My Slipperential's maiden run

[sjcrss]

Well, after getting it all together and the body done....I Charged up some the gp3300 NIMH's (7 cell packs) and dropped them into the truck....and decided to head outside and give it a run up and down the street.....Mind you the road was wet from from the snow melting earlier today...so I figured if the road was a little wet I could see how it handled.....WELL, no matter how hard i tried to get it to wheelie....it just plain wouldn't, also the handling improved so much better to, meaning power from front to rear, was improved greatly to, along with it seemed to corner better as well. So I'm very pleased with the slipperential, and it's worth every penny spent on it..... Below is the setup i was running, when I was just testing it out front....

SLIPPERENTIAL:
revo 40t spur
slipper was tightened down, then backed off by 1/4 turn
30k diff fluid

CONTROLLER:
Micro 2095 BK controller

MOTOR:
Feigo 7xl
16t pinion

BATTS:
GP 3300 NIMH matched 7 cell packs
14 cells in series

TIRES/RIMS

Remember this was on gp's......I'm sure it will do alot better ince I go 4s Lipo next month.....

How was the temps on the 7xl?

[sjcrss]

it felt warmer than cold air around me...and I was being a DA and went outside with no coat on....so it was a little cold...hard to tell...honestly

Can't wait to hear how it runs when you can "hook the truck up".

Sounds like an impressive first outing though!

Very good news.

With thicker diff oil, I think that you can make the truck do some wheelies.

I'm using 7k diff oil, but I did not get the chance to run my truck, yet.

If you get rcdriver magazine, in december's issue, there is a article on there that talk about and describes how to set up your diffs, including the center one, and gives the basics of diff fluids and how they effect the center diff....

Is it for buggies or MT's?

[sjcrss]

rene, if you are refering to the article, it tells you how to set it up for buggies and also truggies or mt's.....it is very informative to say the least.....

All rc magazines should make an article of Mike Cronin's V1 SLIPPERENTIAL SYSTEM with a world exclusive review, too. This is how Mike should be thanked for such an intricate and very nice unit of stability.
