Talk 1520 - your experiences

Sorry for the late response. Here are some pictures of my bashing beast.

-LST2
-XXL Chassis conversion
-MMM/1520 motor
-Flextek Titanium arms
-Aluminum hubs
-Tini Pinion/Spur/diff gears/tranny gear
-Forward only conversion, E-LST gear swap
-I made a make-shift battery tray out of an old parts container while my new one was being shipped, however I continue to use it as it does the trick quite well.

I absolutely love the weight setup of the truck... As much weight forward as possible, and it still jumps level!

Don't mind the crappy pictures or state of the truck, just waiting on some parts to beef up the corners a bit more.

117°C is 242°F. Castle motors must be kept below 200°F or 93°C.

My motor stays cool in my Savage on 6S with 20/44. Still flips too easy though. Need to swap all the stuff to the Muggy now, the center diff should be great for handling.

He was stating that it was 117°F, not C. Read the post carefully.

Yeah, figured it later since the other guys would think it's still really cold in Canada. (or is it?)

Check the mugen spur and the rear shaft ;) Shimming was always correct

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Interesting... what make pinion are you using? I don't normally see that kind of deterioration on spurs...

Alien

[nuz69]

Many ^^
RCmonster pinions : eated after 5-10 bateries :(
Robinson racing : eated...
losi : eated..
ect..
ect..
novak : seems to be no digestive for the moment

[Thomas Porfert]

I feel silly for asking, but that's not the gear mesh you normally run, right?

[Kcaz25]

I make sure I can feel alittle bit of play, rocking the spur back and forth I can hear, feel, and see the perfect mesh. Its just a small amount of click/clack. The paper method got me prepaired for this.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Cool... I use the by ear method also ... I am really interested in those Novak pinions though... maybe I'll give them a try soon.

[Jahay]

i have never seen wear like that! Your pinion is handling it very well!!!! Thats usually how my pinion looks as my spur is still fresh! Got to try novak next!

[nuz69]

Lool no no no, the pinion is brand new, the spur has already seens a lot of 80 batteries of 6S 4000mAh and a lot of nitro liters :D, I bought the truggy used !

So are you saying that the Novaks may not be stronger than previous brands?

[nuz69]

No because when I said it's new, I said it have a few batteries, some other brands pinions were very used only after one or two batteries, that's why novak seems to be the strongest pinions for the moment.
Anyway I will post new pictures of the mesh in a few days, as I drive my truggy one or two hours a day, it will be revelative ;)
