the total lower gear ratio does that mean higher or lower temps generally when dealing with the neu motors.

[suicideneil]

That would seem to be correct, yes. My thoughts are that gearing a little lower will result in a cooler esc, and gearing a little higher will make it run abit hotter- but the motor wont change much, if at all temp wise really. This learning curve is steeper than K2....

[coolhandcountry]

Some times gearing a motor lower makes it run warmer. Don't know why just does.
Think it has something to do with efficency.

[suicideneil]

Guess thats why the feigaos always run hot- poor efficiency.
It would be nice to know the optimum rpm range for different motors at any given voltage, rather than just guessing at the 30-40,000rpm range.

Silly question: how do you actually pronounce 'feigao'? Thats always puzzled me abit...

[lxmuff]

I ask a friend at work what the Chinese symbol from Feigao's web page is pronounced. He said it is pronounced close to fe-go. He said it means "going upwards"

[2FastSS4U]

It's puzzled me as well, I've always pronounced it "Fay-Gao". Guess I was a close

[zeropointbug]

I pronouce it: 'Fee-ya-go'

But that is just me....

[squeeforever]

I'm with ZPB.

[mkrusedc]

Me three., but looks like we may have been wrong.

[mkrusedc]

Well I thought I busted my front diff, which had me a little puzzled because usualy it is the rear that goes first. Well I took apart my front end and....... no drive cup screw!! I thought I had put Locktite on all of them but I guess not.

Can you say noob mistake?

[zeropointbug]

Well even besides the mistake... the front can go almost as often as the rear if you brake a lot, there is moe stress on it when braking.

[mkrusedc]

Thanks. Never really thought of that. Maybe because I usually break, umm... I meant brake, by hitting something.

[Patrick]

Do you mean no screws as in they were snapped, or did you leave them out completely?
I forgot if your using the stock cups or ally ones.
