Hot bodies 1/8 diffs

Well I just bought two sets of UE titanium hinge pins. I imagine they will work(they better!!!!!).

If I were to get a 4 pole Neu Castle motor would the ESC that came with my brushless Emaxx work with the new (Neu) motor? Or would I have to get another ESC?

It wood work fine with what you have,it going to be a nice truck when you finish it keep up the good work.

The 14500 pins from flm are the ones for the hybrid bulkheads. THe 14500 has 3 different sizes whereas the 14000 only has 2 different size pins in the box. I Have the one with the 3 different size pins but I haven't installed mine either yet......

From the the picture the 1400 and the 1450 look the same. I have a set (1450) coming to the house. Between the UE titanium pins and the 1450 pins hopefully one set will work.

I just checked the label on the bag, and it is indeed the 14500. Only two size upper and lower pins, and the uppers are too short.

Thats definitely a oddity. I Have 3 sizes and you 2 from the same part no.

So there are two different types of upper a-arm pins "long" and "longer"? That would also mean that your bag would have 12 pins in it, right?

I need to get my Ofna hyper 7 diffs shimmed so I can get them wrapped up but I drag my feet as usual. I did go and buy a box of the RC Screws this past week so this truck will get the silver bolts. Wish I had the money to color my chassis and such a purple or something like that though.

Thanks, I see. Are you going to use UE arms too? I think there is just more material on the outer parts of the upper A-Arms, and that's why the pins are not long enough. The bottom pins are perfect. I think the UE ti-pins will do the trick, and I will be able to use the Fast lane uppers on my original E-Maxx. Thanks dtnel.

I'm using RC screws as well.

[cmac]

Has anyone used one of these before?

what do you think? I like the fact that it is 4 pole.

I have the rpm true track on my old one that'll get converted over and the fronts will get swapped to rpm as well. I think when I'm done I'll be able to still have a 3rd emaxx (3905 spec) from all the extra parts since I have a complete motor setup as well. I have some decisions to make because I have 3 3906 trucks as well. I want one for water, one for a 3 axle project, one for a "pretty" truck, one for a basher.

I don't race so it looks like 2 of the oldest 3906 trucks will go or get parted out. I don't even think they'll bring much for parts on ebay unless someone is into restoring them as show trucks or something.
