.32 Nitro VS Bigmaxximum (PULLOUT)!!

[BrianG]

I was pulling my daughter around in her wagon the other day and found the best place to hook up was at chassis level. If I hooked higher like at the wing brace, the front would lift. If I hooked up lower than the chassis, the rear didn't hook up as well. So, redshift's theory does work.

Haha kids these days have it made. I had to tow myself around, or find a hill lol.

Yeah you could do a static test by tying up to an immovable object, trying various mounts, and apply a little throttle to see how the truck reacts. Or you could fake him out and have him tie up higher than you, that would assure a win hehe. But we're brushless, we don't need to cheat do we?

You might have to think about going w/ mod1 gears at some point if you fry hardened 32p gears. Then again, better that than something else. g/l

[BrianG]

Gearing that is too low may cause motor overheating if you are winding it out at top rpms a lot. But for the most part, gearing low does result in lower temps because the motor (and the rest of the system) isn't working as hard.

@BrianG I see. Well i'm not racing with it geared low only pulling. I won't have the rpms up no higher than I have to to drag those nitro trucks down the parkinglot. Also, I might try to pull a nitro 1/5 scale streetcar and a 1/5 nitro truck if they are down for the challenge. Stay tuned!!

I will go easy on you!1/4 throttle
Nice thread,by the way!

[Finnster]

Ah, alu pinions will wear badly on steel. Make sure you get hardened steel pinions for that spur. If in doubt, buy rcm.


I would love to watch that pull. 1527 vs dual Pletties :)

[T-Bro]

No match... He'd win for sure right now. We can pull for pink slips for sure. As soon as I get my other motor and Esc to throw on the other side of my truck. Until then i'll pass.

[killajb]

Interesting match tho.. T-Bro seems to have a chassis/wheel combo more suited for pulling. As-is, I wonder if dual Plettenbergs on an extended chassis with 40-series wheels would be enough to offset any difference in center of gravity and traction..

Hmm..

[T-Bro]

I reversed my tire tread yesterday. AMAZING Difference!!

[Bondonutz]

Glad I could help !
More video of you smacking that nitro ass !

[T-Bro]

Ha ha... I already have 1 waiting for you.... Its too short to make a video so I'm waiting until I pull a couple more trucks this Sunday and then Part II will be made!

[Finnster]

Hows the weights working out?

[T-Bro]

So far the front bumper one, not needed. I just added the extra Battery pack for my last pull-out. I could tell a difference, but my tire tread wasnt reversed. I'll really get to see where I stand weight/traction wise this Sunday.

Just purchased the Monoblock from UE Hopefully this will help keep minimize the wheelies. Probably not alot but anything will help. Now tell me this. My friend is talking about buying some lightning 1/8 scale nitro truck with 2, 4.3 motors so he can pull against me. Who do you think would win??
