My rides: GD

[wallot]

Thanks to mild winter i run my maxx almost every Saturday. Once weather gets better I will have it in my car and run it after work on BMX track on my way home.

I actually enjoy building maxx and stuff around. There are still couple things I want to change except new batteries:
FLM Shocktowers with 1/8 scale threaded shocks
Want Nomadio React radio with all the sensors
and maybe new suspension arms

And after I am done I will probably start building a new truck - either LST or Revo

Even with 14 sanyo cells and 3.3 diffs the car is insane. Was running 51/18 gearing and all that nitro guys said was "wow". I cant imagine it with higher quality cells (with 18 cells and 1/8 diffs) the top speed should be about the same). Unfortunately front bulkhead and arms did not like one bad landing :)
Well next time i'll be running with the FLM hybrids and RPM arms are on their way.

Thats what happens when you bash hard, but it is all part of the fun.

Not trying ot bust on you... but I tried to make a thread to post pics etc of my stuff so it's not all over the forum. ;)

I think I need to work on a website and just link to that... does that work good for anyone? I have seen a few guys do that but I tcan't think of too many guys here that have websites or pages with their stuff.

:) from you first post "Maybe others can do the same" i thought its a thread for others to post pics so the forum is not full of tons of pics threads :)

I did a little racing today... it was good and bad... and had some fun.

I have a short video clip to show... just have to decide where to post the info.

[coolhandcountry]

I like that you are using the truck. Nice.

[glassdoctor]

No problem wallet... just having some fun ;0

Thanks... you need mod1 pitch pinions.

www.rc-monster.com has some as does starluck-rc.com

also you will find some made by Century, the r/c helicopter company.

Thanks.
I am using a Mamba 5700 motor which has a 1/8 inch diamiter shaft. It appears that all they have availible that works with the metal spur gear is 5mm bore. Do you know of an adapter or sleeve to make the 5mm bore pinons work with the 1/8 inch shaft?
Thanks.

Shoot Mike an email, i think he can make an adapter for you.

[glassdoctor]

Yeah.. I think he has had some 1/8" bore mod1 gears before...

EDIT: woah... you are using a MM5700 in a 777? That motor is way too hot (too high kv) for a 1/8 buggy and it's undersized too. It will run but it will get very hot.

You can try it but watch the temps and see what happens... I think you will be picking up a new motor very soon. And it will have a 5mm shaft... ;)

It will be running on 11.1v li-po. If I gear it very low, do you think I will still have problems?

12,13,14 and 15t should be available in 1/8th bore any time soon. But that motor is a concern indeed!
