but its all cool i was showing it off at work today and i broke a lot of stuff. like the 1 spur gear, 3 wheel hex's, 1 front diff, 1 push rod, and 1 rpm arm lol.

i did not konw that a poll could do so much damage haha. but its all fixed and its good. i got to try not to brake it any more cause i dont get paid for 2 more weeks and today was an expensive day.

oh yah and i broke the tekno wing mount cause i was doing backflips off of the curb. hahaha

I know how you feel. Check this out. It happened 3 weeks ago.:grrrrrr:I am still down. $120 later.:diablo:

yup yup.

also just wondering would betting the whole tranny gears in metal by robinson racing be better since i feel like the gears in the trany are going to just strip

also if i get that would i still be able to lock it into second?

Well, are the RPM arms at least a little bit stronger than the stockers? I just tore the cantilever link out of the "driver's side" front arm. Hopefully stockers will hold up next time.

Cheap fix. But if you have metal gears the pressure that would break a plastic gear has to be transferred else where. If you buy metal gears the pressure that would break them will be transferred to break something else. What would break, :neutral:who knows. You need some cheap plastic parts to take the beatings sometimes.:yes:

I only use RPM for my plastic arms. I use aluminum for lower arms though. Never broke any arms yet.:yipi:

the rpm ones are stronger then stock. cause i know if i had stock ones on it would of tore them off when i hit the poll

also on the gears i was just wondering if any one had used them and was able to lock the second still. i think i might just still with the stock ones just because its like 100 for the gears lol.

hey i just had a question about the braking.

would it be better if i where to use the motor braking or should i get the mechanical braking?

also whats the dis advantage of doing this

squeeforever

11.15.2007 12:59 AM

Mechanical would be my choice.

drkros3

11.15.2007 01:14 AM

would i still be able to do with even though i locked it into second.

Yep, you'll just want to disable the brake on the ESC (or set it to a very low strength).

drkros3

11.15.2007 01:23 AM

what about making the servo work. i heard that you use a y harnes?

MetalMan

11.15.2007 02:27 AM

A y-harness connecting the ESC and brake servo to the same channel will do the trick.

drkros3

11.15.2007 02:42 AM

oh ok i get it. maybe i well order that servo tray by tekno and then try this.

i kinda dont like the sound the motor makes when it brakes lol.
