Kyosho ST-RR conversion

[George16]

Well, the rain finally stopped earliear but the track is so wet and muddy. So I was forced to do the initial run on pavement while the track is drying up. My initial impression is WOW!!! The truck rides like it's on rails. I thought it will behave different compared to the nitro version (friend's truck) due to the added weight of the batteries but I was wrong. Turns on a dime and I can actually drive it at high speeds in a straight line without my hands on the steering wheel :applause: :applause: :applause: . I like it so far. I'll give more feedback once I run it on the track and do some jumps. Main concern I have is the chassis flex especially in the rear end.

Here's a couple of videos:




Temps are as follows:
Air temp - 48*F
ESC - 99*F
Batteries - 90*F
Motor -102*F

It seems too good to be true for the temps until I realized that there is a big hole on the front windshield of the body so there's a lot of airflow. The MMM's fan didn't even come on(it did during calibration and initial setup).

My setup:
Batteries - 5S 5000mah Neu lipos (I might go 4S and gear up according for 40 mph)
Pinion - 15T
Spur - 50T

Diff oils:
Front - 7K
Center - 30K
Rear - 3K

Shocks (16mm bigbores):
Front - 50wt Losi shock oil
Rear -50 wt losi
