Jordan, your tires are spinning and a lot of weight is toward the front= no wheelies. You need to run on street and lock your CD and wheelie central...

Lutach: HV!!!!

I agree. If you lock up the center diff and stick to running on asphault you can try for some high speed. I am not a huge fan of wheelies, but you may need so shift some of your weight to the rear for that.

Kind of an out of body HV experience we assume. Just don't start chanting.

Thats a nice collection of motors Lutach

Im not to fussed about the whole wheelie thing at the moment, id rather save my front and rear diffs than lock the CD. That was the idea of the CD instead of the e-maxx tranny in the first place. I might run a thicker diff oil, maybe try and run 50k and see how that turns out.

SV6000 · 12.04.2008, 07:12 AM

I didnt change the setup on my truck from when i bought it. and on 4s it would scrape the rear wing on the floor. when i stripped the diffs there was grease in the cd. i think if you lighten your truck you will see wheelies. try running smaller 3s packs for 6s

Hey Jordan did the calcs and found out that my overall drive ratio is 8.9-1

I looked at the calculator and saw that if i add the truggy diffs it will work out to be about 13.5-1 and if i drop my gearing down it will go to 18.92-1, a lot safer. By the way the top speed with 8.9-1 is 82mph drag adjusted

jordan... · 09:36 AM

8.9:1 ey

, you have run it before right? did your speedy get hot? From Shauns gearing i reckon around 15-16:1 seems about right. 18.92:1 would be alot safer, but make sure you dont go too far and undergear it, then the motor might start getting toasty. Drag adjusted of 82mph, thats insane specially with a 1515

Keep us posted with how your changes go, have you got the RCM hybrid diffs on your truck? Im assuming you have the buggy diffs in now?

SV6000 · 12.04.2008, 10:07 AM

nope got the standard erevo/revo diffs in it. yes i have run it a few times i justput 50000 in the CD 30000 in the front and 7000 in the rear to get it to handle better. it will still wheelie to my hearts content but not as easy as before. i will have to get the truggy diffs in it soon to take care of the speedy but so far it is doing fine. the only time i got it to trip the fuse was when i was putting it through its passes on 4s. i had it in an area about 3x3m and was making it wheelie non stop from one side to the other for about 5 mins straight. as soon as i hit neutral on the tx it reset and was fine. it would run better with better batteries. at the moment i am running maxamps until my flight powers arrive. i think i will put in the truggy diffs and play with the gearing to get some middle ground

Nice to see the truck running well at last, its been a long old build. On the cvd issue, you can buy a device called a 'bone saver' (anyone remember that conversation, one for the history books..) that you can use to extrace and replace the broken pin with, if the press doesnt work.

TDC57 · 12.04.2008, 02:22 PM

Hey Jordan..

It was great to see it starting to finally take on speed!.. I'm sorry to hear / see your current issues. On the positive side, now you can prepare for this repair in the future as well to cut down on (down time). Example My truck has a few weeks points and I've learned them so when it brakes I've got spares, now you know a week point of yours too so it’s kind of good thing (sorry just trying to positive spin a shitty situation!) LOL.LOL..

Best of luck Jordan..

P.S.
It’s an awesome build…

good idea, what voltage are you going to be running with the Flightpowers, still 4s? I think i'm going to try 50000 in my CD, and maybe 75000 if that doesn't lock it up enough.

Thanks Neil. Ahh yes the bone saver, i was searching through the arcives and i think i saw something from '06 on that? Definately has been a long build, pretty much exactly 12 months, time flies when you're having fun i guess

Thanks Shaun. The speed is getting there, still would like it a bit quicker, but im working up to that. I'd rather that than just stupidly fast straight away, and two stripped diffs and broken driveshafts. At the moment i dont think that that was a weak point on the truck, more operator error

I musn't have tightened them up enough, thats whay they came loose. All the other corners held up ok though, so thats a plus. Hopefully with some thicker diff oil it'll gain some punch off of the line.

SV6000 · 12.04.2008, 10:31 PM

I dont think outright speed is that great anymore. I have an inferno GT that does 112kmh (checked with radar) and its still nitro

I think i will get the kyosho 777 conversion kit from castle and put a 2200kv combo in it with 6s, just to see what happens

I think in a MT about 40mph is quick enough for bashing and racing, but in saying that i think i will have mine set up so that i can change batteries and pinion and do one or two quick 60-70mph runs, and than let the speedy cool down

hahahahaha
