Torque, torque, torque!!!!! - 01.07.2010, 04:23 PM

Well, I went out on Sunday to have a little fun with new motor... Still geared 18/51 and running it on polyquest packs (5s), the truck was a handful... torque, torque, torque, torque and more torque!!!
When front wheels finally settled to the ground, it ran beautifully... ballooning was the major issue for the day. I think most of the oil in the center diff has leaked out, therefore allowing majority off the torque
to be quickly transferred the front tyres... this made them balloon wildly (they're not taped)... so much in fact they came off the rims (even after re-gluing them on site)... the tyres didn't last very long with
the abuse they suffered and after two packs, the tyres had little grip left on them... there was still quite a bit of torque going to the rears... enough to have the truck doing wheel stands whenever I squeezed
the throttle aggressively... it made it a little challenging to get the truck off the line in drag races with my friend's G4... I lost two races because the truck could not keep all fours on the asphalt...


The temps were real good... the motor saw high 120s to 130°F and the esc peaked at 122°F... all in all... the truck was a whole lot of fun...













An example of what the front tyres suffered on Sunday



I'm still messing with the orientation options for the esc... the fan is now facing downward... didn't do any test runs yet to find out if it made any difference with cooling...








The motor wires will be shortened as soon as I'm settle with the layout
