do you think 50/13 would be overgeared or undergeared ?

Undergeared.

Anyway, I installed the Castle 2200Kv motor on my ST RR. I still have to run it though. Weather had been crappy lately and it looks like it going to continue raining through the weekend.

I think so Lito, just remember to give other people a chance to purchase their quality product aswell :lol: Did you run the Neu in this truggy previously or did you go straight into running with the Medusa?

I ran the TeknoRC Neu, Medusa, and now will be running the Castle Neu. Between the TeknoRC and Medusa, I like the TeknoRC better. I'll post about the Castle Neu once I get a chance to run it. It's been raining for a week and the track is full of water.

In fact, I returned my TeknoRC Neu to Neumotors for repairs (bearings wer shot) and I just received a shipping notification yesterday :party::party::party:.

George16 : heh cool setup :smile:

since my KB36-7XL was dead ( overheating ) here is my new setup :

Motor : Neu 1515/1.5D/F 2700kv ( 5mm Shaft )
Speed : Mamba Max 1/0 ESC ( Bec Disabled )
Battery : TrueRC 14.8V 6400mAh 15C 4S2P ( 96A Cont. 128A Burst. )
Gearing : 50t Spur - 13 Pinion.

how do the runtime would be on this ? and all would run perfect and cooler no overheating problems ?

Jason: for a buggy, that would be fine; but in a truggy, might be geared a bit high - I'd try 12T pinion first (for 36.5mph)

That is a potent motor. In my erevo with that motor a pair of 4900 25c 2s lipos wired for 4s could barely keep up. I would go down to a 12t pinion. Your lipo will thank you.

I agree with what was said. Right now, I'm geared at 50/14 but still have to run it though. I'm hopinghtis weekend will be better.

ok I dont have buy this Neu 2700kv I have Buyed one Neu 1515 2.5D 1700kv Motor I plan run it on TrueRC 4s 15c 6400mah and 50t spur & 17t pinion :

I would run it soon on bigger diameters tires badland MT so I will get 1 or 2mph more ...

how do you like this one ?

Well, the weather is still not cooperating so I decided to go to the Japanese LHS and bought some more stuff for my ST RR. Kyosho parts is definitely cheaper here compared to Amain Hobbies.

Anyway, since I can't run the truggy, I decided to install the following hopups:

Top is Fioroni 7075T6 center diff mount and bottom is a pair of Fioroni 7075T6 .5 degree rear hub carriers:

...George you are HERE? As in Japan? It all makes sense now :D North or south of Tokyo?

...I was just flicking through and considering putting an STR center into the HFX BrimStone...its my build in the Savage section and i have just liost the link...

...Cool though...I had no idea you were so close...Cheers...

I'm at the US Navy base in Yokosuka which is about 40 miles south of Tokyo. Where are you located at? I usually go to Tam Tam by Route 16 in Sagamihara. I'll probably be going to Akihabara when the weather gets warmer a bit.

Anyway, I received the Traxxas ESC mount and decided to install one of them on my truggy. I got the mounting plate idea from rootar. I had to move the battery plate half an inch forward to make room for the ESC. Here are some pics.
