Vid: Sleeb's 1/8 brushless converson

sleebus,

Very nice work. What you did is what I have in mind for my buggy, but unfortunately, I lost my lathe and my mill when Katrina hit I'm going to try to do what I need with a drill press. It is a really big drill press tough and can accommodate endmills. I just need to track down an X-Y table.

Again, nice work. What kind of runtimes are you getting?

You can pick up a decent xy table for under $150.

Really didn't pay much attention to runtimes, actually. I was just doing speed passes, some goofing off in the grass. Not really sure how long it ran, but it was over 15 minutes I'm pretty sure. Hopefully my tower order will come in and I can do some runs with the 13T pinion in there. I'll try to keep closer tabs on runtimes.

VERY nice sleeb!!

im going to do a buggy conversion i think, but how do the road rages hook up?

[sleebus.jones]

Road Rages hook up pretty well. In the video, I was running on asphalt, which isn't the best surface, and they will spin, but not very far. On concrete they do even better. I was seriously surprised to see how well they worked on grass. I expected them to spin forever, but they actually worked pretty good. Driftable even, haha. They wear great, I have some for my E-Maxx and 18T as well. I give 'em two thumbs up.

Hey sleeb, what kind of mill is that? Is it a CNC?

[Procharged5.0]

Manual. note the lack of DRO's or electronic interface.

[neweuser]

I didn't look that closely as I'm at work. But yeah. No pad to program. I saw one like that that I would like to get, but a little spendy.

[Procharged5.0]

They vary, but around $500 - $600 for something comparable.

Here's a link. They sell several "cost effective" mills.

[sleebus.jones]

Yup, Harbor Freight is where it came from.
