if you are playing strictly off-road, even with the stock battery the speed pinion would probably be a better choice really because it would give you more "power" so rough terrain doesn't slow you down as much, and it would also be easier on the battery and keep the motor cooler JOEC00L: you only want to use the speed pinion if you go to a higher voltage battery, or dont mine the slower speed, because it gives you longer runtime. it actualy gears it down more so that you dont burn up the motor when you up the voltage. What battery are you using with the speed pinion? It kinda seems like you are still just using the stock battery, if thats the case, you probably already discovered that the "speed" pinion makes the truck slower when using the stock battery.
I should have went with a motor that can handle higher amounts of volts and amps and geared the driveline as such to accomodate taller gears for the high speed runs. Apparently during college he and some college buddies experimented with some high tech remote controlled vehicles and explained, in theory, how they were able to achieve higher speeds, while maintaining efficiency (with electronics and motors) I can clearly see that my current set up with the CAstle 6900Kv 4 pole motor is more geared to offroad driving. I spoke with a mechanical engineer buddy of mine and expalined to him what i was trying to do. The Stampede is now my favorite R/C thus far! Wicked Fast, Handles amazing for monster truck, and has plenty of clearance to drive through thick grass and over basically any terrain.Īlso, props to Dacaur for enlightening me on gearing do's and don'ts. I've had multiple R/C's in just the past few years: a 1/10 E-Revo Brushless, 2 x MERV's, the 1/16 Rally - my curent speed project -> nothing like Dacaur's engineered Nasa Rocket And, I recently just got the new Stampede 4x4 Brushless - basically a 4x4 slash with lifted suspension and huge Talon tires! the R/C hobby bug is going to eventually "bite" you, and when it does, just be ready for it! You'll find yourself owning a couple R/C's like I did. Unless you're lucky like DAcaur and have a company building you a titanium drive line. I haven't really seen any parts for the 1/16 scale R/C's that are better. Stick to RPM parts for suspension and traxxas parts for suspension and driveline. Only replace things that break, and when you do, try to avoid the fancy alum parts by Integy and other companies. I'm still fairly new to hobby grade R/C's having only been messing with them for about 3 years now, and I can say that the MERV will be awesome for you, but get those T-Bone bumpers for added assurance. T-Bone bumpers 110% all the way for those who like bashing or are new to R/C's and haven't figured out the "right touch" of throttle and brake. I couldn't agree with you more about the RPM parts and especially the T-Bone Bumpers. Imagine the slash with the wheels sticking out past the fenders. My buddy converted his slash into a MERV, but kept the body mounts and the slash body! Actually Looked pretty good! He had to trim the fenders a bit to accept the Talons, but when he had the slash wheels on there it looked good. They make great products that are so very durable. If you are bashing theres a pretty good chance youll break some a-arms and axle carriers eventually.
#MINI E REVO BATTERY SERIES#
Glad to hear youre enjoying it man, watch those temps while running series and doing speed runs you dont want to burn up your esc or motor, although traxxas has great support if it does happen. Still getting used to that, I've never had an R/C that's so powerful before.
I guess it's either that or I need a bit more throttle control. I'm already looking into new tires though, these stock ones were spinning wildly on the hard gravel and dirt that we have here in CO. I'll likely swap it back shortly though as I plan to mostly use this thing on dirt.
#MINI E REVO BATTERY FULL#
Last night I swapped in the speed pinion so I'm ready to try a couple of full speed runs today to see what it's like. I guess if it comes loose again, I'll get another shot at it. But, it seems to be holding on pretty strongly. So, the tire isn't fully seated in the bead in a few spots. For some reason, I didn't expect it to be like super glue. I wasn't prepared for how quickly the glue sets. So, I went to the LHS and bought some tire glue and reglued the tire. Well, I shouldn't say I learned just yet, but it's on there at least :-) After running the car for about an hour yesterday, I noticed the inner bead of the LR tire was coming loose.
#MINI E REVO BATTERY HOW TO#
So, after day one, I've already learned how to glue tires.
