Damn linc, I'm getting the LST2 now, but I may have to think about this...

Ooh, nice. Looks like an extended F-350, only not the normal pickup version Im so desperate to get hold of; where'd you find that one to?

[Candyman2]

Hey, its actually a Proline Excursion, pretty long but not as long as that 350, i had one of those recently.

[Candyman2]

ok after the bigmaxximum disaster im now back on track!

initial testing is good, the lower KV (1650kv rather than the bigmaxx 2150kv) gives me a lot more room to move on gearing.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Hey Candyman, what's your current gearing with that motor... Did you see a big difference to the Bigmaxx?

I left the pinion the same (12 on a 56 spur ), according to my calculations it was geared for 47mph, which was too much, with this motor its 38mph, after some more testing i'll probably gear up a tooth. Im just paraniod about cooking the motor again :s

Its super punchy, spins all 4 wheels and wheelies if you stab the throttle at any speed, its good, but then it will feel punchier with the lower gearing.

I butchered my old bigmaxximum and made a heatsink, it was either that or mirror polish the neu

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Cool.. that sounds pretty powerful... Did you take any temp readings on that motor? What if you removed the anodizing from both the bigmaxx and neu casings, then give them a nice polish job...
I think that would look stunning... It would definitely go along with all the shiny bits of the chassis...

Can't wait to see a new vid of the truck.

are you sill running Nimh's

thats a beast of a motor- maybe mirror finish the motor and heatsink? that would look drop dead

[suicideneil]

That would look cool actually, but perhaps only on the BM, since Neu do have good aftersales service; not sure how they'd view a polished motor can.

Still got the fan unit from the BM though? I'll take that in exchange for a Mars bar/ similar value item...

[mkrusedc]

Excellent heat sink!!

[Candyman2]

I have the fan, unfourtunatly the end of the bigmaxximum rotor is threaded and the fan screws into it! i'd say drillng and tapping the rotor of that medussa is going to be a hard job.

Now that's one kick *ss Neu Big Maxx....

[Candyman2]

Sun glasses at the ready

[florianz]

I can#t believe that the neu fits into the bigmaxx?!?! really?? did you have to drill the can? It looks awsome. did you take thermal paste?
