track tested my truggy and brushless slash

[rootar]

Well i tested out the truggy today on the track, i was running as hard as possible because id rather know now if something is gonna get to hot or go out on me, highest temps i saw all day (ran 4 packs through it) were 178* on the 10xl, 153* on the Mod1 MM, and 108* on the flightpower 5s. i got about 23-25 minutes of solid track time before i hit the cutoff of 16.5 volts. Im gonna try gearing up a tooth on the pinion as i think i was staying to high in the rpms, this should lower the motor temps, and ill have a fan (just in case) on the mm before the big race next weekend but if i can find the sweet spot with my gearing i should have a much cooler motor and about the same on the mm.

btw does anyone else have a problem with over jumping the hell out of even the biggest and longest jumps on the track? i had to let off on the two biggest jumps (both of which the nitros never back out of gas on).



I also picked up my slash today, i ran a couple packs thru it bone stock at the track and then when i got home i had a box from Mike with exactly what i needed, so the slash is setup like i had talked about in a previous thread with, 3s, mm, 9L, ccbec, mod1 gears, and the rc-monster heatsink clamp (which was a VERY tight fit), its geared for bout 45 mph. i made two spacers to go under the back of the battery hold down piece to lift it up for the 3s crapamps pack, and the bec is hiding under the mm and mount. cant wait to run this baby tomorrow.

also is a picture of badlands mounted on the slash only problem is youd need alot of body trimming or raise the body mount up a 1/2 inch
