Have you coated the entire shaft with Loctite? I had that problem on a truggy. I coated the entire motor shaft generously with Blue loctite and then slide the pinion on. Then generously applied loctite to the set screw and tightened it down. I let it sit for at least a day. That pinion became a pain to get off needless to say.

thanks nitro

sweet avatar
I found a cool long Pinion that has two set screws. and I'll try your idea

It really matters what support tech you speak to there seems to be only TWO good techs at Castle Creations, JOE is a PRO with the MAx and MONSTER AND setting up your RADIO. He calmly and politely listens and accepts that the old radio I use that does have a BRAKE button can and does work on my ESC's the other guy tells me there's no such thing and the ESC is not set up to do it.

SO with that I have my Mnster ESC working with my Old am 27mhz Airtronics XL2P That has a "BRAKE button"
HE also help trouble shoot that I had a poor performing Receiver, unlike the other guy that just got angry
THAnk you Joe, you are the man !

so I hope to get some video soon

today I was driving it and Pulled full throttle and it leaped in the air sideways and landed on it's side ! Remember it's almost 3 feet long and 15" wide and over 10 lbs !
Speed was hard to reach in front of my house but probably reached 50
that's insane power

swapping from a 14 pin to a 17pinion 9.5 final ratio , maybe calm the torque a little

Do you have any 1/4 oval tracks by you? We have one local to us. This would be a blast on a track like this!

Uhh are you talking to me? Are you from RCU, M2 or BYT? or Youtube? Yea I've been checking this forum out for a while admire the creativity waiting to pick up an ezrun and kingmotor baja when i go to HK. But when i comeback

oh yeah fun fun fun. I figured during my 16 hr flight I'll design the chassis and when i come back i'll use the good ol CNC

. Problem is i need to know the dimensions and what wheel nuts he using. That help alotttt.

Its alright.

Um... have you read the whole thread? What specs are you talking about? Dimensions? Chassis length and width?

littleazn248 · 11.11.2009, 12:13 AM

Yea I've been through all the pages of the build process. The information i am seeking though is super specific because I cut all my chassis on CNC (unfortunately not mine). I was hoping that i could get the distance between the front and rear bulkheads. I was also curious did you have to modify the bulkheads to fit in a revo arm?

littleazn248 · 11.12.2009, 11:31 PM

hmm i've been doing some research and cant seem to fine the wheel adapters you are using towards the end i see the OSH ones but i want to get ones like you use towards the end. You are using FG racing wheels right?

Thanks

Sorry guys haven't been here in a while, I got an email notice from here, so I'm back now. with the car breaking so much I got a little distracted and built my Berg Crawler.
If you Use the monster size Road rage tires you would need to cut the wheel wells just a bit, i think those tires are like 6", should be some really great traction though.
Tell me about " M2 " I am not familiar with it.

Yea, they seem to be made into many different things including crawlers.

YEa I know they are very hard to find. They are Losi quick change adaptors part number LOSA2996 .

I also built an Off-roader, stretched out my RC10 GT (gas) since the engine was toast I made a electric engine mount and swapped in the Mamba MOnster and Castle motor, it's a blast to drive.

Back to the 1/5, I have the car back on the bench now and put the ESC back in. I bought a double set screw Pinion gear and added loctite, seems to be doing the trick. I need to replace the Front and Rear Bulkheads as they have endure damage from crashing.
SHould be able to get to that next week. Looking forward to getting it back on the road.
I am in Campbell and not far from the RAMS club Fremont College 1/5 races near Great America

I found the Black wheels on Ebay, used $50. but they don't have enough grip for this 6S so I am thinking of grooving them. I contacted FG supply they recommended these

Hope that helps
Oh the chassis dimensions : well it has many angles but the widest width is 7", total length 27" , between the arms under the diffs is 2 1/8", wheel base 20.5"

Anything else ?

SpeedAssault · 11.26.2009, 02:46 PM

Pulled out the stock emaxx Bulkheads to replace with the grey ones and found my axle shafts are breaking apart

Whats the best CVD shafts ? hopefully without breaking the bank

Looking to get this back on the road

Thanks

Traxxas CVDs. Their only flaw IMHO is when the suspension is raised up more than ~3/4 they fall out of the cup after landing jumps and such making for a bent shaft. You won't have this problem.

SpeedAssault · 11:43 PM

Kcaz25 , thank you. I may do that. how are the RDlogics shafts ?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

In thinking about the break, it is just my right rear and now that my ESc is more dialed in and I have learned not to gun the trottle I may be ok with the stock ones.
But I need to know what other options I have.

Have you used them on 6s lipo ?

I once gunned it from a dead stop and the 12lb car jump 1 foot straight up and landed on passenger door, I dont think it moved forward much

these are Awesome looking shafts but I cannot afford them now.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
